Will this work
 

Hi , thanks for the advice in advanced.

I was previously suspended By Amazon several years ago around 2012, and have been using stealth amz ever since.

My question is can my brother open a sellers account all the information will be different i.e.

Full Name
Ip address
Debit info
Bank info
and brand new clean computer. Also the account will not be selling any of the same items.

The only factor which remains the same is the home address. Is this enough for Amazon to block the account ? is it worth trying this ?

Its possible it may work, but I wouldn't give up the stealth accounts as it could end up getting limited

Thanks James,

I am taking the plunge and going down the Private labelling route , so I really want a solid legit account, so that in the event amazon tries to mess me around I have a better standing if I need to challenge them.

Thanks again.

Stealth accounts are still super useful in the long run. Your legit account WILL face troubles even if it's only down for 1-4 weeks, which means you'll lose money and can't operate.

I don't know if you realize this but I ran into some stupid trouble that's not my doing and my ASIN is still down for 3 weeks now. So I have a back up account running already and it's covering that.

I would never knowingly re-use any same old information, even if its been 6+ years.

Its pretty easy to just get a mailbox at a ups or mom and pa mailbox store, and dedicate that new mailbox as your new mailing address.

Other than that looks good :thumb:

Understood, its not my preferred method however of course the info on my brothers ID must match that on the Amazon account. I guess I will give it a try and find out.

Just clarifying that your brother knows you are using his ID...as you have implied :)

You could always do passport which doesn't have an address on there if you're using legit information.

Whereas a driver license would have the address on it etc

Private label products don't last forever . I would just put them on your current account. You may be getting ahead of your self.

Yes of course :suspicious:

Maybe so, but I defo need a legit account.

I have seen PL products last several years. In addition to that, I plan to launch 4-5 products over the coming year, not to mention this is an attempt to create a brand which I can the market outside of Amazon.

True , but future check on the electoral roll or search via companies house would easily reveal address information.

There is the possibility to use a mail box, but again many of these services reuse addresses which have been used on Amazon. Personally I don't think address is enough evidence to warrant the suspension of an account.

I guess theres no harm in trying
