@MMS @Grizzly

Any recommendations/tips on how you guys go about getting/who you use for custom product packaging if not the supplier themselves?

We did a RFQ for packaging once we had an idea for what we wanted.

Be wary. Many packaging companies want substantially higher order quantities than typical goods.

How long after being eligible for reconciliation do they fix the issue?

I'm scheduled for the 11th and my card is scheduled to be charged the 13th

The idiots still have not fixed the minor issue and i guess are waiting last minute. Even if its all fixed on the 11th im gonna call them and try to force them to push back the payment day because its fukked up that im gonna be charged two days after and ive been waiting almost like weeks for my products to go live

This is why i gotta focus on CPA. Amazon is so full of shyt man

Account got suspended yesterday. I emailed them today asking them to reinstate it. They claimed it was some vague issue about a "credit card issue"

See breh this is why i told you i got no respect for this shytty ass company. Like i said in my email response to them all my products were book so they can't complain about it being an issue over counterfeit. Plus they were used. i didn't try to sell any used books as "New".

Of course they suspend the account after i make two orders with one of the orders already scheduled to be sent in for shipping. I make barely a couple dollars on that but shytty Amazon gets their money while suspending my account

Such a horrible company and i wish nothing but the harshest karma for Bezos. I gotta be stuck here with my account overdrawn right now

I'm gonna try to get my card positive now and focus on Clickbank and AdworkMedia and use GoogleAdWords to run that. I have heard of Adwords being strict about shutting down campaigns but heard if you make a landing page through Clickfunnel that wont happen. So ill do that and focus on Clickbank and promote mainly their health/fitness offers. They especially can be counted on cause they have a more reputable reputation for about 20 years and pay weekly. Not like Amazon paying biweekly and even holding onto the money for a couple days after

shytty ass company. You got no idea how heated i am right now. Antisocial ass Bezos making robots run his whole company and make all these dumb decisions

I just got permission to open a second account from Amazon. I'm going to use this as a journey to help people out as if I were a newbie. I took my current April's earnings from Amazon MTurk to fund this. I found a good product from an authorized distributor that I've never done business with. The purchase prices is just under $8 and it's been selling historically for $39.99 on the Buy Box. It's currently brand gated for most people. ;)

Funding From Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk):

April Costs:
  • Amazon Pro Seller Account - $39.99
  • Keepa Premium - €15/$16.95
  • Ungate Restricted Brand - $100 Fee + 10x$8/item = $180 (the actual price per item is slightly lower)
Ungating Invoice:

Keepa Subscription:

I just submitted it to Amazon. Once I'm approved, I'll put in my order for 151 of those items for $1208 for a total of 161 items. I'll calculate freight inside of Seller Central. I will have one shipped to me as the current stock photos suck. I can take better photos with the camera on my phone.

I'm going to set aside a $600/month-$20/day PPC budget for this product to get sales and raise BSR (Best Seller Rank).

How did you go about requesting and getting permission to open a second account?

Well, you have to have a good selling history with good account health. Create a case id detailing why you need another account. You need a different email, bank account and can't sell the same products on both or more accounts. I went a step further and created a new single member LLC for the second account by gettting an EIN from Uncle Sam. Wait until you get the OK from Amazon before you create an account.

Ungated for the brand in less than 10 minutes.

Is shopify the only site that promotes dropshipping? Ebay & Amazon don't play that shyt and I ain't about to take no risks with them again.

Pretty much. Usually the problem stems from backorders, product not as described, not doing proper research on selecting your dropshipper or not having a means to automate sales/orders/delivery.

Wholesale Dropshippers Directory

Ignore the "Featured Sellers". They paid for the spot.

Look for the "dropshippers welcomed","no minimums" & "no MOQ. If they have a phone number, call them and ask questions. US only.

Minor bump:

:( I can't split the shipment for an individual item. That's not going to stop me though. I'll send an affiliate link and money to my brother to purchase one to ship when my listing goes live. After I'm done with the pics, I'll give the item to my mom as she likes items like it.

Amazon suspended my account for bullshyt reasons before and I got them to reinstate it. Two things: 1.) Only talk to supervisors. Entry level customer support won't be able to do shyt for you. 2.) Phone only. Email just makes it easier for them to brush you off. They can't handle a real nikka barking on they ass in realtime. Keep blowing that customer service line up until you get what you want.
