Getting back on Amazon.
 

Thanks for all the info trying to filter it all thru my little brain. Anyways to quick questions regarding selling

1) Will Amazon accept Simon Gift Card?

2) Is a mobile phone OK for Amazon?

Thanks,

Whelp.
I signed up for amazon.ca today.
i used a safeway gift card with the mastercard logo-it had $1 left on it.
That went through.
I then used my tracfone and that went through.
My one item has been up and running successfully for one hour.
I will keep you posted.

I have heard gift cards are fine with Amazon and I don't believe Amazon is very strict on the type of phone you use.

Ive heard Ebay Stealth methods don't work with Amazon.

^^^Correcto! Seems like you need to use a new computer as well.

Switching NIC is the trick if you don't want to buy another computer.

They seem fine, but they could be blacklisted!!!

You have $1 left on your card. Amazon will sometimes deduct $1 every once in a while or so from that card. Then they will ask you to replace that card if the balance falls below that. This happened to me. I started with a $3 card. I dont know why they take the money but if you dont update the card - they may suspend your account. So you might want to add funds to the card if possible or just put a $25 card there.:yar:

Agreed. Why risk it? Is selling on Amazon so unimportant to you that you're only willing to invest $1 to get on? I would replace that card asap or add funds to it, as noted by NO_ID.

LMAO it happened to me, but then my account got deleted after a new Gift Card was added!

Lol, maybe you should start out with a good balance from the beginning!

I used a VCC at first, then I added the Gift Card.(Amazon are deleting my accounts not SUSPENDING them)

Just out of curiosity, which gift cards are you guys using for amazon?

I had used Gift2Go and TD Banknorth, I cant say exactly they worked or didnt because I still have accounts that have not been shutdown yet.

Prepaid Card
 

Hi,

i advise you use official gift cards.

I use Wal Marts Moneycard or GreenDots Visa or Mastercard with no problem.

You can buy GreenDots Visa/Mastercard for 14,95 (4,95 for the card, and 10 $ is for you).

Every Non-US Card VCC-Card closed my account in about a minute.

Greets

Patrick

ps: all accounts with this cards are active and running very good

Thanks for the suggestions guys but doesn't greendots require non-stealth info (ie address). And is there any limit for the greendots accounts?

GreenDot
 

Greendot checks only name and SSN, not the adress, type every adress you want in their form use that on Amazon.com.

Plus don't buy anything on Amazon with it. I read this somewhere else but why chance it.

Awesome- thanks for the input dennis- and Hercules, I actually don't plan on buying anything with it- I just want it to have a balance on it

Yea but same name as suspended user in similar area and ip range will get the account suspended?

i want to know about this too... i had an account that got suspended... waited 6 months and made a new one with all new info... then the EXACT DAY i could withdraw the $ i made over the last 2 weeks my account said it was limited to a previous suspended account. ugh!

i reallllllllllllllllly want to get selling on here again. any help i would so appreciate!

Maybe you made the same mistake I did. During a stupid-moment, while updating my seller info on Amazon, I entered the routing number and account number for the bank account I had already used on the account I had suspended earlier this year. I did everything else right. I got distracted for just a moment. I meant to put in the info for the new account I just opened but flipped my notebook to the wrong page and OOOPS!

From this day forward, whenever I make a new login for any site, I will unplug my phone, turn off CNN, extinguish all smoking material, close the curtains, pray, take a valium, and count from 31 to 19 in reverse. Then fill in the blanks.
