How I Did 10K My First Month On Amazon And Was Then Placed On A Velocity Review For My Efforts

I am sharing this story so hopefully, nobody will have to go through what I did. Better to start out slow and grow into your account then explode the doors off like I did. I was an experienced eBayer and had also sold on Etsy for years. So I had a ton of listing experience and I was also pretty fast at new listings. I was linked to a drop shipping company and basically, they said to try to list as many items as you can and you will start making money right away. I listed about 1000 items my first month. It was close to Christmas and the sales starting rolling in. I was on top of the world, I was truly making great money and shipping was running smoothly and items were being delivered and BAM!!! My account was placed on what AMAZON calls a Velocity Review. Basically, they held all my money and said your funds will be dispersed once customers had received their items. So 2 weeks before Christmas they were holding my 8K ransom and it was supposed to be released on December 15th in which I was going to celebrate and buy some family and friends gifts. Needless to say, Amazon ruined my Christmas because I exceeded their expectations and growth limits. It took two more pay cycles to receive my funds, I was devastated too say the least. So grow slowly and consistent but not too fast. Best to check to see what the limits of sales are so you never have to go down this road. If this helps a few people, than I have done a great deed. :)
