When is my account most likely going to hit a review?

[LittleLauien]

• It's a brand new account.
• Selling only brand new items.
• Individual account, not professional.
• Items are not electronics.
• Items would be nearly impossible to break while in transit.
• All items are only $0.99 + $3.99 shipping.

I don't plan on making a lot of money on this account. I've taken all precautions and have read Amazon Ghost.

I do plan to sell a lot of items, and I may go over the 40 items a month. 40 items x $5.00 is only $200. What would happen if I sold 100 items on the first month?

If I get all positive feedback, is Amazon still likely to force me into a review?

Never can be sure with Amazon - some accounts have had review only after months...some after couple of $ worth of sales -there is no coverall statement.

Well thank you for replying.

Would it help, if I bought some of those Amazon gift cards, made different buyer accounts, using TOR(for different IP addresses), bought my own items(or made it look like that), and gave myself good feedback?

I also have such a problem with customers that don't know how to give good feedback. Some will message me saying, "Good job. Perfect feedback from me", but not leave any feedback. It's kind of funny though, because they can't figure out the simplest thing.

I was hit with my first review pretty quick, it last a little longer than the 45 days, however I have disbursements since most over 5K, and have yet to be hit with a second review.

It could backfire badly. It has happened to others.

amazon may examine all accounts and see similarities.

Avoid that risk.

TOR is very dangerous for the account life - you should not be using this.

And dont do shill buying for feedback

You need to stop thinking about how to work the system in a way that is against Amazon's TOS. It can be done, but if you're asking these kind of questions, you won't be successful in your efforts. You can play within their bounds and still accomplish what you're trying to do...it will just take more patience, but the long game is definitely recommended with modern day Amazon.

Alright, so I'll just sell to other's and not worry about feedback. I've never had a problem with A-Z claims, or even returns, it's just that my customers rarely leave feedback. Maybe 1 in 10.

From what I've read on this forum, Amazon raises the velocity limit a little with each positive feedback. Is there a way to get my buyers to actually leave feedback, other than constantly asking?
