What an Aged Account Saves You
Approvals, capacity and history you would otherwise build for months. Run your own numbers, then see what each one is worth.
Run your own numbers
Two assumptions, both yours. Move them and the figures below follow.
Ungating it yourself
$12,000 to $20,000
What 4 months of the work usually costs, at the usual $3,000 to $5,000 a month.
Revenue that arrives later
$120,000
If you expect $30,000 a month, 4 months of waiting pushes about that much of it back.
An aged account often comes already ungated for dozens of brands, shown live before you buy.
Estimates from your own numbers, not a promise. What ungating costs you depends on your brands, your suppliers and how long Amazon takes.
Skip Months of Ungating Work, Usually $3-5K
Aged accounts often come already ungated for dozens of brands, shown live before you buy. Doing the ungating yourself usually costs $3-5K a month and takes months.
Save 12-24 Months of Build Time
New accounts face gated brands, low FBA capacity, and no distributor trust. Aged accounts skip the line entirely.
Approvals a New Account Starts Without
Hazmat, Seller Fulfilled Prime and Amazon Renewed each ask for a record a new account does not have: a waitlist, a 90-day shipping history plus a four-week trial, Amazon's requirement of $50,000 in paid invoices. Some aged accounts already hold one or more of these, and the listing says which.
Risk Diversification
Smart sellers run multiple accounts. If one gets suspended, your entire business doesn't go dark.
The Quick Math
Doing the ungating yourself usually costs $3-5K a month and months of waiting. Aged accounts often come with dozens of brand approvals already active, shown live before you buy.
