Are people having success with Stealth accounts on Amazon?

my4angels · #1 07-09-2014

Hi. I'm new to this forum and just bought the book Amazon Ghost. I'm reading various posts and wondering if anybody is having success with their stealth accounts? I just got my Amazon seller account suspended and am wondering if it's worth it to try and go stealth to get back up and running? Or is it just a waste of time because so many people seem to be having trouble with STILL getting shut down?

Any response on this would be helpful?

Hello, yes stealth in the US and Jp is still very successful as long as you follow the steps and be careful. Most people have problems as they don't understand how amazon actually works.

Stealth will not help you if you have a shoddy business plan. The same problems will resurface.

I plan on trying to do more Amazon FBA and some drop shipping items. I'm trying to learn all I can before opening up my new seller account.

Also heard we have a limit on how much we should be selling per month to keep under the radar. I had no idea about that! I guess $20,000 a week right out of the gate was a big no no.

Stealth works. However, it's just a means to get back on when you figure out why you got kicked off. See it as a second chance and try harder. Obviously it's a learning curve, eBay and amazon expects us to be marketing geniuses, have a PhD in customer service and know eBay policy inside out from day one. If you don't, you probably will get kicked off. But that's what stealth is for, it gives REAL people the chance to learn at a real rate, and have a second chance after making mistakes.

Until you establish the account, this amount might flag you.

You would have the chance of review sooner rather than later.

If you know why you got suspended first time, you should try to avoid that again.

Make sure you are a totally new you
Good Luck

FBA, there appears to be no limits, I have accounts that have sold 30k per month from the start and never hit a review.
