got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

From India opened amazon.com account to sell in US market (international acc)

The first sign up:
Everything orginal ip + cc + Name etc, my first account on amazon.com

uploaded 50 books

Got 7 orders in FIRST 2 days time. Got suspended 3rd day

All orders were of particularly of 1 book which is a best seller and 1 order was from some random book out of 50 books uploaded.
Org price of this book which sold 6 copies is $70, Amazon fulfilment sell at $53, other sellers selling at $23-$53

I sold at $16.50 and starting playing with one of the competitor and sold one book at $7 in enthusiasm. And then I brought back to $16.50 and sold one more peice as 7th order.


As said above next day (3rd day) I got suspended,
now in reply they asked me receipts/invoices from the source and address phone no. of source.

I was not able to send the invoices as my vendor who is getting from publisher could not furnish any invoices, he is also a seller and has amazon id he is actually my supplier and he takes from publisher at a very low cost say $7.

okay so I have to send something, In reply I sent only 1 invoice which was a random book sold. genuine bill was sent to amazon

I got another message from amazon saying:
----------------------------------------------------
Upon careful consideration, we have decided not to reinstate your selling privileges.

Any remaining funds may be reserved for up to 90 days from the date your selling privileges were removed. After 90 days, the funds will be disbursed, provided we do not receive charge-backs or A-to-z Guarantee claims against your sales.
----------------------------------------------------

Please note I have sent the 7 orders in time.

Do you think I can still get back my account if I send them 7 receipts from the source which is very hard to get but I will try get from the middleman and from supplier.?

What is the cause they have suspended?

Why they arent releasing my account?

Did I made a mistake of upload 50 books?

please slap me on my face with your replies. :deadhorse: with whats the nest step?

I am sorry I am newbie if I made any mistake in above and neither I have any money to by aspkin amazon book (surely later i will)

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Amazon assume you are selling counterfeit product due to your low price and being a new seller. This is why they ask for the invoices. Just remember amazon don't need to prove you are selling counterfeit, they know prices of products and if its to to low they will make the assumption its counterfeit. Also remember amazon don't need you and don't need the risk of a seller selling counterfeit products so they just say bye bye.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Are the books you sell genuine?

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

May not matter if amazon dislike the MO of the seller....

:deadhorse:

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Makes no difference, if amazon suspect they are ⊗⊗⊗⊗ then bye bye

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

This doesn't sound like it was suspended for selling phakes.

Sorry if I've got this wrong but you said you sold 7 books at $16.50 in your first three days? That's way too much to be putting through on a new account and although there's no way of knowing I'd guess this is the reason you got suspended. Guess you had 0 feedback too?

Second thing is you say you had 3 previous accounts. Of those 50 books you uploaded are the same as what you sold on the other accounts this could be the reason although they normally tell you if you've been linked.

Books are not high risk. They ask for invoices to see if you actually have the stock and can keep up with demand. Although putting that much money through probably set off every warning they had for a potential scammer and i doubt you'd get the account back even if you did have the invoices.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Welcoem to the forums OP - all the best as you learn stealth. Take time to read about Amazon - your questions can be answered by understanding the platform better. All the best

// Yes it does not sound, 100% genuine. Already sent to customers and in time

// $7-$16.50 sold 6 books (1 particular book), 7th book was randon from 50 total books uploaded

Second thing is you say you had 3 previous accounts. Of those 50 books you uploaded are the same as what you sold on the other accounts this could be the reason although they normally tell you if you've been linked.
// Sorry this is my first sign up everything genuine

// Thanks for the hope, I am trying to get hold of the invoices and send all to them. I just sent 1 book invoice (the 7th book which was random out of 50 books)

Thanks a ton

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

nst: you have not given the reason for suspension, what reason did amazon give you.

Barry: 7 sales in 3 days to much, absolute rubbish. I have a new US account which sold $5k plus in 30 days, no review, no rolling reserve. However this was a FBA account.

This account will have closed for selling counterfeit, all other sellers are selling between $23 and $53 and he a new seller sells the same book for $16.50 and then one at $7.00. Common sense really.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Once you dump the price you will be marked as selling phakes
no one likes dumpers

First Timer!!

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Can you seriously give it a rest. You are spouting rubbish as usual.

You said you use fba. FBA is a completely different ball game when it comes to turnover and velocity reviews. Highly unlikely you hit 5k in one month with no feedback and You were sending out the product yourself. But this is where you usually make things up, so feel free.

Over 100-200 dollars in the first few days of an account is too much. Add that much Money without any feedback and probably from a country outside of the USA and this will set off all kinds of red flags.

OP has also has provided the email Amazon sent and if it was for selling phakes then they tell you in the email. Again basic stuff.

