I've been a long-time Amazon stealther. Selling accounts are okay, but when I try to purchase with a stealth buyer account, Amazon is freezing my account and asking for billing statements, phone #, etc. I've been told that recent changes to the system have made the traditional VCCs obsolete for Amazon buyer accounts. Does anyone know of a workaround or alternative?
And yes I have bought Amazon Ghost, it doesn't help with this issue.

The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
You will need to add your own proper card to the account if you want to use it for buying.
You'll need to add the address to your CC or Debit card, by calling your bank and adding the additional address as an additional authorized address for billing purposes.
Prepaid cards will give you trouble on buyer accounts

Best advice. Dont buy from that account.
SO SO SO SUPER EASY to make a buyer account using a vanilla gift card or amazon gift card. Why on earth would you want to give them an actual credit card when you can simply use a gift card
AND.....why pay for a VCC when you can simply buy a GC for free with no drama. Just sayin.
the vcc's i've tried have been blocked or denied after a month, any hints what to look for
There are no hints, they are AVS checking the buyer account cards now. There are maybe a very limited few that do not need AVS checked but the majority are.
