Two amazon accounts from the same family
 

Hello,

I have been running my amazon account for more than 15years, currently my sister lives with me and she wants to open one as well. Are there any disadvantages to this? As we will be using the same WiFi, the same address.. different ccs and laptops.

Go to AMZN seller forum and ask.
If one is suspended,so could the others,this is how Ebay works,dunno about AMZN

Re: Two amazon accounts from the same family
 

the accounts should not sell similar items , preferrably they should in different categories

Don’t use same wifi etc if one goes down other will be down aswell even if it’s on different person name

Re: Two amazon accounts from the same family
 

if the two of you both sell on AMZN and have a different SSN number and bank account,it is obvious there are 2 sellers ,I dont see how AMZN would suspend both accounts.
It is common couple/family living in the same address would all have AMZN accounts.

Yes, plenty of bad.

If she does something no matter how unintentional, your account will be killed too. She can't be connected to you whatsoever.

I'd have her use her own laptop, get a different mailing address and use a residential IP .

It's basically the same as you doing multiple accounts.

OP, avoid the potential for linkage and have her use different IP and registration info

They do, even if totally different people with different address use same internet to login amazon account they linked, one account does down other will be down aswell

Re: Two amazon accounts from the same family
 

actually if the people in the same household both have a separate business and sell different items amazon are unlikely to make any problems unless one of the accounts gets suspended for policy violations , this would make the other account fair game

Re: Two amazon accounts from the same family
 

AMZN must have plenty of family members sharing the same ISP,selling on AMZN,if each can produce say SSN card,driver license,passport,they should be fine.
On Ebay ,several family members used each other device to log onto ebay and they all get suspended,but they managed to prove they are not one person

Re: Two amazon accounts from the same family
 

I know from experience that if one account goes down the other one will too and pretty quickly so make sure both are managed properly and don't share anything between the accounts - absolutely nothing.

Not recommended to follow this line of thinking - not great for account health potentially
