Issues opening a Tik Tok Shop - $90M Amazon Seller

As the title says, I'm a high revenue Amazon seller. Have generated close to $90M in revenue on Amazon in the past 10 years, and am currently doing over $1m/month in sales there.

I figured I'd want to test some of my products on TTS to see what the hype is about, but every single time I go to create an account it gets suspended.

I've tried appealing multiple times but it's always the same response. "We can verify your identity", or more recently "Risk and safety concerns".

Some background:

I have a NY based LLC and have had it for the past 10 years.
Have gone through 1 corporate name change, but have all the IRS documents to support it and all current IRS paperwork is in the new name as of 5 years ago.
US Citizen with US passport and NY drivers license - both have been submitted to TTS multiple times
Have a physical warehouse in NY - proof has been shown to TTS appeals in the form of a lease.
Have provided any type of personal and business verification they've asked for, mortgage statements, video verification, utility bills, invoices from suppliers, everything.

I have nothing to hide, and nothing should be unscrupulous about my paperwork or my business, yet I've never been able to get approved.

I've just used up I beleive my 5th attempt of opening a new TTS account. I believe you have the ability to create up to 5. Each time has been a different email and phone number according to what I've read on the matter.

At my witts end with this. It's getting to the point where I'm thinking of just creating a new LLC just to sell on TTS, but it would be an absolute nightmare for me. Any one have any suggestions?

I might attend a trade show next week where TTS has a booth literally just to speak to someone about my issues. Is there any support channels for high volume sellers? or does anyone have ANY advice for me? I've been through the ringer countless times with Amazon and their requests, so I think I'm pretty well versed in preparing these documents correctly, but I'm clearly doing something wrong.

The Fontainebleau hotel in Las Vegas

Looking for something that smells as close as possible to the Fontainebleau hotel in Las Vegas. I believe the Vegas ones smells differently than the Miami one.

I know it’s a very niche request but any help would be appreciated.

Have attended countless successful meetings and conferences staying here and it’s become somewhat of a good luck charm for me.

Lost my best friend

Long time lurker here. Would regularly visit this subreddit whenever I was having a bad day.

On Friday we lost our beloved Blu to brain cancer at just 7 years old.

He has been battling the cancer and having seizures since October of this past year. I did everything in my power to keep him with us and keep him happy, but unfortunately it was just his time.

He was the family's emotional support blanket and the only thing he ever needed was food and affection.
He was my first dog and truly my best friend. The night before he passed, I think he knew it was his time. He was nervous and panting and the only way he would fall asleep was if the placed his face directly on top of mine. Stayed up all night to comfort him and keep him with us but there was nothing I do. We knew his day was coming eventually, but it didn’t make things any easier.

Our 5 year old Husky has also spent the past 2 days pacing around the house crying looking for her best buddy.

Since his passing I’ve had this void in my heart as if something is missing/wrong that I don’t know if will ever pass.

Cheers to our little Bluey 💙. Until we meet again my friend.

$70M sold on Amazon - AMA

Been doing Amazon for 10 years. Have sold in just about every Amazon business model. Nearly lost my account last year and switched my entire business model around. Ask me anything.

Is there anyway to estimate how much a competitor is spending on PPC?

I know SmartScout’s ad spy shows estimated PPC spend on a brand basis but the numbers seem pretty off, and they don’t break it up by seller account, just brand.
