When John's acct gets suspended, then you think Jennifer's get suspended too? => NO.
The thing is that the OP doesn't know how to make things different.
The OP should read and think about the above example.
It's true. His username tells all " Rippedoffagain ". NO wonder!
maybe you will see a new username " NoMoreRipped" in 2015 ....LOL |
why on earth would you make a comment when you have no idea what you are talking about. It would be great if people stopped commenting; "my opinion" is no on a subject they know jack about and offering nothing constructive other than ohh thats wrong.
Its pretty clear amazon will not suspend you for once having the same ip as someone else. That is something I have always said and is not what I am saying here. Im not sure what your example is meant to show other than you miss the point?
for a start if someone on ip 111.222.333.44 gets suspended then someone on the same network pops up on 11.22333.99 then yes, of course that looks incredibly suspicious.
The last numbers of the ip after the last dot refer to the network the computer is on, this is normally limited to around 150 computers but can be higher. if you are running 2 accounts all from the same network its like giving amazon a heads up. if you are running several then thats an even bigger clue.
If all they are doing as OP suggests is changing the last numbers of the ip and it remains on the same network sooner or later those ips are going to be recycled. Now amazon clearly wont ban you for having the same ip once.
But imagine having several accounts sharing IPs. Amazon know all of these accounts are on the same network. Out of the millions of ip possibilities here are several accounts all located in a close proximity and all on the same network. well there is red flag one
Now these several accounts dont just luckily share the Ip of a different account once, they will do it over and over again as the number of ip s on a network are very limited in the wider sense. so there is red flag 2
There could be some product crossover red flag 3
do they all lack bank account details/ a real credit/ business info card
red flag 4
and then all it takes is one account to get suspened. once that happens all of these other accounts will slowly but surely get linked and suspended. Amazon will trace the one banned accounts ip and they will be able to link it quite easily to most o the other accounts.
Now I know OP has not given off all of those red flags (real credit card) but this is how amazon link people with multiple accounts. Ive seen this happen t before and it to this day it looks like it was the Ip getting them linked. That was the only thing they changed and they both went from Op's situation to having long term accounts
Ive never said this is 100% the problem. But its certainly where I would start.
The fact that one account gets linked then the rest go down should tell you everything you need to know. Its either your products are getting linked, your ip or they are linking your computer. I know where my money is.
