Sellers like you offered their best advice about selling on Amazon
We recently asked you to share the best advice you received from a fellow selling partner and hundreds of you replied on our Forums Sweepstakes Seller discussion.
Here are some of your responses:
- "I've been a retailer on Amazon since 2009. I realized that if you provide value to customers, you can sell anything. It's that simple."
- "Always check account health. Make it a two-times-a-day routine so problems don't pile up. A healthy account means more than you think, so keep that score high and minimize any potential issues."
- "Being an Amazon seller for last 15 years, Seller Forums is a go-to place when I'm stuck on an issue or need more understanding on a topic. It's comforting to know that you're not the only one stuck or trying to keep afloat. I get new learnings, both small and big, every time I'm in Seller Forums."
- "This was my first back-to-school season and I took a chance on sending backpacks in mid-August. I kept hearing from other sellers to merchant fulfill them. I'm glad I took the chance. To my surprise, they sold as soon as they arrived. I'm excited to kill back to school, next year, with everything I learned this year."
Our next sweepstakes will be in November and we look forward to your submissions then.
You can still share the best advice you've ever received from another seller or share your own best advice at the Forums Sweepstakes Seller discussion.

Or:
* If you poach an ASIN, you can sell anything, even the thing that isn't at that ASIN
* To keep your account health high, appease buyers who are intentionally ripping you off, with no recourse whatsoever. Your choices are to do the right thing and lose sales due to damaged account health, or cave to unreasonable demands by both Amazon and buyers (often in the form of a set of false choices).
* I've been a seller for almost 15 years, and have found that as Amazon starves support of funding, and continues to shift to overseas keyboard punching monkeys, I have to rely more and more on other sellers to help me navigate Amazon's many bugs and inequities.
* Sending in inventory IS "taking a chance." It could get stranded, charged for being too much or too little or not sent to enough places, a black-hat seller could crater your listing, Amazon could request invoices and then use that to source directly at which point your sales will plummet, you could be falsely charged with IP violations freezing your income and destroying your inventory, etc. etc. Yes, sometimes gambles pay off, which is why there are so many tourists in Vegas, but I'd rather not play at a rigged casino for a living.
There, I fixed it.

This is a complete pile of crap, even worse than what politicians say. Amazon should own its ugly Seller Support, the way it requires two clicks from a buyer before he gets past Amazon's own offer, and its incomprehensible requirement that many used books require the original publisher before listing. Get you head out of the sand, Amazon!
