If you are referring to purchases reducing strikes on your seller account, no.  They are separate.

Sellers get Strikes for losing Claims and Disputes.

Eventually those do wear off, but it takes 12 months.

Strikes can mean higher fees, restrictions to the number and value of listing, or even closed accounts.

The restrictions can be temporary or permanent.

The best way to end restrictions and fee increases is to make a lot of sales and have no problems with them.

I see you already have discounts on many items, which are selling,  that you have broken up your wholesale lots to make them more attractive to homeowners and DIY enthusiasts , and that you offer Free Shipping on many items.
