How to get your money out without waiting 90 days

[alnev]

First I would like to say thanks to the members of this forum, I feel like it's a privilege to be here and have access to all this priceless information.
As a sign of appreciation I would like to share my method of pulling money out from your suspended account without waiting 90 days

This method applies only to currently active seller accounts, if you've been suspended already, you will have to wait 90 days. Also, some of you may know about this little trick, but I never read about it anywhere so there it is:

1. You create 5-10 stealth buyer accounts with real money cards (not VCC)
2. On your seller account you list an item for $1 or whatever
3. With each one of your buyer accounts you purchase that particular item
4. Your seller account gets suspended
5. You go to each one of your own orders, pull up the refund page, issue full refund with maximum "Return shipping concession" and maximum "Other concession", which is going to be about $40 in total. With 10 transactions, that's $400.
6. Get a Heineken, sit back and smile. The money will be on your cards in a couple of days

Notes:
2. The method is possible with only 1 buyer account too, then you just have to make 10 purchases with the same account.
3. Don't forget to leave positive feedback on every transaction

That's it, very simple and easy to do.
Enjoy!

I still don't understand. What do you mean by real money cards?

A debit card for example.
It's got to be a card with money on it, you have to be able to spend that money and to be able to receive a refund on it.

How do you list if your account is suspended? Or are you saying to get your money out of the stealth and then sacrifice it? I'm struggling with this I'm afraid:>

You list and you buy the stuff from your seller account before you get suspended.
You refund the money to your buyer accounts with maximum concessions after you get suspended.

This post is a way of dealing with 90 day block IF you get suspended from what I see. Funny idea and I could see it working =) nice one

basically using a refund system to pull $ out. This can be done just that real cards have to be used to get ach back to the cards for refund.

but how many real cards can u have and how do u know which acct will go down. unless u have 10 cards, 10 accts. , and they all buy from each other which is suspicious.

and your fofo transactions would have too match closely the amount u have in the accts. otherwise u would still be waiting 90 days for some.

this is from a paypal method, invoicing and paying yourself from acct to acct to acct. in order to pull your $$$ out by then issuing refunds or putting in claims if you get 180 days limitation on pp. If you do not answer the PP claims then pp returns the $$$ to the paying accts.

Alnev, I issued refunds however the available balance on the seller account didn't change.. What's going on? Does it take some time to process? If so how long? Thanks

[alnev]

It should be a couple of hours.
However, as I noticed, with recent transactions everything went smooth, with older ones (like a few of months old) there is a lag or some kind of delay.

[ebaykadafi]

Thanks alnev for the quick reply. For some reason it still didn't go through. I will wait a few more days.. If this works.. You are a ****ing GENIOUS!!

[ebaykadafi]

This method does not work, for some reason the refunds are not coming back to the cards and the available balance on the seller acct does not change.

It should work.
Do this: go to your buyer account, open an A-Z claim, submit it and at the end Amzn will tell you that an X amount of money has been refunded to your account already. Let me know if it's not like this.

[ebaykadafi]

It just let me submit the claim, didn't say anything about the refund. When I click on transaction history for the order it says the refund was applied. Nothing hit my card though. But on the orders page it says shipped. Also amazon deleted the seller account. Do you open the claim the same date as you buy from your seller account or do you wait a few days? Thanks for the help

[rsot]

This method is not for those who expect to receive money right away - the refund takes time. It's kind of messy.

[ebaykadafi]

rsot please explain

I don't understand this question.
If you are suspended already, you can't buy anymore.
If you are only under review, don't open A-Z, that will just kill you.

I make refund after being suspended, that's the whole point: when you have money stuck in your suspended account, this is a back door where you can take some of it out.

[ebaykadafi]

I open a new buyer and seller account. I buy a few cheap items from the seller account. I then sell a few vero items and the account gets suspended. Do I file the claim the same day or do I wait a few days before filing the claim? I bought same day then issued the refund for the cheap item + $35. It has been 3 days and the balance on the account hasn't changed. There is no refund on the buyer acct debit card. Alnev / rsot please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Your replies are greatly appreciated.
