All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

Hello folks, long time no see.

Seems Amazon changed/ update something for verifying new accounts. All accounts passed video interview.
All accounts registered this month got deactivation 3-10 days after activation , see below.
Some I registered by myself used Super browser with phone tethering,
Some accounts I buy with VPS.
All information is original like email ,password, phone etc.
Before this month, I have not had this issue.
Please share your advice if you are in same boat.
Thanks a lot

Your Amazon selling account has been deactivated in accordance with Section 3 of the Business Solutions Agreement. Amazon’s Business Solutions Agreement can be found here.

Why is this happening?
We have reviewed your account and would like to confirm your identity.

How do I verify my identity?
To verify your identity, you need to complete virtual identity verification over a video interview. To reserve a time slot for the interview, fill out the form here.

I'd never use VPS.

THe accounts I've made never asked me for a video.
I upload normal DL and SSN

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

My experience has also been the same, I have not had to make videos for new accounts.
I think the problem you have is the IPs

Uk account need a video call, just made one this month.

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

The 2nd video verification request has been normal for a while, it just doesn't pop up that frequently

Our solution is to purposely trigger shops to request it so it doesn't happen in the future - it can be annoying

what's your source of IP

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

Thanks for your reply.
You mean Amazon never asked you second video? or even do not have first video.
How do you manage many Amazon account if no VPS?

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

No video interview for Amazon account ? or no Second video ? Thanks

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

But Second video is very difficult to pass. Amazon will ask many questions and invoice.

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

thats the whole idea,

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

if you're unable to purposely trigger it and it ends up coming later, you have had success passing it?

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

I use VPN.

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

I reset my home WiFi to get a new IP. I check each time to make sure they are different. I don't think that is the issue.

I think they are hitting accounts that haven't had video verification before (and perhaps rolling it out for new accounts?)
I've got 2 accounts deactivated pending video verification. Both 3-5 years old.

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

Which VPN?

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

this could be an issue - not all VPNs are quality connections

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

specially for amazon, I'd stick with residential ip . It's been 0 issues for me since I used this

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

It is totally real, the best way to connect with Amazon is Residential IP.

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

resetting the home IP is usually a great move

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

It is good that you comment on which VPN to use, to be able to understand the situation

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

Looks like it's no longer possible to sell on amazon without interviews. And I don't mean simple identity verification, I mean now you have to report to your new little boss in India (no offence to Indians).

Re: All New accounts in this month got Second-video interview
 

Are these interviews outsourced to India? That may be better news.

My last interview was an American guy. I would expect more scrutiny from someone in the Western world.

What's the chance of the same interviewer if your video verifications were a few days apart (2 accounts)? I'm guessing they are going to need many interviewers if they are doing this for all accounts?

Hmm feels like an opportunity for more AI use potentially...
