creating a VPS/VPN for Amazon?

(|-|4/\/\3L30|\| · #1 05-13-2009

I just had another account go down, still can't figure out what they're tracking. I tried different things with bank accounts / phone numbers / address modifications. Seems to me like someone said in a post before that they do somehow track either flash cookies, cookies, or possibly MAC address or something else.

I have flash uninstalled so I didn't bother look for flash cookies on my system. I know it's not cookies. Even separate windows accounts did not help.

Also someone said they track by categories you list in: whether they do or not I am not sure, but I am getting blocked BEFORE I ever get to listing. I just click on a random item on the homepage and click "sell one like this" to get to the seller registration. So in my case it's not the category.

So whatever it might be at this point I think they do track the system by something. I saw a few posts where someone said that the best way is to go to the library. I'm not doing that. If all else fails I'll change my laptop.

What I'm going to try now is VPS or VPN, not sure which one yet. I saw this post on modee's website ( I accidentally got there by googling something, he did build it afterall lol), one guy there said:

"i was suspended from amazon 3 times with different people name and address (when i was a newbie and dint know anything...) then i got a VPS and new address and credit card and the account was working fine for more than 6 months then i got suspended again( i think i answered one of the emails from one of the customer from my suspended ip address info) ,what do you think modee ,could it be the reason that i was suspended or this has nothing to do with it?"

I've never been on Amazon that long lol. Is he talking about VPS or maybe he means VPN? Can someone tell me? Whichever it is, can someone brief me on how to set this up? Whatever amazon is tracking, this should take care of it.

Thanks

what kind of credit card are you using? do not add the bank info until after the account rests a week. VPN on amazon is BAD...don't use one. make sure you have a new ip. they do not track MAC addresses. make sure your phone number is in the given area (also same state) and the account is being created in a 70 mile radius of your ip address. one of these things is most likely blocking you at the "amazon gate".

also...DO NOT BLOCK FLASH COOKIES...amazon hates this and will not let you make a seller account.
