Looking, good, its been an hour now! (Amazon)
 

My amazon account has been up for 90 minutes and counting, still no "Greetings from Amazon, we regret to inform you we have blocked your account"

Got a good feeling about this one.....

is it stealth?

yeah! Still going :)

My last 2 accounts have gone in 30 minutes to 1 hour! Had one that was about 3 minutes???

Honestly, I'd hold off the celebrating until it's been about a month. Not trying to crash your party, but trying to be realistic.

Hope it lasts longer this time, then you can upgrade your ID from getaroundebay to getaroundebay+amazon :)

did you do anything diffferently this time?

Gone to google chrome from IE7.

Address 60 miles away from my location.

That's very good. Both things would be on their checklist for tracking suspended ppl who are trying to get back on.

Well its been over 24 hours now, and still not kicked.

So looks OK.

A month or so selling random stuff then slowly slowly introduce my favourite amazon stock!

Best of luck man. I wish selling on these websites wasn't like filling out your taxes...every time you log in, some new challenge or BS measure.

Yeah well, its worth it in the end!!

I created a new stealth account with amazon as well. Will wait about 3 weeks before posting items I havn't sold before. Then gradually increase to include all my top selling items that made me a lot of $$$ in the past. I'm hesitant though as I know there is a way amazon keeps tabs on that. Do they keep records of past inventory and if your stealth matches to closely it is an automatic ban?

It's an automatic review, at the very least. Depends on how close the match is.

I am trying to open a stealth account also....a family member, with the same last name will open a bank account for me to use. Will that be a tip off?

Also, I'm using her home address, which is probably only 5 miles from my blocked address.

Will these things get me found out?

quite possibly.

Bank account really doesnt matter with amazon, caus there's no direct debits, they just pay you straight away!

i wonder if amazon knows where the bank account is located.....for example, you register a stealth account with information from NY, but when you put in your routing number on your check for the direct deposit from amazon, they know your from FL, then they might be able to link it somehow to your suspended account if it matches what the suspended account was selling.
i hope this makes sense.

Well in the UK we have "sort codes", you can google this and it will tell you what bank and where exactly the bank is, so I am sure, if an amazon employee so wished, could see where your account is located.

Although to be honest that really isn't much of an issue.

Since you could live in London, move to birmingham and you would keep the same sort code.

Same here. Part of the routing number identifies the bank (not the particular branch, just the company AFAIK), but if you're using a nationwide chain, who cares? I doubt they use this particular piece of information.

They might be using it. Say you open bank acct in small bank, they check routing which says NO WAY/NOT HERE... maybe busted.

Say you open bank with nationwide routing code, they check routing which says EVERYBODY WELCOME... not busted.

Just a possibility.

I think Vic put it a little more clearly than I did :thumb:

Is your account still up?
 

Is you account still up and running.

Yeah it is!!!
