I skrewed up on my ebay accounts now i started doing Amazon.
 

I had an amazon account but never used it because it was just to confuesing to me after doing ebay, now that i skrewed up all my ebay accounts i wanted to try it..... honestly i have no idea what im doing on it. What can i possiably do to skrew this one up now? I have listed a bunch of items at once, can this trigger a suspension?

you are more than likely going to screw up amazon as well. Note that amazon doesnt like to give second chances. any little thing will get you canned.

Think about why you were canned from ebay and rethink your selling ways before even proceeding to amazon

i got canned for selling i love boobies bracelets, no one was allowed to sell those there... but on amazon i see others selling it.

Try and read the way Amazon works before selling, give yourself time and the also the best way to sell your items.

AMZ are very strict and completely different from the way EB operates.

Amazon is all about staying within the metrics and keeping the clients happy, too many negative feed backs and A-z claims will get you canned.

Ive had two ebay accounts with 100% feedback and got up to 90 on one of them and this last one i got canned im still getting feedback i checked today i have 106, so if thats all i have to worry about on amazon then im good :)

That is not the least of your problems with amazon.

B4 you rush into this venture., thro' read this part of the forum.

amazon play really differently from ebay.

You need to work to their rules or get killed.

Velocity limits, funds disbursements learn their meanings :juggle:

i tried searching for that thread couldn't find it :noidea:

Time for Am az on Ghost guide.

That is your FIRST Rookie Mistake,,,,,NO ONE is good on AMAZON,,,,EVER,,,This Weekend a fellow Stealther and Friend of mine told me that he lost an Amazon account with OVER 600,,,100% Positive Feedback,,,,And he has been Stealthin on Amazon for YEARS, with Countless accounts,,,so it is SAFE to assume that he is a Bit more experienced than you,,,

If you had problems on Ebay,,I GUARANTEE Amazon will give you NOTHING but heartache

Read the book,,,Read and search the Forum,,learn as MUCH about Amazon as Possible,,Believe me,,I sell on Both Amazon and Ebay,,,Amazon is MUCH, MUCH,,Harder to sell on that Ebay,,,,you WILL Learn this, Amazon will TEACH you,,,,


Search the forum for threads on How Amazon simply DELETES Accounts all together with NO Warning, and Loaded with MONEY that will KEEP,,,Yes This is now VERY Common with Amazon and LEGAL,,,Some usere here have LOST TENS of THOUSANDS of Dollars this way,,,,,,,,

Do you still think that you have Nothing to worry about?

Good Luck

I am now even more histitant to use Amzon than before. I have a good, legal legitimate business that makes good money on eBay and have been thinking about selling on Amazon too, but read of all the issues people have. I have am registered on Amazon under real details but have only bought, never sold. Do these problems generally just affect people using stealth?

Not at all.

For real AMAZON sellers, the past years have been horrendous.

That said, applying due diligence helps with lots of hard work. amazon is not easy.

And they dont even have paypal in the mix :boink:

:doh: wooooow today was my first time selling i sold 12 items and have in my balance about 250$.......... I'm skrewed arent i(my account is not stealth)..... amazon to me just felt so much more legit now im just scared :tears:

also another thing that scares me is that it said i should recieve a payment of 45$ on the 14th now thats gone

Reserve Amount


What is the Reserve Amount?

The reserve amount is the amount of funds Amazon keeps reserved in your seller account to cover potential or existing buyer disputes, including those received through the A-to-z Guarantee program or chargebacks. This section will only be displayed if your account currently has a reserve amount.

A reserve amount may exist in your seller account for one or more of the following reasons:

You are on the Individual selling plan. The reserve reflects your orders confirmed as shipped during the 14 days immediately preceding the settlement date.
Amazon is processing one or more A-to-z Guarantee claims filed against your seller account within the past 30 days.
Amazon is processing one or more chargebacks filed against your seller account within the past 30 days.
Amazon reasonably concludes that your seller account actions or performance may result in buyer disputes, chargebacks, or other claims against your seller account.
Amazon is conducting a review of your seller account because we observed an unexpected change in your sales or account activity.
For the specific reason the funds were reserved, in the payments section of your seller account, click "View Reason" next to the amount reserved.

