Thats so sad. :( sorry to hear. :(

I have recieved 1 cheque so far and I am waiting to recieve my 2nd cheque.

Also requested my 3rd cheque.. let see what happens. I will keep you updated.

I opened mine with a publicly known VCC, and They allowed me to log into my account for a 24 hour period to be able to withdraw. I emailed them about 1-2 days before it was suppose to be withdrawn stating that I did not have a bank account on file and that it had been 90 days. Try emailing them right when it's time. I also emailed them sunday day time and monday late afternoon when I didn't hear a reply back. I've found daytime is best to email.

If you contact the Better Business Bureau they'll send a check to whatever address you request.

How do I go anout on contacting them? does it cost? is it only for the US or for UK and Europe?

The Better Business Bureau is only in the US. It doesn't cost anything to file a claim with them.

I would think that there is something like that in the UK

Still to try this method.

I have not Tried BBB but its worth some thought!

ONLY if you are successful in the application to get amazon to release the funds.


Not every account will get funds released. The more BBB claims, the less likely amazon MAY play.

Bear that in mind :pry:

Will the cheque thing go through? Even if you added a bank account? I recently added a bank account info on 1 stealth account that was running for a month and after 12 hours I cant log in which I presume I am banned. Will the money go to a bank account for will I be paid with a cheque?

What do you guys think?

Well should automatically disperse

If they deleted the account I wouldn't think it would go to the bank account. From what it seems like they are deleting accounts that they are very confident are stealth. That way the odds are better your funds will now become Amazon's money.

If the account gets the normal suspension and you can still log in then it would go to the bank account.

what is the difference when amazon delete or suspension your account? which is the reason amazon delete your account ? which is the reason amazon suspended your account ? what if you use the same address to get the cheque, which is the risk?, like amazon anyway delete your account forever

If the stealth address is a real address but you are using a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name, just file a change of address form for the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name at the stealth address. This way whoever actually lives at the stealth address still gets their mail but when Amazon mails the check to the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name, it will go right to you

There MAY be differences in the UK, but this is my experience in the USA:

If Amazon does not like what you are selling, or if you are not meeting their standards, the account is SUSPENDED. You can still access the account, and add and change information, but you can no longer list anything for sale. Amazon sends you an email letting you know about the suspension. After 90 days, any funds remaining will be deposited into your back account.

If Amazon believes your account is a stealth account, they do NOT email you or contact you. When you try to log in, it will say "invalid username/password combination". You can try to change your password, but nothing will happen, you will still be locked out. Emailing them will NOT get a response. If you call, the person you speak to will be polite and sympathetic. But they will tell you they cannot help you and will have to have a specialist call you back. They will take your name and number. Don't hold your breath waiting for the call. I am told that sometime after 90 days a PAPER CHECK will be sent to the name and address on file. They won't allow you to change it. If the check comes back to them as undeliverable, the funds will be turned over to the department that handles unclaimed funds in the State you listed the account in. Once thast happens, threre is no way to get the money back. At least not without committing fraud.

A worthy idea, but I would check with a lawyer first. Filing a false change of address MAY not be legal (I don't know).

that's the thing, it's a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name. you could always say you have no idea who it is. your real name would not appear anywhere

this is the end

Yes, that is possible. Please understand, I wasn't dissing your idea. It is just that when it comes to the law and what is legal, I tend to err on the side of extreme caution.

oh no, I understand. I often wonder if all this registering ⊗⊗⊗⊗ accounts is going to bite me in the a$$ one day

@mermaid, what's the end?

if amazon delete accounts and cheque go to address that we cant get, we cannot get that cheque so i lost my money.

I know in Canada you need ID to do this. I have to assume its the same in the US. Or I could walk in and get your mail forwarded to me.
