New stealth account got blocked in one night
 

I created a new steal account last night after I got everything ready, and it got blocked this morning. Amazon just says my account did not pass the review. I can't think there are anything I did wrong, I followed every steps amazon ghost says. different address, different email, different phone, different computer MAC address, different IP, different card, I slightly misspelled my name. I reinstalled operation system. Very sad.
Somebody please help me out.

This is the worst time to start making accounts. Amazon is very strict these days as the holidays are coming up and they only want trusted sellers to be selling.

was your address in the same town? is your name unique? did you list the exact same item again from your last account and it is a rare higher end item?

That might be it. Unless you live in California or New York where

it's so populated then maybe your name and address variation would be less risky. Also in the condition notes, make sure you word things differently.

What's a 'steal' account?

My name is kind of unique, I am Chinese. and yes I listed same items from my last account and same town. But how can I overcome these problems? Does Amazon suspend accounts if they think you are someone they blocked before even they can not verify it? If I use totally different name, which banks or online banking do not care deposits to different name?

Got it now - steal=stealth:doh:

@GTran - not necessarily, perhaps ones of those Freudian slips....? Heh

Where did my Amazon account go? :eek::eek:














:D

I would use a name variation, most banks are fine with that but you

can do a search here and learn more. Some are more strict than others

List new items. Your other items along with your town may be what is getting you, too many similarities

I just got my E bay account suspended 2 weeks ago and was bored last night and decided to re-apply to Amazon after being suspended over year ago. Started listing immediately and 7 items sold immediately within 3 hours.

I used same name, cleared both cookies and flash cookies, turned off my router for a few hours to change IP address. But I made sure to use an address with a different zip code about 30 miles away.

My question is. How much ($) can I sell weekly without triggering an account review? I just want to dump my remaining inventory and recover my money. Even if it takes months to recover my money, I am satisfied... As long as I get enough to pay off my credit card.

I just don't want the 1 month account review to kick in and then after 1 month tell me I'm suspended.

From personal experience:

If you are going to list the same items from a previously banned account, I recommend a 10:1 ratio for same:new. List 10 new items in the same category (pick very slow selling ones) and I list them for about 40% higher than the lowest price. I've actually had to buy an item from another seller and ship it to a customer before because someone actually bought the item lol. But these steps will help you get rid of your inventory and prevent linking problems.

Do not list ALL of the items from a banned account on a new one. Depending on the number of items, I would spread them out over 2-3 accounts or more depending.
