Default Listing same item, different color

So the consensus I get is you can list the same items on a stealth account as long as you post 10 listings for every same item you are selling. You should register in another city.

My question is, what if I sell the same item but a different color? It would be a different sku so my thinking is you don't have to worry too much about these items.

just sell items from a different category, price so you are about 5th seller, this way you don't need stock and your catalogue is varied.If by chance you sell an item, but unlikely buy it from the cheapest vendor

I don't follow that reasoning as regards amazon.

I would not like to read you have misunderstood their detection criteria.

It's not good on ebay. I never risk it on amazon.

But, I am very conservative too.

Different Sku means different item so should be safe....

My understanding is amazon watches suspended accounts inventory for approx 90 days, if another account within 100-200 miles sell 54% of matching inventory it gets flagged.

just add more things to your inventory and put a high price on them, if they sell go buy one and there is free money

two birds with 1 stone

How can we possibly know this specific information unless an insider has shared this?

I doubt the colour has anything to do with the item - if it`s a risky item or hot item, it will always be so.

Also would depend on the category and particular item - your choice.

If the SKU is different, then the item is different,all amazon is interested is in is matching sku's. You will be fine
