Hello BHW members

I have had a very bad experience with a JV here on BHW.
It was a JV about Amazon Seller accounts. The so-called "reputable" and respected member was collecting (maybe is still doing) Amazon seller accounts in return for commissions based on revenue.

The JV did not have a lot of information but considering that it was approved by a moderator decided to join.

I asked the member if he would accept new seller accounts and he agreed.

Note that he never ever mentioned that your account may get suspended !!! Also never mentioned in the JV description.

On July 7, 2019, I delivered the account.

On July 15 account was deactivated.
Reason: Amazon was asking for invoices for the listed products.

On July 23, finally, one of his team members could deliver the invoices.
I sent the invoices to Amazon but the account was still deactivated.

On July 28, one of his team members said that we should send a letter of authorization to amazon.

On August 2nd they finally have the documents ready for amazon.
I never understood why didn't they sent all documents at once on July 23 but that's not my topic anyways. I send all the documents to Amazon (Invoices, letter of authorization)

After sending the docs I open my Amazon selling account and a big surprise there !!!

After this, all the other part is a story. They promised to get back my account, that will call Amazon and bla bla bla ...

Result: never got my account back!

My question is simple, doesn't this "respected" member have to highlit in his JV that he is selling an an-authorized product and there is a high risk of losing the account.

Yeah, I'm so stupid to think that the member will make such an announcement. He is trying to make money, why should he say that, right?

What about the Moderators here, shouldn't they check the JV before approving it?
How can they approve such a JV without mentioning this crucial points?!

Another thing that pissed me of is that my comments on the member's thread were deleted (not only mine) with the reason of spamming. Since when telling the truth is considered spam?!
If mods would allow such comments there, a lot of members could have saved their accounts.

For all the members who join such JV's please be careful. It is important to do due to diligence before entering such JV's.

To all mods, please have a close look at the JV before approving. If you don't have time for that at least let the people involved in the JV leave reviews. You are deleting fair reviews considering them Spam and leave only the good reviews. IMO it is not fair.

Ps. I know I should have posted this before but I did not have time. Sorry guys!



HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

PEACE BE UPON YOU
 
You should make a shit list thread

Why make a shitlist thread, when on the JV thread the moderator literally says to do your own due diligence.

Also, when something is too good to be true, it's because it is. There's no such thing as free money.

Because the Shitlist is against the guy/gal he JVed with, not against the mods.

Can i open shitlist about a JV ???

i dont really care about the account. what pissed me off was the mod deleting everybody’s bad comments.
to me that is not appropriate.

JVs aren't covered by SLs, but if there are several instances of issues, then I'm more than happy to close JVs.

JVs are approved based on what the OPs of these tell staff in reply to questions asked, but if these become other than what was originally proposed they will be closed and the OP warned.

I'm not sure if that is true actually:

1. Threads in this section may only pertain to business conducted through this forum.

I'd argue that JVs are business conducted through the forum and there is precedent for this (including with some mods where one side of the JV did not deliver, or disappeared).

It was appropriate as that is not a discussion thread. It is a do business or ask questions about doing business with the original poster.

As to the staff doing proper due diligence before that was approved we did. In fact I used one of my own Amazon accounts and it was fine for several months.

I didn't and would not use an Amazon account that I would want to be 100% safe such as my personal one or my wife's personal one as giving someone access to an account of your own is always going to have some measure of risk.

I've not looked at the account he used in a long time as I don't do the Amazon thing anymore but it had no issues.

it might have worked at the time for you. But i have seen sever comments saying that they lost their accounts. Their comments were all deleted.
What do you call this?
 
Who is it your were in the JV with? It'll be useful for others to dodge them.

I'd be very interested to see the letter of authorisation.

The fact Amazon closed your account after you submitted these documents means there is a high probability that the documents are not genuine.
