kwebber321 | 11-03-2021 12:52 PM | Running a new seller account as a virtual assistant? Recently i decided to start selling on amazon again after being suspended in 2017 but I'm still in same location as where I created my first account. My process for registering the new account would be my brother creates the account from his own location to solve the IP issue with his info and my LLC and register me as a virtual assistant where I would use a virtual machine or VPS, whichever would be more secure, I would like opinions on that as well if that's ok. Also would shipping to the warehouse from a UPS location set off any alarms to amazon? If I am using the LLC+UPS address when shipping would it be fine? Thank you. |

reinstall the OS on your laptop, then change your IP and operate from it.
You can ship from a UPS location to FBA yes. |

I've managed my store from my current laptop when I got suspended. And the situation with WIFI, I upgraded to fiber so completely new wifi but still probably wouldnt be good to use the wifi as well right? |

if it is a number of amazon account keep in mind that amazon are able to detect if someone use the same computer with multiple users so you would either need different computers or virtual machines
and another good option is to go away from windows because amazon exploit windows weaknesses , if you use mac for example they will see nothing |

kyliereesdjxb | 11-08-2021 11:18 AM | Re: Running a new seller account as a virtual assistant? best to have a clean IP for Amazon, same with OS. VPS is preferable in my experience so that you or a VA can login and work on it remotely, or you may have a risk of having the account suspended due to linkage or linking, im not sure what's the exact term. |

And for a VPS, what service would you recommend that gives a fresh IP? was thinking of just using IP burger for my laptop which will be a mac. |

I haven't used IP burgers, I wouldn't know. |
Beautiful | 11-09-2021 12:35 PM | Re: Running a new seller account as a virtual assistant? avoid VPS
you want to use your own dedicated laptop/tablet per account
or second best option is virtual machines with a hotspot/residential/Ipburger IP |
SaiJin | 11-09-2021 08:43 PM | Re: Running a new seller account as a virtual assistant? I keep telling you, avoid VPS.
But hey, you decide who you want to listen to.
for virtual assistant, just give him a manager account login to your amazon. Then it won't matter how he logs in.
simple, easy, fast, safe. |

kyliereesdjxb | 11-10-2021 05:43 AM | Re: Running a new seller account as a virtual assistant? The method I use is VPS, it works fine, I'm sharing what works for me and for people that I know. Totally up to you what you decide to do. The advice given by others are really good. |
