Today, we at Got Suspended are going to add a bit of dangerous flare to our topic by talking about review manipulations on Amazon. We’re doing this because we want you to be informed and not to play with fire. We already know what happens when you play with fire: Amazon account suspension! Here’s the gist of the deal: you offer money in exchange for a customer writing a positive review, or you bribe a customer into retracting a negative…
Sellers desire to have their career expanded with renewed vigor on Amazon, but many of them are kept in the dark about Amazon’s wild side, the one that keeps suspending its sellers. We have seen many cases when sellers panic because of Amazon’s notification coming as a bolt from the blue, after which they start writing an appeal and in the blink of an eye, it is ready. If you think that suspension is the worst scenario, then you are…

We are continuing to introduce you to different types of suspensions that you can come across with while operating on Amazon. Today, we are going to talk about “Used Sold as New” safety issues. In most cases, used-sold-as-new complaints are baseless, since the item is not used, but has a defective package or is damaged. However, according to Amazon’s rules, the item is considered to be used even in those cases when it is opened or returned. According to Amazon,…
Many Amazon sellers have been reported that Amazon allegedly no longer requires approvals for sellers who want to have more than one account on the platform. While Amazon has not made any official statements regarding this policy as of yet, its Code of Conduct has been changed and currently states that there is no need to get approval for having multiple accounts. Having multiple accounts has always been a conflicting topic on Amazon, with strict policies and regulations which sellers…

What is FBM? FBM is an operation model on Amazon. The abbreviation stands for Fulfilled by Merchant. Basically, it’s a model in which sellers receive products from supply chains, prep them on their own, and send them to their clients. It is a commonly used feature on Amazon. But why are we asking is it worth the risk? Well, for starters, when a seller fulfills the order, all the responsibility is on their shoulders. This means that if anything happens…
“Can I run multiple accounts on Amazon?” It’s a question that many sellers often ask us. The answer is: yes…and no. As with most cases on Amazon, there are lot of rules and regulations that sellers must follow if they wish to have multiple selling accounts on the platform. If you create multiple accounts without following Amazon’s policies, Amazon will detect that you are using multiple accounts (without following instructions), and your seller privileges can be temporarily deactivated, with all…
“Nope! Can’t sell that!” And here you thought Amazon would allow people to sell everything on its platform, right? Wrong! Records show that nearly 600 million products are being sold on Amazon. Even though the number is astronomical and seems like it could include anything, it doesn’t. Amazon has placed a lot of restrictions on what you can, or rather can’t, sell on its platform. Don’t jump the gun and try exploring Amazon Seller University. It’ll help you do everything…
Amazon, sweet Amazon. A place to start your business, to grow and develop. Ideally, this is how it works; unfortunately, we all know “in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.” When making headway, there are only a few sellers that are fully educated on Amazon policies and requirements, which means that many of us are oblivious towards its main wants and needs. Lack of information leads to world-famous Amazon suspensions, and now…