Edit: I didn't see that you admitted to using FBA so that example is completely irrelevant. At one point you could do virtually unlimited amounts on a new account using FBA. It's now possible to get a review but 5k on a new FBA accounts is nothing. So now you have kindly proven you know very little on this subject can you please stop giving out terrible information.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Now you have shown once again you know very little on these subjects can you try and stop giving out inaccurate and made up advice?

Knowing the difference between selling limits using FBA and selling limits sending things out yourself is absolute basic stuff and should clear up things once and for all.

I don't even want to be getting into these arguments but I know first hand people read these threads years later and your advice is at best going to confuse people and at worst going to get people banned like listening to your advice here would.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

BARRY, Again you say an account will get suspended if 7 items are sold in 3 days on low risk items (as you say books are) is utter rubbish sorry. Th OP has given no reason for his suspension. If you sell so far below cost you will get suspended for selling counterfeit. You have you views and I have mine after selling for over 10 years on amazon.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

best way to test this is to make another account and do FBA 100% sell same items same price see what happens. I recently got an account suspended for HIGH PROBABILITY OF SELLING COUNTERFEIT ITEMS. I sold some items below wholesale to get rid of them and got suspended cause of it..

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

YES Gamefreak, this is what happens, amazon have a rough idea of cost and if you are below these prices and a newish account you will be suspended for selling possible counterfeit goods.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

OP must be selling international version

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

You are making things up as you go along.

Amazon tell you when you get suspended for selling phakes and I have never ever seen anyone suspended for selling at a lower price.

You've already shown you know nothing about this subject comparing FBA to sending them out yourself and instead of bowing out you are making more things up? Crazy

200 dollars in 2-3 days with no feedback is way too much and will set off a velocity review. Again this is absolute basics.

Yet your only knowledge or evidence is from yourself selling through FBA? Which as everybody knows (except you) is completely different. Again, absolute basics

Another thing you don't understand but this has nothing to do with the products being high risk. It's the account being high risk. No feedback, Foreign country, high sales and that's it. Again common sense. This was called the run and gun method and it's no longer viable for this exact reason.

Seriously, in 5 years on these forums I've never seen anyone make so much stuff up.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

now I am going to send the invoices and see if something could be done as I want my original account still be an ACTIVE one.

thank you guys for a discussion.

I am now opening up an account with VCC + Strong VPN
but confused with verified address of US and then how I will transfer funds to India?

Is this scenrio feasible?

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

BARRY, amazon assume you are selling counterfeit if the price is to low and then suspend you for allegedly selling counterfeit, common knowledge. The OP has not stated the reason for his suspension which again you have over looked. Just look up posts and you will "gamefreak" who had this same issue and by his standing on this forum has more knowledge than you little you was suspended for the same reason.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

If amazon have said they no longer want you on the site as you have stated you have no chance of getting the account reopened. But I guess Barry will say you have. Maybe a few PM's between you and Barry and he will help you than you can report back.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

There has not been one case on these forums or several others that I follow of anyone being suspended for lowering their price. What does happen is Amazon Sends you an email and sometimes they suspend the listing of they notice the price is off. That's it and it's intended to help the seller. I think this is where your getting confused.

Can you imagine someone trying to get rid of stock at cost or lower and then getting their account suspended? More ridiculous guesses and confusion from you. Can you give any evidence about this or did another friend from the phillipines imaginary data centre tell you?

Again it is common knowledge that Amazon send you an email tellingg you that it was because of phakes. Since they didn't here that is not the reason. Just for you ive included what the email for selling phakes looks like.

"You have violated our policies by offering items on our site that may be counterfeit. As a result, you are temporarily unable to sell on any Amazon platform and a hold has been placed on funds from your Amazon sales. We encourage you to resolve any pending orders.

Our policies prohibit any item that has been illegally replicated, reproduced, or manufactured"


Anyway onto actually helping NST

If you have a chance to appeal then you can still get back on the site. I have about an 80% success rate with appeals.

After looking at your helpful screenshots nst then this looks like is a review to check you have the stock you are selling

Edit: Sorry I didn't see that last screen shot. Once you have failed an appeal then that's pretty much it. You might as well start again as its not worth fighting it on a brand new account.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Well NST has given no reason for his suspension. Amazon do not suspend you for lowering prices, I have never said this. They suspend you for allegedly selling counterfeit due to the price being to low. Again you have not read the post further back in this link by "gamefreak"

Again are you are reading the posts, he has stated earlier that his appeal was rejected the by amazon.

And NST is I guess sending you screen shots and you cannot even see them or read them.

Barry, no more late nights, you must so tired for school in the morning.

By the way, Philippines is a call centre, Singapore is the data centre. I bet you are failing in English Lit....

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

I give up. I've shown proof where as you show nothing as per usual. Well except your friend in the phillipines.

Just remember folks.

This is the guy who said he knows for a fact Amazon send out there customer service staff to the phillipines to deal with UK and Europe customer services. And that he's been there. Which is quite possibly the most ridiculous line I've ever seen.

