Selling limits
 

Bout to list my first item on my stealth Amazon account. Do they trip up like eBay/PayPal do if you list expensive and or high risk items right away? Should I slowly build up by selling some old junk around the house first? And how much can I even sell right now, I don't see a limit anywhere like eBay shows you?

LOL, Read that one wrong.....

Re: Selling limits
 

Amazon does not have limits in the same way that eBay does

They limit the categories you can list in until you get pre-approved

Really worth putting in a few hours / days reading about how it works.

Re: Selling limits
 

They have the limit, but it is hidden and nobody know for sure how much is it. In the past we sell under $750 for the first month to stay under the radar, but it seems it is no longer correct now, Amazon can trigger a review and 28 days money rolling on your account even if you just made only $100 sale.

Hmm good to know, I'll be careful for my initial sales.

Re: Selling limits
 

Treat it like ebay. avoid high risk items to start with etc.

Re: Selling limits
 

Some categories will get a review on first sale and hold funds until the review is over or give you a 28 day rolling reserve. Amazon is a lot more strict in many ways then ebay.

Re: Selling limits
 

What exactly does a review entail? If a stealth get's reviewed can that mean trouble?

Re: Selling limits
 

A review is a lot of things but mostly they want to see that you ship quickly, upload tracking, reply instantly to questions and professionally, how you handle returns and complaints so on and so fourth.

Re: Selling limits
 

Review means amazon at looking at you.

Try to be squeaky clean and do not think they BS like ebay... They can be worse.

Read that several times.

Also, ASK on here before doing anything you are not 100% sure is correct.

Steady, carefully is the way to start selling.

Best Wishes.

One of our UK accounts was just suspended for selling about 1800 in the first week. It was not a rolling reserve placed it was an actual suspension until we can show proof items are being delivered and feedback is being left. In the past we have had rolling reserves placed on the account but this time our selling privileges were removed.

Re: Selling limits
 

Were they the exact same items sold as the previous accounts? Easy to link both accounts?

Re: Selling limits
 

Sounds like a velocity limit exceedance. With no feedback I try to sell within $500 for the 28 day rolling period.
