Anyone tried to sell via Amazon.com?

Hi:
I didnt really get Suspended, I think they call it a 'Review", where when you are a new seller, when a Certain dollar volume hits, they do this--kinda like the pp Limitation..
But it all worked out.. I do have a very hard time in convincing buyers to lv fb in amazon...

his a high school kid, what do you expect :P

[thelizardking]

So ive been told

[Ballsack]

Does amazon force you to use their payment system when you sell on their site?

[thelizardking]

Yeah but you can refund and have them use something else

[djmuggs]

okay well, you didnt really explain it at all. you just said, " i made a new account, sold $1000 in a day.. and i got suspended.. WHAT DID I DO??"


lol

What did you need to do to lift the limitation, so I can have my ducks in a row when it happens

Nice. If you have a google checkout then amazon may be the right place for you. But do you get a person's email when they order from you? Also does signing mean you have to verify a bank account with amazon in order to sell?

[thelizardking]

They told me suspension is permanent.

Ballsack-I couldn't find email addressess but you can message them thru Amazon (like ebay), what I did was refund them send them a very short message like "I refunded your purchase please send a direct email to blahblah@gmail.com if you have any questions" then they email you directly and you can communicate that way. And yes you have to have a bank account but your first payout doesn't happen till 14 days after you get your first sale then after that you can withdrawal once a day..

Also..I tried setting up a new Amazon account like I would a new ebay and they linked me somehow...im gonna try again though on my work computer and see if it works..

[Ballsack]

Oh I thought you only get paid every two weeks thru Amazon. The only issue I have a problem with is the 5 percent fee.

Not sure how you're getting linked though. If you delete your cookies and change your ip you should be safe. I would get so pissed off if I had to obtain another bank account to sell on there. Not so bad for ppl who have local accounts but I tend to use the ones online.

[Ballsack]

Holy ****. I just listed something on Amazon and they want a whopping 16 percent give or take on FVFs. What kind of insanity is this? I'm shocked they cancelled your account. They could have made a small mint off of you.

[thelizardking]

Yeah I made a little over $1,300 all together and they made like $210 in fees (16%), they still get that money tho...but I don't get mine till late August...*******s

[Ballsack]

But if you refund the buyer and tell them to use google then there's no commission right? The only problem I could see with that is the buyer will simply refuse to pay that way. You'll lose alot of buyers. It happens on ebay all the time.

[thelizardking]

Yeah they lose the commission...ive had people say no to Google, but ive never had someone say no to Ccnow/Paypal...

[djmuggs]

yeah ive sold some dvds and the bose earphones on amazon.. but the 16% fees are ridiculous. but the way you get paid through amazon is also pretty stupid. you have to either dump the entire amount of money in your amazon account into your verified bank account, or not take any out at all. and its a max of once in every 24 hours. their feedback system is very vague as well.. not a fan of amazon, but good to get rid of inventory

I am surprised ppl actually email you back. Maybe ppl who use amazon have a different attitude towards purchases on there. I'm used to getting ignored at least half the time by ebay bidders.

Yeah unfortunately I don't trust any online payment system that holds my money for 2 weeks before depositing it into my bank account.

Doesn't Amazon require a Driver's License in order to sell?

Amazon uses Flash cookies so it's possible they are linking ppl that way.