Once claims or chargebacks are processed, and if Amazon concludes that it is no longer necessary to reserve funds, the remainder of the reserve amount is made available for disbursement.

The current settlement amount reflects the difference between your account balance and the reserve amount. An account balance held as a reserve amount is carried over from one settlement period to the next as a positive account balance.

For more information, see Getting Paid.

Copy pasting is nice but do you understand the point of the message?

This is my first time selling, in a day i got that much out of it they just want to make sure everything goes will then they will release the reserve..... so once items have been delivered and i get good feedback they will let go of the reserve right? If thats the case i am completely fine with that, but if this triggered something bad then im kinda shaking.

Technically, you should be ok but if you selling risky material...your account could go down at any time. Yes, you should be shaking - nothing I can say will relieve that. Az has caused me a lot of headaches even for LEGIT stuff.

Its an Infamous "Amazon Account Review" You will Know the Result Next month,,I suggest that you do NOTHING in the account until then,,and Also,,Keep the Phone handy,,Recently Amazon has Begun calling Sellers,,,Random I Believe,,,But just to be safe Have that phone with you

So your suggesting i remove all of my inventory? Its my cellphone i always have on me :)

Good luck selling on there. I was selling hard drives on a stealth account when they deleted the account with $1200 in it. Over 1 year later and I still have not received the money. I will never sell on there again[zINDENT][/INDENT].

My real account went toast and have never been back. Would be nice though cause the mark-up is much better and strict standards make for less competition.

So your suggesting i remove all of my inventory?

No one makes suggestions - just advice and notes on experience. The final decision is yours - be about your business.

I Suggest that you STOP selling,,and wait for the review to be over,, this way if you fail the review,,you will have less money tied up,,

slapped said NOTHING like that.

Start training yourself to 'listen' & not assume.

I think he is very excited that he has made so many sales.......

yes you are right, i am..... this business has so much money in it that it makes the blood in my veins boil.

I got this message yesterday guys, i contacted amazon a couple of times no one could really help me but they all said it seems strange that they have contacted you through a sellers account when usually something like this you would have gotten a message from amazon first....

What should i do? the amazon support (i talked to few) told me it was possibly spam, but i took off the listing and haven't replied to the message...... how do i know it isnt just someone trying to find out where i got the items from how much money i have made off it and how much i got them for?

Amazon support really sucks. :boink:

Not that anyone cares but i got in contact with the lawyer and he said,dont sweat it your not in trouble for the amount of bracelets you have, its not worth my time i take down people that have over 20k bracelets.

The Lawyer told you that?

Speaking of surprises, slapped, anyone think that legal letter isn't totally professional?

something is Wrong thats for SURE

Well he did say he wants me to take a pair of scissors and cut all the amount i have and throw in garbage..... and if i continue doing it they will have to take action. But in the end seemed like a real cool guy.

I wouldn't sweat it. Ignore the letter.

Letters dont count for sh*t unless sent via registered means.

Did you google the attorney name? The law group? You do have to do some research.

That being said...final onus on you

All the info is there my friend i didn't even write back to the message i reseched his name and found his number called him and his secretary picked up left him a message and got a call back from him.... it was him that had sent the message but he also told me he sends messages like that all the time

Type this in google

and please tell me if i contacted the right person it should be the first link

Well, if your account is under Review, and the Lawyers letter that you recieved is indeed legit, I can only assume that that lawyer also sent one to Amazon in reguards to your selling account,,,that is gonna make passing the account Review a little difficult,,,better take a look at Amazon Ghost,,,

After doing your research AllAboutStealth, you have to make a decision. Personally, it's too much to go scrambling in a lost cause. I will not be googling that name or whatever because it does me no good profitwise or timewise :( sorry...

I like slapped's idea though...
