Setalpz here - the same name I had on OSFE. Not participating in NSFE.
Iāve been selling on Amazon for 8+ years. I mostly make custom products via FBM. I have some experience with FBA, but discontinued that 2 years ago.
It is very nice to be participating again. I enjoy helping where Iām able, and much appreciate the help several veterans have given me over the years back on OSFE.
Welcome to the group!
Iām still TEXAS EXILE BOOKS, same identifier on OSFE/NSFE. Mainly because I couldnāt think of anything catchy pertaining to books that hadnāt already been used. .
The NSFE is awful-plus the ānewā sellers questions are rarely answered. MODS allow their questions to languish-then the poor newbies get suspended. Do TPTB want new sellers to fail? Why donāt they make SELLER UNIVERSITY MANDITORY for newbies? Would bet there is a 75% failure rate for - newbies, mostly who are dropshipping, Drat u-tubers
Only thing I know about is the printed page!!
Hi TexasExile, glad to see you here. 
Do TPTB want new sellers to fail?
Yep. And probably old sellers too. 
None of what theyāre doing makes much sense, and certainly isnāt helping anyone. Eventually, itāll probably come back to bite them in the butt, but until thenā¦
Welcome to SAS!
So glad to see you! Welcome! I was really hoping you would find us. 
So happy to see you here!!
Wouldnāt have if a nice bookseller-should I share the name-- hadnāt spelled it out for a couple of us who were answering reverification questions, which is now the hot topic on NSFE.
I can understand our having to submit to the process-weāve been on AMZ 11+ years and really not that tough. But along w/ old-timers, the BOTS are picking those who have been selling less than 6 months or a year!! Hysteria reigns!!
So glad to see familiar names!!
.
May I ask a dumb question? What does TPTB stand for?
The Powers That Be.
Thank you!
The Powers that Be.
I was told by someone, I think another bookseller, that itās used in a sci-fi series, vampires, I think. THE MODS took our posts down!!
I once worked for the FEDS, a conglomeration of siloed depts. that AMZ more and more resembles. This was how we referred to our higher ups, who rarely came out of their offices to mingle w/ the peons.
Hi Texas! Glad to see you ādecodedā my note! I sprinkle them here and there to sneak them by the Mods, especially when I see a familiar name that I miss.
Welcome! Glad you found your way here.
Welcome!!
So sad.. what a hatchet job theyāve done.
Good to have you here!!
On a side note: How did you find or hear about SAS?
I also had to google it, so donāt feel bad!
It makes sense now though
Welcome @TEXASEXILEBOOKS and glad you found this new forum.
Texas and BamaJohn were in a NSFE thread and they commented about not being able to PM there with each other. So I posted a note to find āsellers ask sellers without any spacesā and Texas found us! So far I havenāt had any of those removed by mods, so whenever I see someone I miss from the OSFE I try to get them here.
@booknut7 I really appreciate you doing this! I hope you stay off the mod radar for a loooong time.
