Live video verification
 

I saw it pop up once last week and again yesterday.

Before this I saw it pop up randomly on the Canadian platform

I'm hoping its just a once in a while thing, which they will test and learn they will take a huge decrease in the amount of sellers/revenue they get, and eventually get rid of it.

Reason I started this thread was to see if anyone has actually gone through it to provide more info about the process, as it could be helpful to everyone else that may eventually run into it

TBH if they roll something like this out it will be easier to get legit accounts created, but impossible for stealth.

Re: Live video verification
 

sounds good to me. I don't do Amazon stealth as I hear it's already near impossible. plus it takes money out of the pockets of Amazon workers.

Re: Live video verification
 

I am more concerned that you still need to do utility bill verification even passed this video verification

Re: Live video verification
 

I have not seen this yet..

Not good news for stealth..

Lets see how it unfolds.

That's actually good news to not see anyone run into it yet, but its only been less than 24 hours

Didn't take a screenshot, but it gave 3 options.

1st option was to schedule a live video call with an amazon rep 3-5 days out choosing a time from the hours 8-5 in 30 minute booking intervals.

2nd option was to have an amazon rep come to your house

3rd option was to meet at an amazon location

Not choosing one, or simply cancelling would keep verification pending, can't complete it until going through one of them

:pop2:

Saw it on Monday last week and on Saturday, before that I only saw it once a few months back on the Canada platform. Seems like they're randomly testing it. Lets see if others run into it within a week

Re: Live video verification
 

Now that Amazon has a new option, Amazon sends you a postcard with a verification code. When you receive the postcard, enter the verification code on the website

For stealth there are ways around this, address forwarding services etc

but ye just makes it harder.

Anyone else seen that?

Re: Live video verification
 

Just created uk account nothing is changed yet, hope they will give few months before implementing these **** here

Re: Live video verification
 

I doubt this is something they would do with everyone,they will def lose a ton of popularity open up a lane for a new competitor.Its prolly random triggers,i make accounts often and havent seen this.The most ive seen is different looking forms,but never video chat.Good luck with that if they want to do it for everyone.

Re: Live video verification
 

before you create your account you get an address from an address service. Which there are several out there
Use that to create the account.

When you receive the code at that address, the company you pay for the address will forward it to your real address...

Update..

If you miss the appointment that was setup, you'll need to reschedule again, no other option but to go through it on shops that get it.

Re: Live video verification
 

how many accounts you seen with it?

Re: Live video verification
 

3 in total, 1 on Canada about 3-4 months back ish

Then 2 on the US site within 7 days of each other

I'm surprised no one else has seen it... But thats actually good news if no one has run into it yet

Re: Live video verification
 

I wonder if this will mitigate the necessity for this utility bill stuff.
