Amazon is pretty simple

[Amazombie]

I believe amazon has weekly and daily velocity limits for new sellers less than 30 days. Daily limits at least for the 1st 14 days.

I have had new accts. closed down which sold more than $500 within a week and also closed in a day if more than $150 to $200 (less than 14 dy accts.).

I just had a 1 1/2 month old acct reviewed for one $90 sale. Thats all the acct has ever done is one single sale -- .

I have 2 that are supposed to come off reviews in the next 2 days.

(fingers crossed)

Good luck. Amazon is too anal about kicking off people who represent even the slightest risk to their reputation. On the other hand, their large gains vs say eBay seem to indicate that buyers like it.

i'll send em tracking numbers and some other 'info'. :D

so just curious, do you advise starting the new account as a "pro merchant" right away? Or should you wait a month or 2?

I would still like the post above to be answered but I have a new question to add to it. If I sell particular items that are slightly rare and that I get to sell quite often, is that going to be a dead give away to amazon forever, or will I eventually be able to sell those items again? They are steady profits for me as i've done long research to weed out some quality products that I can get for cheap and sell for more. Maybe, is there a sales ranking # we shouldnt go past with our listings or something?

- I would wait at least 30 days for a pro merchant acct. since doing so may set off the amazon alarm.

- I don't think forever but at least for the 1st 30 days. It is better to have separate stealth accts. for each of ur common items u sell than to risk putting all of them under one acct. & getting banned.

U can PM me if u have more questions.
