I haven't had a review in 9 months now probably, but I always just wait until all orders when my review was initiated are DELIVERED and then appeal saying "I just wanted to wait to appeal until you could see that all of my items since the review started have been delivered and many have even left feedback. I have 100% feedback with 100 seller rating and 0 ODRs - I'd be happy to answer any questions you have for me about my business via email or phone, but I really do need to get paid in order to be able to afford to buy new inventory. Please contact me as soon as you can so we can talk about what you need to get my account approved."

They never call or email and they just approve.

Lmao damnn you're good. But on the flip side, when ebay linked my second ebay with my first suspended account. Mind you I was using the same IP just different address, variant name, bank account and debit card. No knowledge of stealth or even this site.

After 3 months, they restrict my account and told me straight out that they linked me to a suspended account. Giving me the options to call them to explain to them if I knew of that account.

Maybe I could've gotten away if I just told them. " Maybe that m'fer is stealing my internet and no clue on who that is " LOL and never use that suspended account on my comp again. Haha we live and learn.

Seems they weren't even sure if it was the same person but I was being too honest with them and explain that I was just about to call them too about reinstating my old account. Which I was going to also.

The ebay rep was really cool about it and told me he wished he could help me but review board made a final decision many months ago. Never gave me a chance. I figure it final because ebay likes money and they are just a middle man, sold one item to beta test the site. The rest is history.

After 90 days from my experience you will not get linked if you list your entire stock again.

It seems if you get good feedback to start and they do an account review, they leave you alone. My client has a seller from China that had about 50 perfect feedback, then went ahead and started selling counterfeits and he has tons of counterfeit reviews and SP has yet to shut him down in over a week. LOL.

1) Sell a few items at a great price initially. You'll sell immediately and those people are also more likely to leave you feedback since they feel guilty/got a great deal.

2) Send a message telling them because you're brand new and want to make sure everything goes perfectly, you're upgrading their shipping to 2nd Day Priority Mail (it's 2 days almost anywhere in the country, look up their zip code first). Tell them Amazon said because you're new, you need to get buyers to vouch for you. Tell them they're you're only buyer so far (tell everyone this until you get your first feedback). Say "your item should arrive on Wednesday, the only thing, if you could just go to amazon.com/feedback" for me...

3) If they haven't left a feedback within 2 or 3 days of receiving the item, tell them "Hey buyer, Amazon is doing what they call a "new account review" and I guess they want to make sure that anything that sells is actually getting delivered. You're the only person I've talked to so far here, if you could tell them that it got delivered - it's just a "star" rating at amazon.com/feedback

4) Once you've sold $600 or $700ish of stuff, don't keep adding inventory - wait until buyers leave you at least 3 feedbacks before continuing. I will message buyers sometimes 3-4 times and just respectfully say something like "Hey buyer, I know you're super busy and I wouldn't want to interrupt again, but Amazon says they only need a feedback to release my account since I'm brand new.. it would help me so much if you could just let them know you got it at amazon.com/feedback. If you don't have the time, I understand - but if you do get a chance I'd really appreciate you doing that for me. ~Amanda~"

I do the above well before I ever get reviewed. Then I switch it up a little bit after I get my first feedback, then I switch it up a little when I get to 10. I have automated messages sent out after 10. I sell to 200 and $20k on each account within 3-4 months using this method with no account reviews.

I get about 50-60% of my first 4-6 buyers to leave feedback by using the above idea. You'd think being pushy like that would get you the occasional bad feedback or Amazon slap, but over 1000 feedbacks on my accounts and still no issues...

I also get around 30-40% of my total buyers to leave feedback, so by 100 sales - I have enough feedback to be very trustworthy. You get more sales the higher number of feedbacks you have. If you keep your accounts for years, the ones that get over 100 feedbacks will have tons more sales (I often list on the SAME items with my big accounts against my new accounts for 20% higher prices and they sell MORE).

I also am always a woman in my accounts since Amazon never calls and generally women are seen as more approachable and naive in business/online so you can include smiley faces and ask for sympathy without being judged (just what I've noticed - I did a little study with 10 different accounts and women get 1.5x as much feedback and less issues with returns too).

Lots of little experiments I've done to try to figure out the best way to approach customer service and sales on Amazon in general (who would've thought that you can price 20-30% higher when you have 100 feedbacks and still get orders??). My two accounts per item (for the high selling ones) means I get the low price people AND the high service oriented people.

Anyway, just some thoughts about how to keep accounts for a long time and avoid reviews (as long as you don't get linked obviously).
