Notice: Policy Warning

[BKMoney]

Hi, has anyone ever received such warning from amazon? I've been selling for over 2 years with this account and have never encountered anything like that...

Well, did you use a 2nd account to leave yourself feedback? If not then it is weird.

How do they find out that you leave feedback for your 2nd account? The stealth is completely separated.

Please elaborate BKMoney

Yeah I've done it a couple of times but that was months ago... was using VMWare, VPN, etc.. I'm not sure how they detected it. For VPN I used HMA, maybe they have most HMA IP ranges flagged... Good news is my account is still live.

Doesnt matter if it was months ago or yesterday, it can still be traced back to you.
Im guessing it was your VPN that got you linked

amazon has systems in place that detect many things.

If there is a suspicion of policy misuse, they have the means to discover it.

OP got sprung, well & good.




ps: HMA is blacklisted

[BKMoney]

Yeah I figured HMA was blacklisted... won't be using it anymore.

You got lucky that you did not get the axe...avoid repetition
