Deactivated Account - Amazon Requesting ID Verification for Payout

[leamprotan]

My selling account has been deactivated for 6+ months due to invoice manipulation section 3 violation.

I opened this account 8+ years ago and never did any verification ever with ID or statements.

I am in payout period appeal and they have sent the following notice:

Hello Seller,

Before we disburse funds in your account, we need to verify information related to your identity and the authenticity of your supply chain.

How do I validate my identity?
In order to verify your identity and supply chain, we need to complete virtual identity verification over a video call. To reserve a time slot for the interview, please fill out the form below:

After we receive your response on this form, we will invite you for the interview on one of your preferred time slots.

What happens if I do not sign-up for virtual identity verification?
Funds will not be disbursed from your account until you complete this identify verification process.

We’re here to help
If you have questions about this policy or the information requested above, please contact disbursement-appeals @amazon.com

Is this so they can blacklist me forever? I assume since I have never verified with them I could potentially open another account if I was to move to a different address? Trying to see if it is worth verifying for or if they still wont give me my money anyways. Is there potential to open up another account with my Information? If so, I would rather do that. Only $900 in unpaid funds.

Thoughts?

the "we're here to help" part is at the same time insulting and hilarious.

Worth trying IMHO and yes, account is practically dead.

Yeah, I have come to terms with not getting the account back. But my question is more if I haven't ever verified with them cause my account was so old, they don't have my ID so I could possibly still create another account with my own ID? Correct?

But, if I do this video verification to get my $900 I will never be able to create another account with my ID ever.

So I was thinking the $900 isn't worth it as I'm still 100% sure even after this verification that they will release funds as they said verify my ID AND supply chain. So even if ID is valid they could reject the supply chain.

Use your drivers license for the video verification. You can still have another account in the future with your name using your passport with a different address.

[leamprotan]

Oh I wasn't aware you could use a seperate ID for the same person with all other new details to create a new account. I assumed they had a database with face linked to names and they would easily match a DL and a passport using the picture even if the address changed.

I think it's feasible for you to use your ID on a new account yes.
but remember, use a different PC altogether.

I know some people here like to use virtual machines and what not, I just like to do things 100% and not less.
