Is selling used books via FBA good for account health?
Yes, FBA sales of used books should count toward account health, as it evaluates your fulfillment and sourcing.
Should a new seller buy a Q4 leads list?
It can be valuable for learning and pattern recognition, but many leads may be gated until your account health improves.
What percentage of leads have 50+ velocity?
In Q3, 649 out of 1,694 leads (about 38%) had a 50+ gold badge.
How are sales estimates determined for leads?
By triangulating data from tools like Keepa, SellerAmp, and Jungle Scout, since Amazon doesn't provide exact sales.
What does the 50+ gold badge mean?
It means 50 or more orders in the past 30 days, not 50 units sold, and updates daily.
How can new sellers find ungated items efficiently?
Use ungating checkers like Boxyom or Source Lens, reverse source from experienced sellers, and expand within brands.
Does OnTrac work well for merchant-fulfilled orders?
OnTrac may be less reliable than UPS; many sellers prefer established carriers for merchant fulfillment.

Likely in late December, with the list starting in early January (e.g., Jan 4, 2027).
