Amazon originally sent me an email saying I had until June 27th to provide verification ... now they're saying June 8th. Anyone else had this happen?

peterjones · #**269** 06-07-2023

Lots of people have ..Ithink they are trying to clear the decks for all the people they have not even started with!

Me too. The address verification code isn’t suppose to to arrive until June 11th lol. I got in touch with Amazon’s internal team. They said I would just have to not make any sales until the code came in and said they’re sorry. I got the indication that there’s a big mess over there and they’re all sick of it.

Being asked to re-verify the phone and address only.
Is anyone actually receiving the cards in the mail?

I would need to secure another address for the account if they are. Anyone?

That should be easy for you to do.

Post cards? That's standard for USA accounts upon creation

Not a newly created account though.
3 years old, and Amazon asking for an address verification.

makkda · #**274** 06-09-2023

yeah whatever it's old, just do it. this verification is usual

Rellik3600 · #**275** 06-10-2023

SSN is not being requested in the verification correct? I’m not sure if I’ve provided that in the past and I’d like to use myself as the POC. I have an ID with an address never associated with another account. I’m hoping the only thing that could link me is my name and I imagine that’s not enough to be linked.

I'm currently a week into my asking to reverify while I figure out whose name to use as point of contact on my business account.

It appears some people are using their personal name even with a suspended past account and getting away with it. A strategy I'm considering. Although I'm guessing it's if you're suspended account from years ago never had your SSN or driver's license associated with it. And if you've moved since, it's basically just your name that is connected to the old account. And a lot of people can have the same name.

Rellik3600 · #**276** 06-10-2023

First, I’ve looked at all of your posts because I have the exact same scenario…

I know you mentioned you successfully completed the reverification. Did you add your friends info to the account and then do the reverification? Or did you just reverify with their info?

Any recommendations for the whole process in general?

Like I said before my account was suspended 12 years ago. My stealth account just has a S Corp EIN and company name as the first and last name.

So on my account the point of contact is the name of the company and the EIN. But when you fill out point of contact in the reverification process, it asks for a human name. I don't actually have a real point of contact on my account. So I imagine I'll get rejected at first and probably have to prove a new point of contact is the owner.

Last night around midnight EST Amazon suspended my disbursements on 3 of my 4 accounts. $100,000 in limbo, plus another 100k in FBA inventory. This is fun stuff

reason? which one you didn't verify?

Rellik3600 · #**279** 06-10-2023

Is the account still up and running? Disbursements coming in?

Thanks for creating a Selling on Amazon account! We have completed verifying your identity. As next steps, please log into your Seller Central account to activate your account and check if any further action is needed.

Thank you for choosing to sell on Amazon and we’re here to help you succeed every step of the way.

I think there are couple of points that AMZ checks.
1. Account seller performance
2. Bank statement matches the ID documents and AMZ's payment disbursement.

If you have a good seller performance and present a bank statement proves that AMZ payment disbursement flowing in that account. AMZ knows you are the person who actually running the account.
AMZ is not FBI nor IRS, they don't care if you used stealth info before, they just want to make sure the person who owns the account is actually the person running the business and get the money flows.

Edit, then print. Scan on same user account as your AZ acct. Scan as Jpeg.

Works every time for our accounts. No lingering data.

What if you just print as a pdf file? Its creating a new pdf as if you just downloaded it from your bank no?

Will still have some data to it. Exactly what, I don't know. Scanning as a Jpeg cleans it perfectly (has been proven).

Can't you just strip metadata with windows?

Removing photo metadata on Windows

1.Go to the folder that contains the images you want to address.
Select an image file.
2.Use your mouse to right click and select “Properties” from the menu.
Next, select “Details.”
3.Select the option to create a copy of the file with all possible properties removed.
Select “OK.”
