Has anyone ever heard of this? Two posts on the NSFE about being told to post there that they are members of the SilentJim community and were told to mention that to escalate their cases? ---

Apparently, it’s related to some Amazon online course/Guru that is “teaching” all the stuff you shouldn’t do on Amazon. ---

Take a look at their Disclaimer page; must be 20 different ways of saying “We’re not liable for any loss you incur by following our advice”, as well as a statement making it clear that they make no attempt whatsoever to keep any advice or other info current and up to date. Somebody said they think it’s another RA “Guru”, but I didn’t dive deep enough to verify. But would certainly fit with the people getting suspended left and right. ---

> [@Tvoi](#): > > How do people still fall for this crap Desperation and dreams of what could be, and thinking it will be easy. Selling on Amazon is probably the most challenging place to start and maintain a profitable business. Amazon is making this harder everyday with their advertising greed, squeezing out organically ranked products for sponsored ads. On the buyer App, that’s tripled in 2024 (placements) on page 1. It’s getting to the point where you literally have to pay for every sale. I can’t imagine that this will lead to higher buyer satisfaction so it will backfire a bit. Won’t be enough to discourage Amazon because PPC accounts for the majority of Amazon’s profit for their retail ops. Desperate sellers, selling garbage, are the sellers that are pumping $ into PPC to be on top. I’d be curious to see the Star Avg for reviews over time at Amazon as they make these money grabbing changes. Amazon won’t stop until their profits go down and that’s unlikely to happen as more and more business moves to Amazon and Ecommerce in general. They will happily take a 4.2 to 4.0 shift in buyer satisfaction as long as profits and the stock price go in the other direction. I get it, it’s business. Don’t blame them for fulfilling their mission. That doesn’t mean I like it or think it’s right. ---

I mean let’s face it, most new sellers are following some guru like this. Especially foreign sellers doing OA/drop shipping. I don’t have cable (cut the cord years ago!) But I assume late night cable commercials still feature high quality products and services like this. Still presenting them in an info-tanement style? ---

I think it’s bizarre to push suspension issues to the NSFE as a strategy. And I hope that watchers can see the difference between posting there about SellersAskSellers–a free Seller community, no strings attached, nothing to sell to the gullible, run by unpaid Seller volunteers NOT a service provider–versus something like SlimJim or other so-called “communities” or “forums” that are actually only sales funnels for the scam.
