I am starting an Amazon Ghost account, Am I doing everything right?
 

Sense I have been apart of this forum I have read a ton of stuff about people getting suspended from amazon and their ghost accounts not working. Or their account will work for a year then they will get suspended again. Well I want to build Just one Amazon Ghost Account that will work for a life time. But the more I read on this forum it seems like that is not possible. No one ever talks about how good or long their Ghost accounts last. My question is, is it possible for to start a Ghost account and have it last for years and years?

Here are some things that I am doing to set up my Ghost account (I got most of this from the book Amazon Ghost)

I just got a new computer
changed the MAC address on my router
got a ip address from a VPN (static ip address) I will change my compuers clock to match the time zone of my ip address location.
opened a new user on my computer and a VMware inside that new user
Got a new email (and disabled the images)
got a new address from the UPS store (it an actual street address)
Set up an LLC and used the new address for the LLC (I'll do all my business under the LLC's name)
set up a Bank account under the LLC's name
I got a new phone number using google voice

I am setting up a website as well so once I get started listing my Items I will do the brand registry and register my brands and have a legit websites. This will be a legit business. Do you think this will help with not getting suspended? Also I want to do FBA as well!

Now I have not actually pulled the trigger on the new account just yet. I just want to make sure that I have done everything that I can possibly do to start a successful amazon ghost account and be able to keep it for years!
Please let me know if there is something else that I need to do before starting my amazon ghost account?

Sorry I just have so many questions!

Always good to ask questions :) I am not a big fan of Google voice use however...

If its a new computer, there is no need to use vmware unless you plan on having multiple accounts on the same computer

As long as your IP is fresh or you're using 24vc for a new IP you should be good to go

Everything else looks solid :thumb:

what is wrong with google voice? is it not good enough?

Re: I am starting an Amazon Ghost account, Am I doing everything right?
 

Its highly abused, pretty much anything that is free is going to be highly abused and they recycle numbers often

That makes sense! What would you suggest? Just buying a track phone of some sort?

Re: I am starting an Amazon Ghost account, Am I doing everything right?
 

Google voice, VOIP, phone number apps, prepaid phones. All will work fine for just creating a single account

Everything looks fine. Since you want life time. Why don't you just add another line on your currently phone line?

I thought about doing this. But I am young and just in college and will be moving around and eventually get a new phone later on. So I will just wait for a few more years. Its way more expensive to just add another line as well. I would be screwed if I added a new line and then it didn't work to set up my account, then I would be stuck paying each month for an extra line.
