Amazon PRIME accounts LOCKED
 

Hello,

I am using Amazon as supplied for items that I am selling. From 5-6 months I am using prime accounts with different IPs different VPS new cards and names. They worked fine but from 2 weeks they locking accounts after 1st order. I am using GC for buying. All accounts are with student prime and emails. Any solution here?

GCs and student prime accounts/e-mails seem to be big security flags.

Are your items popular items with possible dubious other sellers and listings? That could be the reason

I'll be taking Amazon to arbitration on my legit account that is locked. I will keep everyone posted on details

Tough to go to arbitration with an account that is not in your name, however legally I don't see why one couldn't..

Re: Amazon PRIME accounts LOCKED
 

Prime accounts are very difficult to open and keep active, especially using student and a GC.

A quality VCC which shows as credit, prepaid will raise flags from my experience.

using Prime account to run a dropshipping business could get you suspended,PRIME is now same or next day shipping and it is costing AMZN a lot of money,AMZN will tell you Prime shipping is for you,not for your customers

I am curious what would happen in Arbitration with Amazon with a legit user, but one that violated Amazon's gift card policy. It clearly states if you violate their rules they will keep the gift card balance.

So it's very clearly stated. Whether an arbitrator would agree that they can legally do this, is another story.

What rules are being broken? Dropahipping — impossible to prove commercial intent unless you admit it. If an arbitrator asks why you use gift cards, I respond, “because I can.”

AMZN does not like to lose money,so it can .
Just like a hairstylist,masseur,pedicure/manicure beautician,they have the right n ot to serv a customer

Dropshipping and using GC. These 2 things can be risky.

Amazon nowadays are trying to really restrict accounts even for the smallest things.

I never dropship and always use real financial sources for my business on AZ.
So I never had issues. I'm sure others here have more roundabout way that works, than my straight forward methods.

DROPSHIPPING is a very clever idea,but I have seen some sellers losing money when they can ill afford to.

Every industry has its ups and downs, we will have to adjust our dropshipping methods.
