I WOULD Think if you have an AMZN account and been using your credit card/bank account and someone gives you a gift card,you can use it.
but if your AMZN account uses giftcards only and send your purchases as gift to all over the world,then it is obvious AMZN knows you are a dropshipper.
Did AMZN ban all your accounts because you use gift cards or because you are a dropshipper or both?
How is the return rate from your buyers?

Most of the accounts had gift cards use blocked. The aged account allowed us to use the remaining balance. Two of the new accounts were just shut down and can't login. We also had a business account that ran for a while and then had password/login issues that can never get resolved.

So its 6 accounts total. The new accounts and business account can't be accessed at all. The older personal accounts can be used but no gift card. The real accounts all had real credit cards. The last test run didn't have prime, so no card needed. About 100.00 of gift cards were redeemed and it shut down.

Most of the gift cards, about a grand in all, were lost.

Everything points to gift card usage, but it could be shipping to all of the different addresses. Any suggestion on how to tell?

Our return rates are very low.

I just find out from another forum,dont know if you guys know already,AMZN now allows anyone to report AMZN prime members dropshipping from AMZN-
THERE IS A LINK WHICH ALLOWS ONE TO REPORT=

IF YOU would like to report that I suspect that an Amazon User is posing as a Seller on eBay and is using their Amazon Prime account to drop ship items for sale on eBay. This violates Amazon Prime rules (and eBay rules). If they are a legitimate Re-Seller that's fine but I received only gift receipts with the order so that seems to indicate they are misusing their Prime Account.
Gift Receipt numbers are:

My wife and I have been dropshipping from Amazon for a while now. It has worked well for us. We are buying high-quality discount Gift Cards (with as much verification we can get) and then redeeming them on Amazon.

Recently, they closed an account down with high sales volume. We opened a new account, eventually, that one closed, and then each newer account are closed too.

We recently went through some serious medical issues and this is all we have. We need to keep our sales channels working.

So, I don't know what I need from this site, but someone has got to be using gift cards or another medium to increase their margins.

If anyone can point us in the right direction, that be great. We would be forever grateful and hopefully, pass on a tip or two in exchange.

Thank you in advance.
