How long to wait to start listing on Amazon?

flipper · #1 11-29-2010

After opening a Amazon seller account how long should I wait before I start listing items for sale. And of course when I do start listing I will list just a few things at a time. I read somewhere I should wait 15 days. Is that true?

15 days if u want to withdraw immediately after you make a sale and confirm it shipped.

Whenever I start a new amazon account, I have an item up for sell immediately. With new user account and IP address I go to amazon and click on "Have item to sell' and then click on links like how to ship, etc just like a new user should. I sell the item, list 1 or 2 more, then postives should start appearing on feedback.

I don't really wait - start blasting and if it lasts, good - if not, 90 days - I can wait.

Would that be the max time they make you wait before giving you your money?

My Amazon.ca account is under review, and I don't think it's going to end well :P

yea 90 days,and the good thing is you can use a suspended bank acct to withdraw after the 90 days are up.Some people never withdraw and run through there limits in 2-3 days and wait the 90 days so they dont have to use a fresh bank acct

I list immediately, get banned in a week or two then move on. Will get paid in 90 days :D

I list immediately. The way I see it is if you make a sellers account why wait to start selling? Thats kinda suspicious no?

@Hrad, how is your success on amazon.ca?

Haven't tried that - any good?

It's alright, about 1/10 the traffic of ebay.com (at least for electronics)

Ah ok - 1/10th better than nothing but at least you make sales so that's good.

I'm so glad amazon isn't NEAR like Paypal because I'm fine with waiting for 90 days for the money. HALF A YEAR!!! now that is a different scenario.
