Lucky me I made 15 accounts month ago and all of them are still up. I said this before stock up on your amazon accounts before it get more restricted . Im 100% sure you have to send in copy of ID is soon to happen in the United States. You better try to figure this problem out before it becomes more harder . I think im going to stock up on another 20 accounts before this happens .

Appears to have already happened. After my gif card failed, the next day i recieved the following email :

no, it was a US Account. Card number i used started with 5420 . Although the guy who sold me this said its for Amazon non-US.

I dont think that really matters in the scheme of things?

Uh oh, could this be because soo many Chinese sellers are flooding the market lately on Amazon and cashing in on their counterfeits so they tightened the security up?

Anyone find a specific card that is working? I just finished cleaning up my system for a new stealth account and was going to buy a Vanilla Visa Gift Card. :(

Some Vanilla cards are working, as I said I opened an account earlier this week. It does appear that certain gift cards are now being blocked. I suspect the main reason is that amazon cannot make a charge over $25 on these cards and are stung with with AZ claims, unpaid seller fees etc.

[Superfly101]

You're probably, right. How about the one post above referring a $100 Gift card from Walmart. Which one was that?

[Superfly101]

They said it was denied, the $100 Gift Card they bought from, Walmart

I can only find the Mastercards in the $15 denomination but there's also a 3 Pack of VISA's but they are $25 denomination with $4.95 activation fee for the 3 pack.

[bombztreeez]

I tried the MasterCard starting with 5303
no luck

I posted earlier in this thread that I had (2) Azon seller accounts.

The first account I setup 3 weeks ago using the vanilla visa gift card went ok.

About 2 weeks later after i sent in some inventory to FBA, Azon tried to charge the gift card for some shipping fees (yes the amount on the card was sufficient to cover the fees) and it failed.

anyways I've noticed on the back of the card, it says "select any 4 digit pin
at first use" it also has a bar code on the back.

My other account I set up earlier this week using a visa vanilla card, set up ok as well...

but I'm looking at the back of this card and it doesn't say anything about a PIN or have a bar code on the back of this card.

Do you think when azon tried to charge the card, that the "first use PIN activation feature" on that Vanilla gift card, would not let amazon charge it as a credit?

vanilla visa worked form e a few weeks ago havent rtreied it since bc i had 5 accts running till i ran into some issues

yes after i brought it i registered the card on the website they have for their giftcards and then used the exact same details.it says invalid credit card .tried to input the details more than a dozen times and it gives the same issue

the last successful account I made using vanilla was may 28th .after that the vanilla as well as this rbc giftcard have both not worked.when it says credit card is invalid on amazon,there is a tab for details.when i click that
it says prepaid cards cannot be used which is why i am confused as to why some people are able to use the silver vanilla card while mine doesnt work .
