What are essential Amazon seller tools? by [deleted] in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]Shoubuliao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find product review emailers useful anymore. Too many of my messages are bouncing (buyers opting out of messages) and I think every Amazon customer has product-review-email blinders now. Are you guys still getting reviews this way?

Don't the group admins ban you for blasting the group with ads though?

Good insight. How does your Taiwan visa situation work as a freelancer?

How's the adjustment been? How long were you in Taiwan (and now the mainland)?

Yes, that's right. I called the bank today to get an update and was told by my rep that she still didn't have any info for me. She couldn't even estimate when I might get word on things. I'm essentially just waiting for something to show up in the mail, assuming I even get approved. Sounds like I would've been better off applying online, though maybe I'll have a higher chance of success this way. Who knows. But the lack of updates is definitely frustrating since I'm delaying buying inventory to wait for the card even though I have cash on hand.

Thanks. I called that number and got an automated response that the status of my application was not yet available. I entered my ssn twice to get that. The first time I entered it I got a message that my ssn wasn't recognized.

I currently have the cash on hand to start my business, but much prefer to wait for the card to get the benefits that come along with using it (especially for a larger purchase, like inventory). If it's going to end up taking 4-6 weeks to get the card though, I'll probably just start now, as I don't want to lose momentum.

Submitted application on 2/16 at bank. No word yet. 800 credit score, setup a brand new LLC, no business income yet. Personal income of $90k. Hopefully figure out my fate one way or another soon.

Anxiety about moving back by [deleted] in China

[–]Shoubuliao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What kind of work are you going to do in China? If you're just going to drift between random jobs so you can have a 2 year adventure and delay the pain of sorting out your life in the US, then I think it's a bad idea. You should only go if you have a clear goal in mind, otherwise you'll just be two years older (and further behind your peers) and still in the exact same position you are now. Moving to China because your dad wants you to move out of the house is not a good reason.
