Anyone using the FBA?
 

Just wondering if using FBA helps or hurts chances of getting banned?

Re: Anyone using the FBA?
 

FBA is good.

Issue is running an account to not end up being killed by amazon.

Operate with the idea that amazon control sellers and demand perfection.

If you can not offer that, dont use amazon

If your account gets suspended you have to pay .50+ per item to get them back. For some sellers that could easily get above 5k really quick. Also, from what I've seen, Amazon doesn't exactly carefully pack items that you call back.. I have plenty of newly damaged merchandise thanks to Amazon's lackluster shipping methods.

If you have a good margin FBA is the way forward. FBA does not seem to attract rolling reserves, reviews etc. But if your sell ⊗⊗⊗⊗ and get banned you lose your stock and your cash and also amazon have the evidence to pass on that you are selling counterfeit.
