Will New Laptop Be a quick easy fix?
 

Hi, After a year and a half of selling on Amazon and doing well over 200,000.00 in sales my account was suspended. I appealed but was denied.

My live-in girlfriend, who helped me with the business, has never had an account. I'm just going to use here name with a different address I guess.

I'm worried about linking accounts. I do most of my work from my house on my home Desktop. If I buy a new laptop, which I need anyways, and use it strictly for Amazon is there any other thing I need to worry about other than changing the IP? Will the mac address be different even though I'm connecting through the same router? Obviously there will be no issue with cookies.

Also a few other small things I worry about.

My address registered on Amazon is different than the address I was going to use this time. However, there were a few instances when I sent someone that address to return an item via Amazon Messages. Its not saved on Amazon anywhere however.

Should I use a different post office? The post office I used was in a neighboring city than my actual address is located and will be again using that post office. I guess Amazon could see where the items were mailed from by the tracking info and get suspicious.

Thanks for any help you can give

how about just using a wireless usb card. that will change your mac address. i am not too familiar with amazon but i am not sure if they can see the router mac

If you print a USPS label out and your return address is 90210 and you drop it off at the post office in 90211 it will be scanned as if they received it at 90210. The tracking info will say it was accepted at 90210.

What I'm saying is

When I run tracking on items i sent

They say "Package accepted at Random, Ohio"

If my packages are mailed from the same post office Amazon could see from my tracking numbers they were accepted from the same post office as my previous's accounts packages


Is this being paranoid?

No quick fixes!
You need to make sure all these are different:
Name
Address
Phone number
IP address
Credit card
Bank Account
You can use the same computer so long as you use a different User Account.
However, disable or remove any network card you previously used (it has a MAC code they can see)
Its also advisable to change your browser too.
Some people reckon they can ID you from your product range (!) and your SKU numbers, so take care there too.
Good luck!
