Penalized for no stock?
 

Will amazon penalize you for not having stock on an item?

I want to ensure that a new ghost account does not exceed $750USD in the first 28 days of being active.

Is it better to put no stock, or remove the listing temporarily?

Re: Penalized for no stock?
 

If you mean zeroing the inventory then that is the same as removing the listing.

With regards to stock levels on amazon you just need to make sure you are not cancelling orders because you do not have the stock. IF you do that then it will affect your metrics.

Easier way, rather than removing your listing, increase the selling price then you will sell nothing and then reduce the price when you want to start selling again. However DONT cancel orders

Take whatever steps needed to avoid looking like you have no stock.

New accounts do not need 'amazon' checking them

Good Luck

Kelly this site is full myth's but everybody believes them. We have a FBA account now doing over 100k per month, 4 month old and never had a review to my knowledge....

I have had only one review on 5 accounts that have been running for over 6 months grossing over $10,000 a month on each account. Keep the feedback high and the ODR down and it may never go under review. However, from what people are saying the amp up the reviews and suspensions/deletions around the Holidays. We shall see

But let's face it, if Amazon wanted to really make it hard for Stealth accounts they would lose millions if not billions of dollars.
