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.

Just curious , When you enter the bank info into AMAZON, what did you put in for Account Holder ? The name of the AMAZON account ? or the real Bank account Holder ?

I think I should put in the name of the AMAZON Account, because my Bank account has my real name, but would this cause a problem in the future ?

Use the name as it is registered to Amazon. Just don't use an account they've seen before.

did you get suspended for putting in a suspended bank account #?

Yes I did. I wasn't paying attention when typing it in. I opened my Amazon notebook and flipped to the bank page. Instead of typing the new bank info, I was on the wrong line and was typing in the bank that was logged for my OLD and defuct Amazon account.

New rule for me: It's OK to drink and drive, but don't slurp NyQuil through a straw while jamming to Hendrix and updating Amazon all at the same time... Nothing good can come from such behaviour.

how long after you put in your bank info did you get suspend?

Before the screen finished reloading.

Back on AMAZON and start selling ... just receive email of my first marketplace payment is on the way ..

Question though, Should I increase my sale volume now ?

I created this account on Oct, start selling on Nov, wait at least 2 weeks in between till I received email from AMAZON -" your account is ready to sell ... ", then start my listing, sell for 3 days, not too much, then I got this email saying my marketplace payment is on the way to my bank. ALL RIGHT !!!

Is now still too early to launch my full sales ?

How long can this stealth AMAZON account last ? Can it last for 1 year ?

I think thinking fresh is the key, what's the difference between a new person that opens an amazon account and a suspended person? they have fresh new everything nothing to get linked on accident. A brand new netbook, prepaid wireless broadband, giftcard, prepaid phone, stealth info written down with bank info all put together like a nice little package just waiting to get opened and used strictly for ebay, paypal and amazon. Then do all your regular surfing on your personal computer, The only way you could get linked is if you sign in from your personel computer but you wouldn't do that because you wouldn't memorize the user ids and password, you'd keep that info written down with your netbook on the other side of the room.

^^^^That's exactly what i'm doing on Amazon and its working good.My new account is under a 30 day review right now for high sales.Hopefully that clears.If it doesn't who cares.My laptop costed 300 dollars but i have 2000 dollars in sales.If the account goes under ill sell the laptop on Ebay and just buy a new one....Maybe one of these days ill meet up with Vic and buy him some drinks and let him show me how to use the same computer on Amazon.

So i made a new amazon account about a week ago... My pc crashed so I had to get the whole motherboard and hard drive replaced so I figured eh ill give it a go... Listed one item and waited a week now I just listed 3 more and I sold one already now I'm crossing my fingers to see if this will be successful!!

I just opened another 6 days ago and I listed about 25 items hopefully everything goes smooth again.

You can increase your sales to whatever you like. Just be prepared to get it under 30 day review where you can't withdraw funds for that time period if you don't start getting feedback scores right away. Once that is over your good. Always provide tracking # for orders as this may stop 30 day review of account.

Stealth accounts last forever...that is if you don't to something stupid (like I had before reading stealth book) and get suspended. With help from Stealth 2.0, I'm on my sixth account with amazon from same laptop. Three are running at once now still after having first 3 suspended for good.

I always start off with selling low priced items. After I get 1st positive feedback with about two dozen sales with tracking numbers I slowly added all products I have in stock from previous suspended accounts. Of course, I added lots of random products I price too high and avoid sales to throw off amazon bots that look for new accounts that have products too related to suspended ones.

With my 3 accounts up and running now, I request dispursements every several days to get paid. That way I spread out payments and risk as if one goes down, I simply add products from that account to my others. Hope this helps.

so what's the reason of the 3/6 account got suspended? by linking or?

Yep. My first and second account were made well before reading stealth book. I created second account while the first one was doing well. They were on the same IP address as I know now. Amazon emailed me stating I had a second account, and that one had to be closed otherwise they would shut them both down as it is against their policy to have two accounts (the exception being having a media and non-media account with amazons approval). I didn't take any action.

Well, the dropshipping company I was using for first account started screwing my orders. It lead to getting negative feedbacks which got my 1st suspended. Of course, along with second. I was doing about 7 thousand a month on second so I was none pleased.

After reading stealth book, I created 3rd account. All was going well until I had customer email me through amazon email that I sold him a counterfeit game. I did refund money but amazon bots picked up on counterfeit copy. They suspended that account.

Now I always in with customers order include how to contact me personally if anything is wrong with their purchase and NOT through amazon. It saved my bacon on one of my three accounts already and I mailed customer refund check for ⊗⊗⊗⊗ game.

What card do you use for verification? VCC? Gift Card? or Credit/Debit Card?

Just simple gift cards with made up names. gift2go.net only charges $3.99 extra for $20 card

I use them also but I lately switched to TDBanks..no $3.99 fee when you have an account with them. For some reason amazon was closing my account right after I opened them. Everything was different so I blamed the cards.

I just tried the gift2go route......
Did not work for me.
But a VCC did work.....
