Can I post a link to my Amazon FBA tool or service?
No, the rule "No promotion of services" says promotion of your own services is not allowed, so you should not link to your product or service.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- No promotion of services.: Promotion of your own services is not allowed.
- Do Not Solicit For Private Messages: Do not make posts where you indicate to users to send you direct messages rather than reply publicly to the post. Do not post comments saying you DMed a poster, all discussions should take place on the thread. Anything worth sharing should be shared publicly, not through DMs. Most messages sent via DM are usually scams.
Works well
- Ask a specific question about Amazon FBA, like how to handle a certain type of product or a shipping issue, and keep the discussion public.
- Share a practical tip from your own selling experience without mentioning your own service or product.
- Start a discussion about a common Amazon FBA challenge, like inventory or fees, and invite people to reply on the thread.
Avoid
- Do not make a post that promotes your own service or product, even if you think it is relevant to Amazon FBA sellers.
- Do not ask anyone to send you a direct message or private message to continue the conversation.
- Do not leave a comment saying you sent a direct message to another user, because the moderators want all discussions to stay public.
What r/AmazonFBA Is For
This is the unofficial subreddit for Amazon FBA, which means fulfillment by Amazon. The description points to tips and guides for Amazon FBA sellers, so the room is for people who sell on Amazon or want to learn how. Based on the description alone, a person who posts here is likely an Amazon seller or someone looking for seller tips and guides.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter are "No promotion of services" and "Do Not Solicit For Private Messages". The first one means you cannot promote your own services anywhere in a post or comment. The second one means you cannot ask people to send you direct messages, and you cannot say you sent a direct message to someone. All discussion has to stay on the thread.
What To Post
A good post here is a public discussion about Amazon FBA that does not promote your own service. You could ask a real question about selling on Amazon, share a useful tip from your own experience, or start a conversation about a challenge you face as a seller. Keep every reply on the thread, and do not turn the post into a pitch for your product or service.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything that counts as promotion of your own services, because that is explicitly not allowed. Avoid asking users to send you direct messages, and avoid posting comments that say you direct messaged someone. The rules say all discussions should take place on the thread, so do not try to move a conversation to private messages.

Common questions about r/AmazonFBA
Can I ask people to direct message me for more details?
No, the rule "Do Not Solicit For Private Messages" says you should not ask users to send you direct messages and all discussions should take place on the thread.
What kind of content can I share here?
The description says it is for Amazon FBA tips and guides, so you could share a useful tip or guide as long as you do not promote your own service or ask for private messages.
Will I get banned if I break a rule once?
The rules do not explicitly mention bans, but they do say posts that promote services or ask for private messages will be removed.
