Oh yes, I've had this before ... Amazon is immediately putting all new seller accounts that cross over, I think the dollar amount is $200, of sales into review right away

Hope you get the good feedback from the sales to boost you through review too

Used items and you got a review?

Amazing.

Did you sell used items on Amazon in the past?

how old is your account? and i doubt those two things lead to sales of more than $200...

I had sold used Items in the past no problem at all. The dollar amount for these are a total of 68.00 !! Lets see if the amazon buying thieves blow up this account.. I think B Board is right. 200.00. I had an account go into review at 225.00 not to long ago.

This account is 2 weeks old The only inventory are these two Items That sold and 2 other petty Items.Staying away from the media categories...I know they trash you big time and noticed a lot of restricted Items also.

While that is good - it is possible to get hit with reviews on anything on Amazon...their equation for risk management is pretty complex - even to the time of listing vs. number of sellers in that listing

I've actually tried and tested this on well over 8 accounts in the past year ... and for those that would like to know, I am darn near 100% sure the cutoff when a new account will go into review is around $200

That is when your account WILL go into a review UNLESS you have not inserted your disbursement ... which is why I advise all new sellers to wait untill after you have crossed $200 in sales, before you input your bank account number.

This is the method I have been using, and if you do this, you can generate up to approx $1,000 in sales before your account goes into your first review (other factors withstanding)

Just in case you need to know ...

This is really good info by bboard and I feel that it is probably quite accurate. Thanks from me for giving out good solid info based on your research.
