Activity: 0% Longevity: 68% | | How to sell amazon in long run
My old amazon account is suspended by amazon 1 year ago, and I just follow the way of Amazon Ghost open another amazon account using another company, so far is great. I sell very slow in this first month, parts of money is reserve by amazon, do you guys have any tips how I can sell in the future? I plan to sell a lot like my old account that used to sell 300 piece per day. my item is low risk I think, not like Disney Disc.
Thank you, Please give me some advise!

I believed I got banned when a competitor reported me for whatever reason. I think to sell long term you should not only have one account but to have 2-3 accounts and spread your inventory over them that way if you were selling 300 items a day and one account got suspended you would be selling 200 items a day and it wouldn't kill your business.

I agree with the concept of more accounts, spread sales - good policy

I understand, but the reason is I am not good at control couple account at the same time, if I made a mistake and related all accounts, then my amazon will dead immediately.
my question is I get a new company, I have the EIN and all information is real, so I think it would be fine, I think amazon will not easy to related to my old account right?

amazon are very smart to find out about old suspended accounts and often link them to the new (stealth) accounts.
Be careful of what items you sell now, even after one year .
Please think of changing your plan to avoid troubles. | |

i would also add some other items at higher prices, so even if you dont have the items you look different to amazon and could make a few bucks if they actually sell

I think it is OK but you need to watch for works in your description. Quote:

The best advise on this has already been given, and its multiple accounts.
I run a own a UK company and our entire business model was based on Amazon and eBay last year our Amazon account got suspended and we nearly had to lay two members of staff off.
We now operate with 4 different Amazon seller accounts so if the worst does happen and we lose and account our business doesn't suffer, We also have these setup so each payment cycle is 3-4 days apart so rather than waiting for two weeks for our money we have income every 3 days or so which has helped us to grow.
You need to be very careful listing anything that you have listed on your old and also avoid similar patterns and emails to buyers, we handle each of our 4 accounts with a different "personality" e.g. different ways to write and sign off buyer emails

How can you change the payment cycle from 2 weeks to 3-4 days. I thought Amazon has fixed this cycle to 2 weeks already.

You can't change that. What he mean is setup the account on a different day so in 4 days he get pay from account1, next 4 days he get pay from account2 and so on. Quote:

You can if your stealth account is in a different city and your items are not more than 10 percent alike. So for every same item you are going to sell just list 9 other items. You don't have to have the product, jut price it high enough so someone won't buy
