> Something like 60/month seems like it'd be a little more reasonable

That would cause scammers to create new accounts, upload 60 books, hope to sell a few on the first few days until they get caught, then rinse and repeat.

Amazon will probably also monitor accounts who upload 3 books a day using some heuristic so that they can stop it before it becomes an issue.

Amazon holds onto funds for at least 30 days. You can't bait and switch that fast.

Fair point. It still pollutes the marketplace, though.

No one would pollute the marketplace unless expecting profit
