Creating new account in the wifes name

[adam34996]

My current long standing 10 year seller account recently got gated in Sony products which is nearly 25% of our sales. I am going to try and get them the docs they want but even though we are a legit business I am not holding my breath that I can make an appropriate purchase through an authorized distributor.

Plan B is to open a new account with my wifes info. Keep in mind my current account does not have my name its in the business. I just purchased a commercial building for my real estate business so I plan to start with the fresh account at that location. New address, New IP, new computer ect...

Question is - Even though this will be a "real" person. Should I wait until Q4 is over due to the extra security measures? Anything else I should be thinking about that I am not?

Lastly - Can I open the account in a business name if I choose to instead of her personal name?

That original account, if you're a legitimate business with all your licenses and docs, I doubt you'll have trouble. Sony is still a high risk brand, but you got nothing to lose right now.

Yes , you can open an account in a business name, but you'll still have to provide a personal name / contact name

It might not. But I believe all other accounts are still able to sell Sony cameras. I have 2 competitors that I know and I have reached out to them - none of there accounts received this Sony email and they can sell these items without issues.

I even see just launched sellers in certain categories. So that makes me think a new account might not be gated right now

Did you ask AMZN why you and not the others?

It's the category that's usually gated, not the accounts themselves.

Since you have a legitimate business, why not ask Sony for some documentation that you can show amazon?

He sells used cameras.
