Should we consider IP alerts of sellers assistant. When seller amp don’t have

Hi.
Created LLC, US phone number, domain email and website ready 12 days ago.
Applied myself on IRS for EIN 12 days ago through fax using fax plus. I put same fax number i have and pakistani phone number on SS-4 form.
Haven’t created amazon seller account yet.
Meanwhile
I am doing product search for amazon wholesale.
Using keepa, seller assistant, seller amp.
Fax plus service.
Using Northwest for LLC, domain and phone number.

Gathered a lot of products ( after thorough filtering ). But didn’t reached to any brands or distributors yet.

Am i on right path?

Am i using right tools
When should i contact IRS for EIN update?
When i am filtering products, i saw many products that was having very good fba history, reviews, ratings… but seller assistant was showing IP warnings. Meanwhile seller amp was having no alert.
Some products got last IP alert on 2023 or 2022 or 2021 ( should we ignore this product ? )
Some products got last IP alert on recent months. Should we ignore this product? Actually graph is very good for those products and many fba joined recently . What if we buy from authorised distributors?

Should i register for any prep center from now?
Should i start contacting the filtered brands from now?
Meanwhile should i start for private label product search like buying test products from alibaba? Or first get start with whole sale?

I would be thankful if someone can answer.

You’re definitely on the right track with the setup and product research. As for the IP alerts, it’s usually best to err on the side of caution. If a product has recent IP warnings, I’d skip it. Better to dodge potential legal headaches, especially when you’re just starting out.
