New Accounts blocked on creation.

[Ninja Seller]

Recently any newly open account seems to be immediately upon creation or the next couple of days be blocked! Without warning or indication. This even though that congrats you are ok to sell up 1500 message comes up.

Dam Dam Dam

This time of year is probably the worst time to create accounts.

[Ninja Seller]

yeah but at east you would think an instant review. Not a complete block. even if i email them to enquire they say your account asscoiated with this email doesnt exist!

Makes no sense. unless they know its a stealth account....

[GreenBean]

They know.

You are not being stealth enough to succeed.

If you have anything similar, that is zap the account material.

Totally revise your procedures.

Good Luck

[Ninja Seller]

How do you mean?

I use VM, VPNs, everything is different.

[GreenBean]

There will be small things similar to other accounts.

[Taking The Micky]

You are being linked, simple.

List your method here

[Ninja Seller]

create Email
Create VM
New VPN (US)
open amazon uk site on VM
sign up for selling using UK PHN#
Account created and then add Inventory

[GreenBean]

US VPN for UK listings? Did the suspended account(s) have that?
Why use that method?
Define inventory? Was even ONE piece the same as old inventory?

You are using a US Ip and UK phone number could be an issue.

Are you listing the same inventory.

I assume for each account you set up after one is suspended you are using totally new info.
NEW IP
NEW PHONE NUMBER
NEW VM

Try just using a new user on you PC rather than a VM.
Get an Ip from 123 (fresh)

Everything has to be new and different.

you are probably right, but not for certain.
I ever used a foreign ip address to create a UK account, it was ok, working perfectly for 2 years till it's closure.
I doubt something wrong with his VPN or pc.
if want a VPN, go for 123.
I always buy a cheap pc to create a new account, it's simple.

[GreenBean]

If a new account goes and relists old inventory this can happen.

[Ninja Seller]

The inventory is always new. To test it i list only one or 2 just to see how it goes. and it flopped.

about the IP, may be you are right. maybe it is an issue now .

[Callidus]

OK here is the crack. Amount of testing I have done to get the right balance is unreal here is my findings and it works well.

1. I will not use a FREE email address to create any Amazon accounts - far too many suspensions when setting up Amazon accounts
2. ALWAYS mix up the VCC / Gift Card you are using to setup the account, I have used one for a while that works well setting up an account. I have had to change to another because using this one to set them up gets the account suspended. However, this card STILL works if you need to add it to an account that has already been setup and the current card has expired.
3. Phone number - I prefer to use phone forwarding AND a mobile number on the account.
4. Add a bank account immediately - you have your bank in your REAL NAME at Barclays for example, when it asks you to enter the name on the bank usually you enter the stealth name...DONT...if you're using a PRO account enter the business name used on the Amazon.
5. If using VM don't 'link clone' use a fresh clone, I am sure a lot of people use linked clone and then link all their accounts together as they do not know how to use VM properly.
6. I know others do have views different to mine but when creating accounts using new windows users my results are poor. % of accounts that stay up are low. % of accounts that stay up and work for long long periods of time are created on VMware.

Just my findings and I create a LOT of them.

Using Gift cards and VCC's that everyone knows about will give you a headache for a month of Sundays.

You can never use the same IP or user account. This is BASIC

[Ninja Seller]

Sorry when I mentioned IP it wasn't about it being the same IP address. It was about the location .

What is meant by linked clone?


If you enter the stealth bank account number then the bank my become suspicious and freeze the bank account giving new hassle because they will see the payments coming in a stealth name.

[Callidus]

Thats why you choose a bank which accept mismatched name deposits. Most do accept Lloyds and TSB

For this point: Add a bank account immediately - you have your bank in your REAL NAME at Barclays for example, when it asks you to enter the name on the bank usually you enter the stealth name...DONT...if you're using a PRO account enter the business name used on the Amazon.

I created a new account added the stealth name and bank account - the account looks fine but you're saying the bank account needs to be in the company name?

Whats the best way forward with this one?

[munkron]

Is this with Amazon USA as well, or Amazon UK?

I just prefer to use the business name.

Firstly, I do it because anyone knows you cannot use personal accounts for business in the long run, they will shut you down. Business accounts carry fees, personal accounts don't.

If you're a sole proprietor, you wouldn't be running a business under your own name on the bank account it would be a business name. I just think it looks a lot better as a company name added into the 'name' section, even if the bank account is personal.

James291 - dont worry too much, just my personal opinion, carry on as you are.

What about Halifax then?

Its owned by Llyods.

I remember once before when i used stealth name with my halifax account, the bank actually asked me about the name. I was surprised they knew.

[Callidus]

I don't recommend Halifax to anyone, im one of the minority but others will tell you it's fine. Just stay away from that group is MY advice.