I did check and I couldn't even find a customer service centre in the phillipines for amazon (there might be). According to Amazon jobs it's actually outsourced to India or the country that is applicable, but hey. I guess you sat down with Steve jobs and had a coffee whilst you were there too.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Barry never met Steve Jobs RIP. Pretty sick that actually.

Still you cannot read, I said amazon deploy staff from around the world to set up these centres. Not send a tele-sales person from the UK to do the job.

Try using something called "google" all the info you want is there or even search the amazon sellers forums, lots of info there, thats if you actually have an amazon account.

Take care Barry and don't be late for school in the morning.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

and my final say, what proof has you showed the forum, you only seem to answer questions that you can and ignore ones you cannot. You seem to one of these children who does not listen to others and only listen and believes there own story. amen

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

You said and it's still there that amazons UK and EU advanced escalations team are in the phillipines because your friend from the phillipines has told you. Quite possibly the most BS I've ever read on here, which really is saying something

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

What question have I not answered? You're the one who avoids everything and then makes up ridiculous stories?

The proof was the email that everyone knows you get for selling phakes. Well everyone but you knows it.

I do listen to others but I'm not going to,listen to someone who's constantly caught out lying and making things up.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

No what I said was e mails are filtered in the Philippines and relevant ones passed to the escalations team. Please read again. Barry its 3am in the UK, are you actually in the UK......

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Everyone knows that e mail, please read the posts again the reason some people get that e mail. Please consult with the more experienced "gamefreak" who has the same issues as I have said. Also what was the reason the guy from India was suspended, please enlighten the form as you have exchanged various PM's.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Here is what you said

You seem very patronising that someone in the Philippines cannot answer these questions, management is mainly US,UK and German staff deployed by amazon. Perhaps you assume its a little 4ft 10in Filipino who live in a wooden hut. The centre is huge and I would say bigger than Slough employing over 1000 well spoken Filipino who answer most of the calls and emails for amazon.

Are you a goldfish because you have the memory of one

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Are you actually losing the plot here? He posted the screenshots for everyone to see. Ironic you keep saying I don't read the posts and you've missed him posting 3 files for everyone to look at.

Seems ur a bit jealous of the private messages. Don't worry, I can send you some if you're feeling lonely.

You said gamefreak had the same issues you had? So got suspended for lowering the price? Any proof of this?

It's fairly obvious why he was suspended and it's blatantly obvious it wasn't for phakes but carry on. You keep digging this hole from the phillipines your going to end up in Slough having a coffee with ur best mate Chris North

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Where in that did I say customer service/tele-sales staff, I said management. Can you read and understand English as it appears you cannot. Management means a Boss. They manage people.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Really?? Really? You can't. Be this stupid.

Saying they answer most of the calls and emails for Amazon is not suggesting they are customer service staff? ok I give up. Truly. You've just jumped the shark.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Post 15 in this thread, Guess you cannot read

best way to test this is to make another account and do FBA 100% sell same items same price see what happens. I recently got an account suspended for HIGH PROBABILITY OF SELLING COUNTERFEIT ITEMS. I sold some items below wholesale to get rid of them and got suspended cause of it..

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

So have you got the email that tells you you were suspended for high probability of selling counterfeit items? I'd love to see it.

Also didn't you say you've lost one account in 4 years yesterday? In the space of half an hour tonight you've admitted to losing 3. How many more bodies are you hiding under the floorboards?

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

What can't i read?

One person guessing it happened to them is not proof? You might want to use google to look up what the word means. I feel like I should be charging you for English lessons as well as Amazon lessons. As the worlds 10th richest man I'm sure you can afford it.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Where have I said I lost 3 accounts...your going crazy son, where did I say I have received that e mail for selling counterfeit, I said I have seen that e mail. Barry, ITS 3.21AM IN THE UK AND YOU ARE ON A FORUM REGARDING E BAY/AMAZON SUSPENSION. ALL I CAN SAY YOU ARE PRETTY SAD INDIVIDUAL. YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE. Its 10.22 am and I am sat in the garden drinking a nice cup of Earl Grey. Some people get it right and other get it wrong.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

Where is "guessing" now you are insulting and criticising another member of this forum "Gamefreak" for his information.

Re: got suspended by amazon on 3rd day, my first account story
 

You said you lost two accounts in another thread because of the bank account. Add that to the one you said you just lost here for lowering the price and that with my maths equals 3. but now you are denying it great. We will add that to the rest of your lies. You're either a compulsive liar or you have a terrible memory.

How is saying someone Is guessing an insult. I'm more than happy to be proved wrong. Unless they have proof, they are guessing aren't they? As apposed to you who just lies.

Seriously, how can you keep going after I'm using your own words to prove you are lying?

I think you need to start Tipping your phillipino masseuse a bit more as it's obviously not releaving this tension you get from being wrong all the time.
