I found several best-selling products (dash cam, phone mount, grinder) where the same ASIN is sold by multiple different stores under the same brand.
My questions:
-
How are these stores obtained? Bought directly? Or aged accounts?
-
Isn’t there a risk of if the same brand authorizes multiple stores? How do they control it?
-
Can I “self‑follow” my own ASIN from another store to create a higher list price (strikethrough)? How to isolate risk?
-
If one store gets suspended, what happens to the inventory and funds?

The reason top listings can do this safely is they have strong risk isolation.
They don’t cross-contaminate stores.
They don’t use the same software or tools across accounts.
They don’t log in to multiple stores from the same place.
If you do those three things, you can run many stores under one brand safely.
Many sellers just register new legal entities and open fresh stores.
Aged accounts help with trust, but they’re not required —
clean, properly separated new accounts work fine.
When a store gets suspended:
The biggest mistake is leaving lots of cash in risky accounts.
Withdraw frequently so you don’t lose much if an account goes down.
The role you assign in Brand Registry matters a lot.
Serious sellers only give out Reseller permissions to avoid brand abuse flags.
If you want to create a strikethrough price within the same store,
you can simply add another offer on your own ASIN at a higher price.
Risk is very low because it’s all inside one seller account.
If you use a second store, the only real risk is account linking.
Keep them completely separate, and it’s safe.
