I wonder how many people will search the 2 names posted in the 2nd to last paragraph.

I didn’t read that far …

Lately I find I have little patience to read much more than a paragraph.

I only read through that post it quickly, but I think that poster did not endup praising Amazon.

Please correct me if I am wrong

Well, in a round abut way they actually DO thank (backhanded) Amazon for suspending their account BEFORE they put in a lot of time and effort.

It appears that they then went other places including their own website and have grown substantially.

They believe (probably correctly) that if they had invested a LOT more time, effort, and, money into AMAZON before being shut down they would have never survived.

So, in some ways, they are actually glad Amazon stopped them early. Considering the number of suspension posts I have read in the past day or two of sellers that have been on there for 10 to 15 years they were probably lucky!

Consider this start to one:
“I’ve been selling on Amazon for over 12 years. My account is currently deactivated for section 3 violations. Amazon wants me to supply invoices for board games I purchased at Goodwill.”

It’s an epidemic of Amazon suspending people who SHOULD have known better (except for having been encouraged by AMAZON for a couple decades of course!)

NOPE. I have not had the pleasure (so far) of being suspended. I have had a time out or two on the Forum for being rather ‘direct’ at some snowflakes when it wasn’t winter though…

Amazon, you inadvertently drove me to explore other marketplaces, and for that, I thank you. It was as though you nudged me into an e-commerce polyamory, encouraging me to build relationships with multiple platforms rather than relying solely on one. This exploration has been liberating and eye-opening, showing me that there is a vast world beyond your borders.

Emphasis mine. I laughed.

Sadly, 10-ish days later, those names have been removed by Amamods. Were they Amazonians, or gurus, or Sellers replying to them, or…?

I must also thank [Moderator Edit: removed personal information] for their insights and guidance. Their wisdom helped me realize that this deactivation, frustrating as it was, was actually a blessing in disguise. It was the push I needed to evolve my business strategy, ensuring its success in the long run.


The whole thing is :fire::fire::fire: but this cracked me up :joy:

I searched the names and if my memory is correct, they were both YouTuber’s and involved with Wealth Management. Both names have a relationship to each other.

The way the page is worded made me feel the post was to advertise those names and their services.
