Amazon buyer account question
 

I started doing eBay to amazon dropshipping and was pulling in 1k+ sales daily. I was using my main amazon account to make purchases. After about 2 weeks amazon temporarily locked my account about suspicious activity. I believe it was because I gave access to my VA who is out of the country and was making purchase orders, rookie mistake lol.

I got my account back a few days later after calling them up. I’m a bit nervous to continue using my main amazon account. I’ve seen the services on this forum offering amazon vcc’s. Is it as easy as buying a vcc + ip and setting up a new buyer account? Do I need a business prime buyer account or just a regular?

I appreciate any help in this situation. I paused my eBay store until I figure out a solid solution that I can put in place for the future.

Thank you!

not easy at all, if you have your own legit account for buying and its running smooth with your own card, that is your best option

Re: Amazon buyer account question
 

So if I create a business prime account with a legit card / business which I have. Any chance I will run into any issues with dropshipping from amazon. Will they get sus if I start using a different shipping address for every order? Does anyone have experience in this position and can add to this?

Thanks.

Re: Amazon buyer account question
 

you said you are doing 1k daily,so you must be using your Ebay buyer shipping address with no problem,

Re: Amazon buyer account question
 

I was doing this for a few weeks then got locked out temporarily.

Re: Amazon buyer account question
 

but you said you let someone use your account overseas,not because of your dropshipping business.

Re: Amazon buyer account question
 

I'm guessing you didn't even mask your IP with the residential IP ?

a different computer, IP and behaviour will trigger the suspension

Re: Amazon buyer account question
 

Correct, but I got nervous and started reading up and noticed that people got suspended or locked out of their account for simply dropshipping from amazon to eBay.. wanted to see if anyone had any issues before I continued..

Re: Amazon buyer account question
 

My idea is to setup my VA on a personal computer with remote access where they can logon to the pc and use my azon account so it won’t trigger anything via ip / different pc etc.

My issue / question is if I start sending orders to different addresses daily , will azon flag / suspend / lock my account. And had anyone done this type of dropshipping and ran into issues with amazon.

Re: Amazon buyer account question
 

yes they do

Re: Amazon buyer account question
 

In this case, does anyone sell or know a reliable seller that sells azon buyer accounts? I Haven’t seen a service like this.

best way to use your own account no one sell here

Making amazon buyer accounts is simple, get a fresh virtual machine with windows 7 installed and clone it each time you want to make a new buyer account and make sure your ip is residential and clean, mobile data works too just log the ips so you don't overlap with multiple accounts. You will however need a virtual credit card or different card with a dififerent billing since if you use the same billing, amazon will link your accounts. Some banks do let you change the billing address so you can open another bank account, get a different/new card and then go to your online banking and change the billing address to a different one, then you can start shipping to buyers using that account and so on. There are virtual credit card options aswell like Privacy, blur abine etc and if you want to buy amazon buyer accounts, there are people who can do that on other forums where illegal services are offered. Lastly i thought AutoDS had a service where you could pay them and they would sort the amazon shipping out for you? Good luck!

Unless something has changed in the last 90 days : If you drop ship Amazon to Multiple addresses using Prime, then you will get your account closed eventually (1-90 days). Fastest if you use gift cards.

Re: Amazon buyer account question
 

On Ebay,it is called retail arbitrage not dropshipping,taking the buyer money and place order with WMT,Costco,AMZN ,these are retailers not wholesalers,note the difference.
You could be banned.
AMZN prime members can ask AMZN to ship to another person as a gift,but AMZN does not like returns from these so called gift recipients and may not refund your money once return is received.
Since such arbirtage yield very little profit,Ebay sellers use discount credit cards to pay,AMZN does not like that ,as some of these cards are bought from sellers who use stolen credit cards.
Paypal does not like it either,as these orders result in more disputes.
Ebay buyers may not like it either once they find out they can have the same item themselves for less on AMZN,so they could make an excuse to return the items.
