New realities of going stealth
 

I would welcome some honest opinions about the realities of going stealth on Amazon at this time.

I've corresponded with a few people who stated that Amazon has beefed up their protocols to a point where going stealth won't likely work for much longer. I'm still very new to all of this, I've found the members of this forum helpful, and I would really welcome some informed opinions on this.

Has Amazon changed their protocols to sniff out stealth sellers? Is it still possible to go stealth?

It will always be possible to go stealth.

That's what this forum is all about. If you have read Ghost, then you know that what worked a few years ago, might not work now.

Just keep tweeking the rules, and we will get finding a work around. :hail:

True Stealth in the USA and japan is pretty easy. Europe the days have gone.

Thanks for sharing that.

Are the basics still the same?

New DBA or LLC bank account, new address, not listing same inventory, using a new computer (I Know the book didn't push for that but I already did it), slows and steady wins the race... are those steps still valid?

Steps are valid but your inventory will be key in determining life of the account - selling risky items?

My account just got suspended 2 weeks ago and still no response with the appeal. I assume that account is probably closed for good. How do we get around the part of opening up a new account with a social security number when my REAL one is already used on the suspended account? Do we have to get a new LLC for each additional Amazon Seller Account? With the chances of it closing in a week again, that could get pricey? But is that what people do? Some help will be much appreciated. I got the ebook Amazon Ghost, but it does not talk about the social security part.
