I personally prefer amazon over ebay. To me it's easier to get started and stay stealth and stay active. I'm afraid of eBay.

Inventory management
------------------------------------
I would like to expand my business and get more inventory and products, the inventory and products i currently have i get from a friend that owns a cellphone store
The availability is the amount i input into amazon that i have in stock, usually put 10 - 20 at a time when close to running out i restock on the items.
I did not expect to sell this much to be honest but i will be selling a lot more if i get more products which i will be working on after this review.
So far my sales gross has been 1841.19 from my first sale date June 10 July 3rd with 113 orders. So id say around 2200 gross with about 150 orders monthly but am aiming for higher.
Selling history
------------------------------------
I do not have a selling history outside of Amazon, i have just started selling on this site and find it very easy to use and would like to continue and expand a lot more.
I do not sell in a physical location.
Additional information
------------------------------------
Looks like all my customers have been happy with there products as i have not gotten any complaints from them and strive to provide the best customer service and same day shipping.
Contact phone number

I get suspended. But i don't care. I just make more accounts. At least on amazon I can get straight to selling without a lot of verification. eBay and PayPal require more iformation and sometimes want you to call in. It's easier to make multiple accounts. Ever since I got suspended on eBay, I have been an amazon enthusiast. Everyone has their own techniques and preferences though.

818******* | You ACTUALLY wrote this in an Appeal to Amazon reguarding your Review???
Are you CRAZY??
I suggest that FIRST Read Amazon Ghost and that you start on a FRESH NEW Stealth account, because I CANNOT see your current account lasting to much longer,,,

If you don't know what this email is and/or didn't expect to see it, then you definitely didn't do any/enough research before attempting to sell on Amazon. It's exciting to see the sales and the money rolling in so quickly, but you can't let that overshadow your judgment and preparation.
Unfortunately, you will not pass the review and will be banned (95% chance). Hopefully you'll get your money disbursed to you in 90 or 120 days, but you will not be able to sell on Amazon again with this account.
If you wish to reattempt selling on Amazon, perform exhaustive research BEFORE opening an account and then give it another shot. Most people here seem to have had good luck with the Amazon Ghost book, so that would likely be a good start.
Good luck.

818******* | That is probably the worst appeal letter that you can write if you want to stay on Amazon. They want plans of action which contain facts and figures, you have demonstrate that you are in control of your business.
You have demonstrated that you have a lack of understanding of good business practice and relies on a friendship to contact business.

One of the Things you Do NOT tell Amazon is that your "Friend, who owns a Cell Phone Shop is your supplier". Because if your selling phones, well then they are gonna think that you are creating ⊗⊗⊗⊗ accounts with at&t, verizon or whoever just to get free or cheap phones. and then you are re-selling them on amazon, but of course you would'nt know anything about that.

A Proffesional seller tells Amazon his supplier is "ABC Industries" or whatever the TRUE Suppliers name is.
Now if you cannot understand my point, well, then there is NOTHING I or anyone else on this forum can do to help you,,,
Good luck

Good luck | Slapped, i do get the point.... all i read is your doing it wrong but i don't get an suggestion on what the right thing would be to do or say. I have a few other vero items i get from dhgate but named brands from d h gate are obviously not real but are such high class quality that professionals won't be able to tell the difference which is why ive sold over 50 and they are all happy with there purchase and there isn't anything online that people talk about fa kes about those item.

Also, another thing that I have learned with AMZ.. If your selling foo-foos, dont let your account balance get too high. You want to stay under the radar. Its easy to make alot of accounts and only selling $300 per account, per disbursement, when starting off.. Its one of those things that you dont want to put all your eggs in one basket. Keep it minimal, that when WHEN you do get suspended and hit with the 90 day hold, the loss is only minimal.
But in your case, your pushing it with a balance of $781 and all your selling is foo-foos.. Ive been there and done that.. And now I keep my Amazon balances low and just have alot of accounts. Because its not a matter of if you'll get suspended, but WHEN..
