Amazon Accounts Limit One per Household?

[mercurial333]

My gf's account just got suspended yesterday. I was using it as backup, during the 2nd review and was hoping to use in case I go into 3rd review. Was barely selling on it, just trying to build feedback. I sold maybe 900$ in the last 3 months.

I'm not stealth yet, and not selling V ER 0 items.

Her account had her name, our address, her own bank account, and I wasn't selling the same items that I sell on my Amazon account. I was using the same computer thou.


So is it restricted to one her household or computer? Could she ever sell again with this account?

We are writing to let you know that we have removed your selling privileges,
canceled your listings, and placed a temporary hold on any funds in your seller

We took this action because our records indicate that this account is related to
another selling account. As per our policies, sellers must limit their selling
activity to one account.

Actions” in seller Help.

Please limit your selling activity on our site to your *My Amazon Account* account.

We encourage you to take appropriate steps to resolve any pending orders. Note
that any amounts paid as a result of A-to-z Guarantee claims and chargebacks may
be deducted from your seller account.

After 90 days, any remaining funds will be available per your settlement

will be available in the “Payments” section of your seller account. If you have
questions about these funds, please write to payments-funds@amazon.com.

Nope. When one family member loses an Amazon seller account, any other accounts linked to it (same computer especially, or same IP address, etc.) will also be shut down.

Amazon is VERY unforgiving about breaking their rules.

Using ANY name for a new account AND using the same computer, IP address, credit cards, bank accounts, etc. will not work.

one her household, even for buyers account. My brother had an account before I knew anything about amazon. When I went to sign up they rejected my account. I couldnt buy anything.

Well they basically told me to sell on my own account.

Might have to go stealth now, when next review comes up

A bit silly indeed. Oh well.

Might have to go stealth now - no "mights" about it.

As for buyers' accounts, I know that several can exist at a household - Am az on is critical of sellers and not too bad with buyer accounts only.

That's what they told me too about 7 months ago. So I just sell on one amazon account now

He asked if there was anyone else using my account and I had recently found out my teenager had signed up so that is what I said, yeah I think he signed up too.

But....the truth was I had signed up and sold like 10 items on another account and linked them. No doubt

They were video games, books about video games, some were old Atari games. So it probably looked as if my teenager did it.

Amazon Rep said to "consolidate" and it is best to keep all the items on one account. He was very vague but I pretended to know what he meant. And I did know he should have booted me. I'm thinking he probably didn't boot me because of the high positive feedback and no refunds, claims etc...nothing bad. It was about 25% at that time
