Amazon Stealth No Longer Working???

[eager693]

I have been using stealth Amazon for 3+ years. It has gotten real bad recently. To the point where it is near impossible. I am being forced to shut down my 5+ year business completely bc of the issues listed below:

1) All VCC's are no longer working. More specifically, when updating cards, absolutely no VCC works. I have tried them all. There is no way to update VCC. I have several thousand dollars stuck in one account bc of this.

2) Due to the VCC issue, creating new accounts is darn near impossible or does not work at all

3) Amazon is ignoring all emails regarding stealth accounts. In the past, seller-performance, seller-evaluation, or payment-funds email would always generate a response within 24 hrs. I recently had an account suspended. Tried to get reinstated. Not only is seller-performance ignoring emails. Payment-funds is also ignoring emails even though there is a huge balance. Been over 7 days. Now there is no guarantee I will be paid & they may just delete my account, even though I shipped everything.

4) pq-offer-review emails allow amazon to flag and remove any listing immediately at any time, without any reason. A competitor simply flags a listing at any time. Then Amazon immediately demands receipts once a pq-offer-review email is sent, blocking listings until they get receipts. I have been selling the product for 5+ yrs on amazon. All of a sudden, they want receipts??? Not everything in the world has a receipt, especially older goods or discontinued products which can be a lucky find. Where was this 5 yrs ago?

5) Because of the VCC issue & amazon not responding anymore to anything they think is a stealth account, the future is bleak. Buying an account or trying alternative methods is too risky & too expensive bc there is so much uncertainty. In the past, it was 90 days post suspension, guaranteed payment. 90 days, you get paid. 90 days, you get paid. Now there is no payment guaranteed 90 days & amazon will ignore your emails if they find out you are a stealth. Can't even withdraw funds, VCC are gone.

My 5+ years Amazon business is suddenly over. I am not sure what to do, I can't pay my bills this month. Does anyone else agree Amazon Stealth is close to done or no longer feasible? Feedback? Comments? Advice? Thank you.

No its is working just fine. Ive made 5 accounts this week and just made another 4 in the last few hours. Ill report back if there are any problems, but it seems to be working fine.

Update to this thread:

1) Some VCC's may be working. But it has become very difficult to update cards. VCC sometimes works sometimes does not.

2) Creating accounts is not a big issue & is possible, VCC may become issue later on.

3) Amazon responses are now later than usual. You may have to wait several days before getting a response.

4) Flag listings are new and something to watch out for.

5) There is still uncertainty regarding stealth but for now it appears to be working if you are very careful and know what you are doing.

End point. Stealth Amazon exists. But it has become very very difficult to create & maintain and must be more careful regarding everything.

Thanks everyone for the responses.

Its true its becoming harder and harder to create accounts.

But its still possible, you just have to devote enough time and energy into figuring it out
