community rules
Can you promote your product in r/AmazonSeller?
You cannot promote your product in regular posts or comments. Rule 2, "Self-Promo goes in the Community Promotional Post," says the pinned Community Promo Post is "the ONLY place to discuss or link to things you are affiliated with," including your "product," and the submit page says, "Promotion or lead generation outside the community pinned post will result in a permanent ban." Even in that promo post, Rule 4 bans affiliate, indirect, masked, shortened, and tracking links, and Rule 2 says to disclose any affiliations.
The rules that cover promotion
Rule 2: Self-Promo goes in the Community Promotional Post
"The Community Promo Post at the top of the sub is the ONLY place to discuss or link to things you are affiliated with, including your company, site, service, product, app, article, video, product development, survey or market research, etc."
Rule 2: Disclosure and enforcement
"Disclose any affiliations. 'Guru' posts are often lead generation attempts and will be removed. Violations will be a ban, no exceptions or appeals"
Submit page warning
"NO PROMOTION incl your service, app, market research, site, survey, article, video, or anything otherwise by you, for you, or about you"
Rule 4: No improper links
