> [@Pepper\_Thine\_Angus](#): > > Responded to and helped are two different things. so very true. It always cracks me up when I get a notification that a mod has responded to one of my posts or mentioned me, and the post in question is well over a week old. I am always tempted to respond “took ya long enough.” Most of the time they aren’t providing any info and just asking if my suggestion worked. ---

Actually looked at the forums tonight – and guess what…we got promoted…we can now answer newbie questions. Hooray . I probably will answer a few here and there. Not on nearly as much as with the old forums where you could PM another seller and bookmark threads. ---

I couldn’t get to this forum at all. Even googling and clicking on that link didn’t work. At last I edited my book mark to remove everything after the .com and made it back. Yesterday I could not get past the little colored balls endlessly playing together. ---

Yup…still learning things. I do notice on the NSFE that questions from all country selling sites seem to be bunched together. In the past I wouldn’t presume to answer a shipping question from someone not selling in the US on the .com site because we don’t sell internationally. ---

It’s a strange ‘global community’ for Amazon. I have been ‘educated’ by a MOD that what happens with suspensions for accounts is actually different for other countries. I had posted that if one account gets suspended any related accounts do eventually. Apparently that is not the case for all their different country accounts. Different rules for different country sites apparently and they wonder why people don’t trust them…🤬🤬🤬 ---

> [@dwat0870](#): > > I had posted that if one account gets suspended any related accounts do eventually. Apparently that is not the case for all their different country accounts. I don’t sell internationally either so I could be completely wrong about this, but I think that if an account is suspended all accounts in that same marketplace are suspended as well, but that may not always be true in other marketplaces. Violating a. .eu specific policy may not get my .au account suspended, for example. Again, I stress the “I’m not really sure about this”-ness of this statement. ---

Well, I just answered my first Rookie question. I had to “bite my tongue” – hard. _Please understand. I don’t need professional plan it is pressed by mistake.
