Can I post a link to my own tool or service?
Yes, but only after the moderators approve it. The “Follow the promotional guidelines” rule says promoting anything you own or are affiliated with without approval gets you banned instantly.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- No AI Generated content: Whether it is a thread or a comment, absolutely NO ai-generated text is allowed and will result in an instant ban.
- Follow the promotional guidelines: Promoting a website, service or product you own or are affiliated with in any way **without mod approval** will result in an instant ban without any prior warning and limited chance for appeal. Read [promotional guidelines](https://www.reddit.com/r/FulfillmentByAmazon/wiki/subreddit_faq#wiki_promotional_post_guidelines) for full details.
- Don't disclose buyer or seller identity: Do not disclose any personally identifiable information of a buyer or seller.
- Brag posts must have content: Brag posts must include a generous amount of content and context. Bragging should be only a small percentage of what you post.
Works well
- A detailed writeup of a problem you hit while selling on Amazon, with the numbers and the steps you took to fix it
- A success story that leads with the full context, like what you sold, what it cost, what went wrong, and what you learned
- A question about a specific operational decision, asked only after you have shared what you already tried and what happened
- A plain text breakdown of a change Amazon made and how it affected your business, written entirely in your own words
- A message to the moderators asking for approval before you ever mention your own service or website
Avoid
- Posting any text written by an AI tool, even a small edit, because the “No AI Generated content” rule means an instant ban
- Sharing a link to your own site, tool, or service before the moderators approve it, because the “Follow the promotional guidelines” rule means an instant ban without warning and with limited chance of appeal
- Mentioning a seller or buyer by name, store, or any detail that could identify them, because the “Don't disclose buyer or seller identity” rule forbids it
- Posting a brag about your revenue or sales rank with no data or story behind it, because the “Brag posts must have content” rule will get it removed
- Making bragging the main thing you post, since the rules say it should only be a small percentage of your activity
- Assuming a soft mention of your product is safe, because the promotion rule covers anything you own or are affiliated with, not just hard sells
What r/FulfillmentByAmazon Is For
This is a community for mid to high level discussions about selling on Amazon and using the Fulfillment by Amazon service. The people here are not beginners asking how to open a store. They are sellers who already run an Amazon business and want to talk about the real operational side of it, like logistics, fees, and how the platform treats them. Because the room is aimed at experienced sellers, the bar for what counts as a useful post is high. Vague questions and thin content do not fit the tone the description sets.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Four rules decide whether a marketing adjacent post survives here. The first is “No AI Generated content”, which says AI generated text in a thread or a comment is absolutely not allowed and results in an instant ban. The second is “Follow the promotional guidelines”, which says promoting a website, service, or product you own or are affiliated with, in any way, without mod approval, gets you an instant ban with no prior warning and limited chance of appeal. The third is “Don't disclose buyer or seller identity”, which forbids sharing personally identifiable information about a buyer or a seller. The fourth is “Brag posts must have content”, which says brag posts need a generous amount of content and context, and that bragging should be only a small percentage of what you post.
What To Post
A good post here is written by you, in your own words, with no AI involved at any step. It comes from real experience running an Amazon business, and it gives specific detail that other sellers can learn from. If you want to share a success story, include the numbers, the decisions behind them, and the mistakes along the way, because brag posts must have content and context. If you have built a tool or service for Amazon sellers, message the moderators first and get approval before you mention it anywhere. When in doubt, lead with what you learned, not with what you are selling.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get banned here is posting anything written by an AI tool. The rule covers threads and comments, and the ban is instant. The second fastest way is promoting your own website, service, or product without moderator approval. That is also an instant ban, with no warning and limited chance of appeal, so there is no forgiveness for a first mistake. Do not disclose personally identifiable information about any buyer or seller, even if the story feels harmless. And if you want to share a win, make sure it comes with a generous amount of content and context, and keep bragging to a small percentage of your overall posting.

Common questions about r/FulfillmentByAmazon
Can I use AI to help write my post?
No. The “No AI Generated content” rule bans AI text in both threads and comments, and it results in an instant ban.
Can I share a success story about my sales?
Yes, if you include a generous amount of content and context, like the numbers, the mistakes, and how you got there. The “Brag posts must have content” rule requires it.
Can I mention a specific seller or buyer in my post?
No. The “Don't disclose buyer or seller identity” rule forbids sharing personally identifiable information about buyers or sellers.
Are links allowed at all?
The rules do not say. The policy brief marks links as unknown, so the safe move is to ask the moderators before posting any link.
