Relisting on prior listings..
 

I have 5-10 listings that I created on a prior banned account. I am typically the only seller on these listings as I I've created them. They rank very high in the google organic search results so I would love to have the ability to offer the item using a new ghost account.

How risky is it to hop back on a listing that I created from a prior banned account that I was the only seller on? If I use a 10/1 dummy listing ratio is that safe?

Any suggestions or experience is greatly app record. I recall the ghost guide when I read it said to do a 5/1 ratio...

Because you are the only one who selling them. The account got suspended and another new seller try to sell them. Doesn't matter if you list them 50:1 ratio, it's high change to get link.

For now, you should make like 10 account and just list 1 old list per account.

Next time when you create new listing. Make more account selling the same item with different account, so when 1 down you still have other take over right away

Thanks for the good suggestions. One idea I had was to create a variation of these listings that I was the only seller on...Not sure if that helps prevent linkage...

Sucks that google had these listings organically indexed so good and I cant take advantage of it...It is a huge traffic driver..

Re: Relisting on prior listings..
 

I was wondering the same thing. Could I just make a new variation of my old listing or will that raise red flags with amazon?

This is not true.

If you list with a 50:1 ratio you will be absolutely fine. Amazon will not,link you because you are the only one selling on a listing and I have sold on many listings from previous accounts with no problem.

Just make sure the ratio is around 10:1. Nobody knows exactly what it is but 10:1 will be more than sufficient.

How would you go about with a new variation - ideas?

Just change up title, description, photos, and bullet points.....

What do you guys mean by these ratios?

Re: Relisting on prior listings..
 

I believe (please correct me if I am wrong) that you can "associate" a new listing with a previous listing. Then your new "variation" would show up on this "new" listing.

I have a background in SEO and we all know that Google LOVES Amazon and their ever changing and expanding content. The problem I have discovered is if Google Indexes an Amazon page with the title "Widget 123 ABC" most likely when you create your new Amazon listing page, google will index it, detect that there is a similar page already indexed and give relevance to that "other" page.

Amazon DO link people for listing the same items as previously Suspended accounts. If you list 100% of the same stuff then you more than likely will get linked.

However if you mix it with new listings then you can normally get away with it.

So the ratios refer to the amount of new stuff you should list to every listing you previously sold.

Eg 10 new lines for every old one.

Re: Relisting on prior listings..
 

Has anyone considered Amazon links by sales as well?

If you had 1000:1 ratio but none of these dummy listings actually sell anything and you are only selling the same asin as the suspended account would this not draw attention?

Do you not think Amazon realizes people do this and that they also look what is selling in your account?

Re: Relisting on prior listings..
 

So, you guys are suggesting for him to list as the only seller of an item that he created with a suspended account? I don't see how that could ever be a good idea. Account gets suspended, then another listing for the same item pops up from (assuming) the same area code? Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't see that I would ever take that risk
