Booth randomly in review?

Hello,
I’ve had my booth open for a few days and it’s been doing okay, but randomly I got a banner in my add / edit items page that said my booth was under review. I was a little confused because I hadn’t edited anything and all my items were still visible and being promoted. However my booth was taken offline because one of my final value payments didn’t go through. I re added the card and that was fine but how all my items are waiting to be approved again. Was this just some kind of bug?

If the credit card failed to accept the final value fee charge the booth goes into hold. This account is new so a review is not all that strange or out of the ordinary. If the review isn’t completed in another 24 hours, contact support for further assitance.

what you will have to do is calculate how much the FVF’s will be on everything you have posted & make sure you keep that amount in your bank account to be able to cover ANY sale’s FVF.
if you have $10,000 worth of products, you will need to keep a minimum balance of $1,100 (11% FVF) in your bank account at all times. adjusting the minimum balance to coincide with your advertising level.
if your advertising level is 18%, you would need to maintain a $1,800 minimum balance constantly in that account.
if you have $100,000 in products x 11% = you would need to maintain a $11,000 minimum balance. 18% FVF = $18,000.

not really something recommended as what you are doing is letting everyone who visits your booth ( the internet…..) know exactly how much of a minimum balance you keep in your bank account.

I wouldn’t say that much, but I would say at least enough to cover the FVF for the highest priced item.
