Just open an Amazon with my real information.

Swiftronics · #1 06-17-2013

OK, questions if I stay corrected the average monthly selling limit for a new account is <750 correct?

So, I opened an account via Amazon for the first time, never sold there before, never needed to. But after reading online, on aspkin, and on their forums, sounds like Amazon keeps their limits at 750/mo and increases as your metrics advance.

However, like the tittle, I register with my business address, even my ssn, and all credit card and bank information, my real phone number. Of course, I don't think this matters.

What are my chances I get hit with reviews, and I end up waiting for monies for months? Setting aside the products that are going in first, cannot place a large ticket item, I can't afford to become an Amazon victim

It`s not just the monthly limit - it`s also what you sell - is it high risk? Have you sold stuff like this before and got banned? Important to note

Still recommend making back-ups ASAP

There are many facets to amazon. Don't be swayed into thinking otherwise

Go thro all the posts. Learn about amazon

It is tougher than ebay

Yeah, I'm getting the Amazon Ghost book before I start my quest, I am not very happy of amazon's long disbursement times, seems like waiting for 14 days rather daily, never had to wait for funds, will have to update my accountant on this and my legal team in case the account goes to hell.

Just to note, while there are a number of drawbacks using FBA, it will allow you to go beyond the $750/month by quite a lot..

One would thinking holding inventory with Amazon gives you some clout..

amazon really only allows amazon to have clout.

If you sell to their methods, you can do well.

It takes practise.

Swift' clearly stated that this is the first time on amazon so why your question?

I appreciate you have already taken the plunge and used real info.

Please make sure you read thorougly how amazon does deal with its sellers.

I am worried you are underestimating how amazon operate.

If you fall out of favor with them, account deletion may occur.

Be aware of this very early.

That`s the way of the system - the daily disbursement got abused and toasted by other users

One case of I wish it was still the old days.

Buddy, if you have never sold on amazon, use your real info. Ghost is for many of us with deleted accounts etc. If you are carful and play by the rules you will be OK, and if you get deleted you have you real info to try and recover your info. A ghost cannot do this as we don't exist.....

Swiftronics · #13 06-21-2013

Thanks everyone really, helpful info, I already uploaded some small accessories, I am thinking maybe they can find my duns number and pull up our credit history by our EIN..?

It would be really nice if amazon implemented a corporate account, or simply let users know their limits, optional tab just in case. My partners think we need to built feedback, and then figure out if we post expensive ticket items or not. If we get hit with velocity limits, that would be embarrassing.

I will keep this thread posted, with how my staff and I coordinated this account, I'm given it a master email to start.

Not at all true - ghost works well for many people...even those without deleted accounts. I am not a fan of using real info...ever
