I've been using gift cards but one, I have to pay $5 a card and two I don't get the rewards points on my credit card.

You cant use gift cards for prime. Its a reocurring payment Need actual credit card. Thats why you keep getting banned. Ontop of dropshipping. This is specifically against amazons policies.

Hey Guys,

Just my 2 cents.

This method is doable and scalable even with prime imho.

I am in the process of making software that will create multiple accounts with a proxy for each account. Use a VCC to activate prime and then make purchases with Gift Card. Software will also distribute the orders across all accounts (round robin).

I need to investigate buying gift cards but Amazon have a corporate scheme where you can buy at a discount. I may also speak with retailers in my area and ask them if I can buy via them at a discount.

The only thing I am unsure about is whether or not Amazon cancel accounts that activated Prime using a VCC, i'm not sure if they can tell.

That is a surefire method to work because each account will be independent and not linkable. If you create enough with the software (like 100) then you should be able to resist detection for a long time. Constantly creating new accounts so you can avoid paying for prime.

A complicated system to develop for sure but it will absolutely work.

They cannot tell, I have been doing this for years.

Entropy, new VCC, you can choose if you want to load it with a £1 or not, if you do they'll take it if you don't they won't. Either way prime will be active.

Amazon buyer stealth is by far the easiest of them all.

wait correct me if I m wrong, but isnt there a free trial, so why pay?
or does this option only come up on an established account?

otherwise what is to stop you from making an az buyer each month with new prime?
then abandon it.

also using a vcc - that is safer but incurs fees..that cuts you margin right?

you can use the same real card over and over on each new az prime acc - really?

Once your buyer account has been banned, I'm certain that measures are taken (automatic, "bot" measures) to insure you can't buy again.

Matching CC info is certainly one of them.

Had about 5 accounts banned this month, very easy to make new ones. Bought over £30k from amazon so far this month lol

Well, there we go. The proof is in the pudding as we say.

There are ways and means to solve every problem in this game. Just a little (legal) creativity and your gold.

haha yeah give me a shout if you get that bot working and I'll buy it aslong as its reasonable lol. You'd sell loads on blackhatworld

If you have a seller account and they ban your prime for drop shipping, is it just the prime access you lose, or does your seller account get banned too?

[kowloonwolfpack]

amazon does't want you using prime to make money, they want your customers to purchase on their site. if i was amazon i would ban your account too.

[newjerseymax]

I have used it maybe 100-200 times to other addresses. However that is ONLY if the item is damaged and happens to be last of my stock... Or some other random reason like I effed on my inventory somehow.

Maybe its hedged by the 1000's of purchases my wife makes to our home address. Who knows... haha

Do you purchase the gift cards directly from Amazon or do you purchase them from a third party provider?

[shoffice]

PM if you are still looking for sulotion for this issue with the Amazon Prime

[newjerseymax]

Also, Amazon sells "loss leaders".... These are items that make no profit and often at a loss. It is a business strategy I use sometimes to get people on my website. So somebody will buy one Loss leader and hopefully buy a few profitable items making up the difference in loss. Supermarkets do the same thing.

Now if somebody came to my website and bought all my loss leaders and sent them allover for his win, then yea that would not be good business for me...

The purpose is to bring in customers and you are taking that away from them... At a cost no less... So yea in business that doesn't work for me or Amazon at that....

did you make your accounts with vcc or using your normal cc mutiple times?

[mtproducts]

Thats rubbish... Amazon encourages drop shipping. Simple as that. Silas makes a very good point.

[k126]

is there any tool for amazon auto ordering? also if i was making multiple orders ona prime account to different addresses. What would a safe limit be to stop ordering at on that account for me not to get my prime banned?

[MrFatBlob]

You can use the same cc over and over to make new prime accts every thirty days. You just need to delete the cc info from the previous acct. Amazon does not work to hard to stop this yet.
