Followed all instructions and still got kicked off

jhowell132 · #1 10-23-2015

Well, I was back on Amazon for 1 hour until I was kicked off for my account being associated with an account that had recently been suspended. I followed the manual exactly. I honestly have no idea what happened. This is not my first rodeo on getting back on AZ, but I purchased the manual again to make sure I was up to date with any changes. I really am at a loss. Anyone else have this happen? Any advice?

You need to tell us every step you took before we can help at all.

But pretty much,
New everything: bank account, credit card, address, phone, name, ip, tax info(or leave empty at first)
Clean PC/Vmware etc...

jhowell132 · #3 10-23-2015

New everything. New Router, different MAC address, different IP address, new name, new phone, new email, new credit card, new listings(I had listed 4). Completely wiped computer before getting back on. I did everything the exact same way that I had done 2 years ago. It worked back then for 2 years. There has to be something else that is being flagged now.

as Yankee says, list your methods, you have done something seriously wrong to be linked so quick.

jhowell132 · #5 10-24-2015

I just posted what I did. Can anyone help me...

Did you use your banned name and address on the new account?

yankee · #7 10-24-2015

I will be building five new accounts tomorrow on one device.
I will report if I have any issues. I dont expect any but you never know.

Sometimes, even when you do everything right, you lose an account. It could be due to anything. It could be the phone number you used was recycled. It could be something on your system that you don't realize.

If you used the same PC, that could be a factor. I always use either a VPS or VMWare.

Amazon definitely has better technology than eBay does. eBay is easy compared to Amazon. Account creation on Amazon is more expensive and you lose more accounts on average than you do on eBay. I don't think of a new account as being out of the woods (as far as their initial security check goes) until 7 days have passed.

LOL I'd get a refund....that eBook hasn't been updated in about 3 years...

Hercules · #10 10-25-2015

The ebook is fine. Only the CC has to have something on it at all times.
Clearing cookies won't do it, but as in the ebook you need vmware...read.
or the virtual PC thing.

The book is not fine when members can't read it and be up and running without consulting other sources.

i.e. Vanilla Visa no longer works.

Totally agree, the book is fine if you bought it 3 years ago and have lean't along the way. However if you have never had a stealth account the book would be very difficult to follow. Why do you think so many new members ask about MAC address, cos the book says amazon can track it.

That's exactly my point. Also, gift cards...constant questions about them. Yes, the forum is an EXCELLENT resource, I just personally think one shouldn't be required to read them if they already purchased a book on the subject. That's all I have to say on the matter.

Your Vanilla Visa doesn't work, mine are fine.

There must be hundreds of people if not more saying that most all VCC dont work including vanilla.

Several members have indicated that accounts that had previous Vanilla Visa cards on them still work for a period of time afterwards.

If you have an account that you can create TODAY and put a vanilla visa on, I'd be impressed. I'd say you were lying, but I'd be impressed you had the balls to lie about it anyways.

rsot · #17 10-26-2015

Sellers here provide VCCs that work for Amazon fyi

The other day I had to renew an expired card on an old account so I went into the drawer to find one. It was a Vanilla Visa I don't know how old though. Maybe PP has a flag for a set of newer numbers. Maybe the last 8 numbers are flagged on newer cards.

Uh....you do realize this is the AMAZON forum, correct?

No one ever said Vanilla didn't work for eBay/PayPal....

Oh so sorry. I will go back to my cave now.

There are so many factors that can get you linked.

If you're doing multiple accounts on the same computer, try vmware.

I've had completely different accounts linked using unique information between user accounts. Since switching to vmware, I've had no problems.
