Verification - using another person

Foxhound · #1 06-30-2017

I am concerned about verification coming down the pike

I have a stealth amz account.
The account is a pro seller account.
3 years after I was suspended I moved to a new address.
The stealth account is in a fictitious name.
My original account was in my name before it was suspended.
My spouse has a different last name than me.
My spouse is a director in my LLC so she can be added to the bank account and receive bank statements in her name c/o the business.

I have received amazon fulfilled packages that were shipped to me in my name at our new residence. These were gifts others sent.
My wife has received amazon fulfilled packages that were shipped to her in her name at our new residence.

What kind of danger would I be in if I did the following:

1) Change the registered name (a fictitious one) on my seller account to my wife's name (she has never had a seller account before, but she does have a separate buyer's account)

Do I run the risk of getting a verification check just for this?

Would I then have to provide a different credit card number?

My concern is that if/ when they ask for verification I'm in a pickle, because I cannot provide a valid id for a fictitious name.

Thanks in advance

They may request documentation if you change such details on your account. If your wife has those documents then it shouldn't be a problem to get verified, but you never know.

Hi Elmo,

I got your PM - I appreciate it.

I guess my concern is do you think they would link my wife to me?

I was suspended a few years ago, we have both received amazon packages as recipients at our new address. We also received packages separately in our names at our old address.

I would not supply our current address - I would use the business address which is at another location.

I am thinking I would send in her passport.

Your thoughts are appreciated

Better idea:

Do NOTHING. IF (IF!) your account is suspended in the future, use her name to open a new account.

Also remember: If your wife uses her account at your new address (i.e. uses the same IP) you might have bigger problems by using her name....just a thought.
