I have been searching high and low for an amazon forum, doesn't exist!! As of now I feel like I have my ebay accounts under control, still trying to figure out the CCnow linking to ebay. I signed up for ccnow with my real info (which has been banned from ebay) and now I am unsure if I need to sign up another one??? Does CCNOW info need ot match the ebay/paypal user info and address?
So back to amazon,
What I have learned so far in a few weeks: I had about 4 accounts suspended in the matter of about 4 days, they said that they linked them to an account that was closed for policy violations.
I had my first account, was doing well, sold like 50 items in like 2 days and then it was limited and they said they aren't paying for 90 days so I refunded people and then it was suspended. I had signed up another account during this time and they shut that off immediatly because it was linked to the first one ( I didn't know you can't have 2 accounts) this was before I found this forum and
eBay Stealth!!
So then I started creating new accounts, all was going well and then in 2 days I had 3 accounts shut off. These are the only things that I can think of as to why because I change IP everytime, all gmails, firefox, no cookies, everything....
I went to the bank and opened 5 new accounts all at once. SO all of the accounts numbers were exactly the same except the last 2 numbers. I also bought 5 gift cards together so again, all the numbers are almost the same.
I am assuming that they realized this because I signed the accounts up over about a weeks time and they are all within 30 miles from eachother.
The only account that is still ok so far, I happened to use a different bank from the other 4. So I am crossing my figures that that one will be okay.
Oh and one other thing that happened to me, on one of the accounts I had listed a set of dvd's. I listed at the lowest price and within 5 hours i received like 4 emails from sellers saying that I was selling bootleg and that I would be reported and kicked off soon. So I called amazon and they said that I am fine and that sometimes sellers are like that. Within 2 hours my account was closed. I called them again and they said to report the sellers and to email seller performance. I did and nothing. SO I called one more time and she said to emil jeff@amazon and describe in detail what happened. Jeff is the CEO and his staff will read the email and hopefully help. NOPE!! NOTTA. They said that is was a permanent decision. All because of some assholes! So be careful on there! Just match prices, don't undercut. Hope this helps.
