Buy stuff with stealth Amazon account to improve Feedback and reivews

amazonp · #1 03-15-2015

I learn and know how to create Amazon Stealth seller account without problem and pay attention to cc/ip/pc/address/list etc.

If I create a bulk of stealth amazon accounts to buy(not to sell) myself product to improve seller metric and leave reviews, those account are not linked with each other, right? So beside keep account un-linked, any more thing need to attention? Do I must shipping and fill in a tracking#? Must I use FBA?

This type of thing has tripped people up before. When one newer account buys something on another newer account it can set off red flags at Amazon.

In my experience, you do not need to build feedback on Amazon to get business.

Using FBA takes away ONE trust issue with Amazon and it opens up more sales with Amazon Prime members, but I would send a limited amount of merchandise to them to sets the waters. I would also NEVER send anything questionable to FBA. If Amazon finds questionable items, they destroy them.

FBA CAN work very well, but personally, I would only use it on a more established account. But that is JUST MY OPINION. Let's see if others chime in.

new buyers account buying from new seller account bad ideal .. they will think you have a stolen credit card funneling money to your seller account. BAD IDEAL trust me I know this.

Yup, why take so much time and energy just to create new buyer accounts to buy from your NEW seller account just to improve feedback and rating? Doesn't you know there are tons of services out there that can provide you with feedbacks and reviews? Or you can find amazon reviewers or go to tomoson for reviews. But it costs money, and you need to provide free product in exchange for a unbiased review.

Lots of newly created buyer accounts buying from you at the same period of time, doesn't look good to me.. Sure will raise a very big RED flag, if anyone zoom into your account. I won't do that, for sure.

You need more creativity ways to gather reviews and feedbacks.

Thanks for you guy.

My product is expensive, so I can not giveaway for review or feedback.
So is it safe to sending empty box ( fulfilled by merchant)?

I know there are ton of services there for review. but any downside to my seller account or product page? Any one can suggest a reliable services?

Metrics are more important than feedback, just my input

OFFER a gift to you customer buy a 1 dollar item from ebay from the china sellers and have it shipped to them ..1 dollar feedback is well worth it . Just put a paper for each shipment in the mail stating if you leave feedback I will send you a free gift . Works for me should work for you

Very much agreed. Feedback is hard to get on Amazon though. I started at the end of October 2014. Have sold like 260 items and only got 14 Amazon feedback. Very rough.

My last account that I lost, I had around 30,000 sales, with less than 1,200 feedbacks. (cheap volume items)

There is a way to do this legitly without being in violations . Creating buyer accounts with no credit card on file or Amazon gift cards Basically with no Money at all . you can use this method to create stealth buyer accounts and buy from your self with no Money involved works all the time. And you can do this at any point of your account.

Can you pls explain?

How on earth do these accounts successfully buy from the seller? Coupon code? GC?

How? They would still be new buyers and Amazon wont process orders if there is no card on file to charge.
