5 Accounts Closed - All VmWare Accounts HELP
 

Today I created 2 additional VMWare accounts for new Amazon making my total (5) Amazon accounts with VMware. I've purchased the Amazon Ghost Guide. All accounts had different Macs and Router IP's. An hour later all VMWare accounts were closed and this is the same email I received from Seller Performance. I'm totally stumped as I used different emails for every account! Anyone have input?

Hello from Amazon.

This message is to let you know that we have closed the selling account associated to this email address. We took this action because in reviewing our records, we have evidence that this account is related to another selling account.

Per our policies, participants may operate only one selling account on Amazon.com. We enforce this policy in the interest of maintaining a free and fair venue for all participants.

Opened an email while logged into the wrong user account

Unless you have gmail then you're safe.

Maybe you repeated bank details

Forgot to clear cookies & Flash cookies

Same computer name?? Maybe...?

did business while logged into wrong account

Same Password used

Listed the same item which happens to be a rare item

Amazon found you on Ebay and there you revealed personal info which linked you to another account.

You reused a telephone number

You bought an item on Amazon then had it sent to your home address using stealth account


Just some ideas....

Nope - Opened an email while logged into the wrong user account

Used Gmail - Unless you have gmail then you're safe.

All different Greendot cards/account numbers: Maybe you repeated bank details

Set up new Virtual Machines - Forgot to clear cookies & Flash cookies

Same Computer, but followed Amazon Ghost Guide - Same computer name?? Maybe...?

Nope - did business while logged into wrong account

Nope - Same Password used

Listed one item per account, all different - Listed the same item which happens to be a rare item

Nope - Amazon found you on Ebay and there you revealed personal info which linked you to another account.

Used Google Voice with a different number and had verifications forwarded to my Cell - You reused a telephone number

nope - You bought an item on Amazon then had it sent to your home address using stealth account


=(

One reason could be using Google Voice???? When I set up gmail accounts, I set up a google voice phone number and have calls forwarded to my cell. I verify my identity with the forwarding option.

I dont think they can know that its google voice.. Otherwise paypal/ebay would as well.

Did you change your mac address for every account you made?

I did change the MAC for the router, but not the Modem (Clone with TMAC) When I created the Virtual Machines I checked the Mac for every account. (run, cmd, getmac)

Every Mac address for every Virtual Machine was different than my desktop Mac so I didn't change it. Maybe they are picking up my Desktop Mac or something??? Why would a different Mac show in the Virtual Machine though?

Why would Amazon Performance tell me in the email for every one of the five accounts closed that they were closed because an "EMAIL" address used to set up the account was used for another account?

How accurate is Seller Performance when it comes to the reasons for why an account closes? Could these accounts have closed for a different reason? Even though they claim it was because of email addresses?

I had the exact same problems, did everything right, and all the new accounts I created were closed within a day because they are "related" to another suspended accounts, I tried at least 30 accounts... What's going on with Amazon?

what's going on with amazon is that every dog and his man is trying to be stealth there.
Amazon are deciding to dislike this idea.

Be careful about what you mention espceially in wide open places :spy:

Yes the same thing has happened to me and i have bought and followed the amazon ghost guide also. I used different ip addresses on different dial up service and checked everything. It must be amazon is just closing down accounts at will and giving a generic excuse for doing it. :mad2:

Were you listing items in categories that have no other RECENTLY LAUNCHED sellers?

I just had to "re-verify" my information for Amazon, my address and my phone number though I've had this account for 9 months

This doesn't mean this:

Otherwise I am also using Google Voice and never was shut down because using it.

Did you use stealth addresses, does the street number and zip match the Amazon CC billing info?
Are your phone numbers' area codes within reasonable distance from these addresses?

I think so RSOT. Why?

Yes. I used Stealth addresses and no, a few of the zip codes did not match the CC billing info. They were in 15-20 mile radius. The zip and cities from the address did not exactly match the zips for the billing info. Would this make a difference?

Am az on has a tendency I have noticed of MASS suspensions and blocks from categories that have no RECENTLY LAUNCHED sellers i.e. they will boot one person from it then (for some time) continue to boot and auto-block other people who list in that category.

That might have happened to you - but for 5 accounts, chances are weird but still something to consider...

Were the stealth addresses real? Real homes at those addresses? If they are random addresses you made up, that won't go.
If they are real remember that someone may have a Amazon account there or worse a banned one.

oh no! A Banned Amazon address.

The street number and zip of the card is transmitted to Amazon, so you have to make sure that you are using the exact same info when you register a new account.
This is confirmed, I previously got banned because of this, as soon as I corrected the issue with my next accounts, everything was OK, they are still alive.

RSOT you should make that your avatar!

most def it's cookies.

also are u making all your vmware accts copies of the same os installation?

as in: on 1 windows user acct: on the 1 vmware and then load windows OS 1 time and u are coping?

if so that your prob.

need to use diff windows user accts. - honestly people that do not know what the r doing are the one stealth on amazon pushing the prices way down just to sell an item.

amazon know when things are too cheap! so please do not do that!

- watch your win user accts:
- and also always install your OS as fresh from the .iso everytime. Do Not copy it!!

and guys do not push the prices down!!!
