Using money from amazon sales to purchase of amazon
 

Does anyone know if this is possible. Ex is I open a new amazon account and sell $200 worth of goods. Wait the initial 14 days for my funds to be released without adding a bank account. Instead I want to use the funds to purchase directly off of amazon.com sort of like we can do with paypal. I read a post of someone saying they have done this but i can't for the life of me figure it out. I have funds ready to disburse but when im trying to purchase an item its trying to take the money from my credit card. Thanks

You can't take money from your payment account to pay for a purchase. You will need to just withdraw the money and then pay for your purchase with your credit/debit card.

You can cash out as an amazon giftcard can't you? I know that I did once coming off the 90-day suspension hold, though I honestly haven't tried it with an active account.

If you can, you could get the money as giftcards and then just turn around and spend those.

I asked Amazon exactly that question last year, and was told it couldn't be done. Don't know about the gift card idea, though.

they used to have an option for that it would go to a gift card i'm not sure if they still do it....

I think that got discontinued I haven't seen that option.

It would have been nice. Even the gift card option would have been good. I don't understand why they don't implement something like this.

I think the answer to that question is obvious....:-)
