You guys were right. I got a point blank denial via one of their canned emails.
As for my first account - I had that account for 2.5 years and got over 440 feedback, usually in 97-98% positive. I didn't use any tactics to solicit feedback, so the ratio was less than 10%. Then 3 or 4 negs in a row brought the score down to 91-92%. Additionally, I had USPS crash several of my packages and lose a couple so my return ratio went up. I had several OOS cancellations due to items being cross-listed on ebay and Amz. Long story short - Amazon put my account under review (a third one in 2 years). Most of that was all my fault, no blame on customers (other than couple of negs one of which was definitely from a competitor ). To add insult to an injury I used another account to bump my feedback ratio.
So along with known scenario, after 30-day review, the account was suspended and I was offered to provide a detail plan on how would I improve my performance. Then after couple of weeks, I got email from Amz where they've caught me leaving myself a one feedback. Along with that I've noticed that couple of legit feedback also disappeared from my account as well. So no chance there.
What I've tried to do with the second account (that was way before I bought Amz Ghost and came across this forum), I used my dad's computer and new bankd Visa debit card to open a brand new account. I think what got me caught is that I've used a ShipRush program to ship my orders and it had my old shipping address and name in it. Also I tried to access that Amz account from my work.
So I guess stealth is the only way to go now.
