Should you build this?

YES, if

You've sold on Amazon FBA and know vacation-mode mechanics + tax implications
You can write Chrome extensions to auto-bulk-apply settings
You're OK with one-time-fee model (no recurring revenue)

THINK TWICE

Only 3 signals total, max 5 upvotes — pain is real but niche
Amazon may add native pause feature any time
One-time-fee model doesn't generate meaningful MRR

I want to build a tool for: Amazon FBA/AmazonSeller brand owners needing temporary pause without account closure (signal#3); FBA sellers facing Market Withdrawal issues (signal#1, 5 upvotes); dissolved-but-still-active UK LTD edge cases (signal#2, 5 upvotes)

The pain users describe: How to stop selling without closing my account

Timing / why now: Validate first — no dated trigger. Amazon's account-pause gap is a long-standing limitation, not tied to a specific policy change

Existing alternatives: none clearly identified yet — opportunity for a first-mover

Help me draft an MVP technical plan:
1. Core user flow (happy path, 3-5 steps)
2. Data model (main tables and their key fields)
3. Tech stack recommendation (favor fast-to-ship options)
4. First 3 things to build this weekend
5. What NOT to build in v1 (scope discipline)
