Amazon Shut me down in 3 hrs

[cheapandeasy]

I just opened a new Amazon account and they shut me down in 3 hours. I used a vmware workstation, new corporate name, new address, new phone#, New bank account. All totally new info and a new IP provided by a VPN service. I think I listed to aggressively to quick. I listed 8 products, with 10 of each available, and I made sure I was the cheapest price.
What do you think? Was that my mistake? Or, is there some measure that amazon is taking now that I am not aware of.
Thank you.

Your problem is in red

Hmm. Good to know. Do you think that is worse that the aggressive listing? What else do you think may have caused it? Thanks.

For my next attempt, all of the accout info has been established outside of my area. Would you recomend dial up, or perhaps a VPS?
Thanks.

Dial-up is best. Also, I hear VPS is OK

Really sounds like the VPN service knocked you out.

[cheapandeasy]

Thank you guys. Looking into VPS services now. Thanks.

How about connecting thru your iPhone or any other smartphone, use it as a hotspot that should be safe too right ?

[cheapandeasy]

I think in my case, no. I am not in the same state as the account info that is prepared for my next Amazon account. Otherwise, yes, right? Obviously I am still new to this.

Try using your phone or a dongle. I dont think VPN service works for Amazon. i have had success with a dongle

Amazon is much more into tracking than ebay, but I found that dongle works fine, but if you sell vero be ready to be deleted

[rsot]

Phone tethering can also work well

VPN works for me, but VPS is a better option.

Yea, I'm thinking dial up might be the ticket. I can at least use a phone # near where my account info is and get an IP in that vicinity. I'm thinking a dongle or the tethering method would reveal my actual location which is hundreds of miles from where my amazon account info will say I am. Comments?

[cheapandeasy]

Or VPS...?

[sax4]

I just had my Amazon UK account go down after a few days, "my selling privileges have been removed", didn't even go under review. Was using VPN but this wasn't the reason, as I have another new account working fine. I was also well under the estimated "velocity limit" Perhaps the items I was selling were too high risk.

Almost anything you can sell easily on amazon is high risk, just take it very slow the first 2 months at least

But rsot, I thought that VM Workstation is supposed to be very effective? I'm trying to figure this out for myself right now.

Does dongle IP work the same way as dial-up, in the sense that you get a new, fresh, untraceable IP every time you disconnect and then reconnect? Thx Thx!

Make sure you change mac address as well if use same laptop and vmware

[a.v.limited]

Dongles are way forward if you ask me
