quick question amazon
 

Have a new account and mailed everything out. waiting on first transfer from amazon.received the transfer email on the 11th of November.Go to access my account on the 13th in the evening and account was deleated. Will I still get the transfer or do you think it was reversed. I do not see it posted in my account as of today. any chance I will get it.

Re: quick question amazon
 

Amazon have been deleting some accounts that use gift cards. Already 4 people reported this now. Its a worrying development.

Did you use a gift card?

Re: quick question amazon
 

No gift card regular card and bank

Re: quick question amazon
 

why do you think they deleted?

Re: quick question amazon
 

If you sold the same items + same UPC + an address near your previous suspended account and last if you Are selling phakes then they can delete your account. Selling different items and I believe 100% different are much better. :)

Re: quick question amazon
 

Wow that is crazy. It's like what if someone down the street that so happens to do exactly what you were doing and their account gets deleted?

Re: quick question amazon
 

Different items and not phakes. no media items.Account was in a 20 mile radius of another account that was up for 2 years. So if I had 2 accounts say 3 blocks away selling different items would it be taken down?seems strange. I guess no one can sell in those areas

Re: quick question amazon
 

Wonder if I will get my money for my items.

Re: quick question amazon
 

I have had an account deleted but still got my money after 90 days...but my account was deleted because i tried refunding too many people within short period of time for items not recieved

Re: quick question amazon
 

I would say its 50/50. The transfer definitely went out before it was deleted. Question is will they reverse it. I would watch the bank acct and if the funds show up pounce on it as quick as possible.

Re: quick question amazon
 

Don't confuse deleted with suspended.

suspended means you can still login but cannot sell and you often will get your money after 90 days.

Deleted means you cannot log in to your account as the username/password is not recognised although they are correct to your account. Money has gone and you will NOT get it back at all. Deleted accounts happen as Amz detect you own a previous suspended account and/or selling ⊗⊗⊗⊗.

There are many posts on this forum from veteran sellers confirming this

Re: quick question amazon
 

What`s going on here - this thread is making rumours it seems...4 people is hardly a global trend...

Re: quick question amazon
 

Agreed. Need to look past the CC for other possible linking.

Re: quick question amazon
 

Roberto you need to stop going round telling everyone the sky is falling. Until there is more info can you stop popping up in every thread saying it's because amazon are deleting accounts with gift cards. I thought you said you were "going to stop giving advice". That really would be the best option.

For a start if your account is deleted amazon do not tell you what the reason was. Anyone with a deleted account is normally at best making an educated guess. The 4 people you talk of could have made anyone of the numerous mistakes that get people linked. But you are on a one man mission to make them believe it's the giftcard. Until more experienced users start reporting problems (which they haven't) just wait and see.

Re: quick question amazon
 

Roberto,

Are you sure that your account was deleted? or just suspended?

Re: quick question amazon
 

it was deleted, i could not login

Re: quick question amazon
 

I agree with everything above but at the same time its possible he has picked up on something so I'm going to err on the side of caution and going to purposely make a new AZ stealth in Jan after the busy period (now is the wrong time to make a stealth) with a 3V and let peeps know my findings.

Re: quick question amazon
 

Then your account has been deleted not suspended. It means whatever money was in there you wont get it even after 90 days.

They deleted the account as they know you have a previously suspended account (most common reason) and have somehow linked you.

Re: quick question amazon
 

Look like Roberto already got paid

Re: quick question amazon
 

Have had a few deleted accounts - never got my money from those. Could not log in, could not do anything.

Re: quick question amazon
 

Yes i got paid, and i guess it depends why they deleted. They deleted mine probably thinking I am doing too many refunds so something is wrong with account and set off red flag so they deleted to stop me refunding people probably suspecting fraud or that someone took over my account.


I mean I was doing like 10-30 refunds a day suddenly and out of character!

Re: quick question amazon
 

No, they don't do this for that reason. Rorbeto


And this is a bad, very bad

Re: quick question amazon
 

Roberto, I believe you talk a LOT RUBBISH. Nobody to my knowledge has received funds from a deleted account. It just does not happen. I have a lawsuit going through the Courts in Luxembourg (amazon EU registered office) for over 12 months seeking over £100k and they still fight to keep the cash. They have even confirmed they owe the money in Court papers but still keep fighting to prevent me getting Judgement. The accounts were linked to previous accounts and amazon's defence is that their T&T don't allow this.

Re: quick question amazon
 

No money in account It was most likely never sent or they pulled it back. Mthr fkers

Re: quick question amazon
 

Unfortunately they always pull it back if they can. If your suspended they send an email letting you know but if the account is deleted you don't get a thing.

Re: quick question amazon
 

Then I guess am lucky

Re: quick question amazon
 

Two years ago I got my money from deleted account but doesn't hear any good story recently.

Re: quick question amazon
 

why do you think it was deleted?

My account was deleted and i got the money about 6 months ago

Re: quick question amazon
 

money never showed they must have pulled it back. thieves!!! lost my inventory!!!

Re: quick question amazon
 

I am supposedly 1 of the 4 people that got account deleted because of gift card. However, I believe it was because of same item and I listed too much in my inventory form the beginning, like over 10,000 items available

Re: quick question amazon
 

Amazon is just a joke now days found something on the internet how they use 3RD party fba as guinea pigs to rummage through their stuff and find the products to sell themselves.then boot them and undercut everyone. real good company

Re: quick question amazon
 

Thing is, you don't have to sell on amazon, this is your choice. Amazon have the rules, play by them and you are OK. If they link an account they will deleted you, but YOU know the risks when you open the account.

Re: quick question amazon
 

Yeah but no matter what the agreement says there is something to be said for being ethical. Or is it open season for corporate oppression without bounds these days. In civilized societies when we catch a burglar they are no longer pilloried in the town square or death row is mostly a thing of the past. But you tread outside the line at these online flea markets and there is mostly no recourse and your goods that YOU own are confiscated. Maybe it's just me but feels like we have regressed as a society. I would expect being treated this way in Stalinist Russia. You do as we say or we burn down your house. Something has to give eventually.

Re: quick question amazon
 

It is perfectly ethical. The thing is bad sellers damage amazon. If an employee was damaging your business, selling phakes or constantly offering terrible customer service what would you do. You would fire them.

But imagine that member of staff sneaks back, but this time with 5 mates and they all do the same thing damaging your business.

Amazon are by no means perfect but it's quite easy to see things from their point of view. So if you want to play the game play it but don't go moaning about big bad amazon when we are all gaming them in the first place.

And you should count your lucky stars this is not Stalinist Russia. Failing a review would be the least of your problems when operating against
The terms of service.
