Getting back on Amazon.

Joer · #1 09-22-2009

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.

philly387 · #5 09-23-2009

^^^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.

ovidiu · #9 09-24-2009

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!

ovidiu · #11 09-25-2009

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)

upsidedown · #13 09-26-2009

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

shoot2kill · #14 09-26-2009

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.

dennisjaneway · #15 09-26-2009

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.

Patrick

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

upsidedown · #16 09-26-2009

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

dennisjaneway · #17 09-29-2009

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

Hercules · #18 09-29-2009

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

upsidedown · #19 09-29-2009

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

shoot2kill · #20 09-30-2009

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

xoxbabiixtina · #21 10-08-2009

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!

#22 10-08-2009

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.
