Will different country be a problem?

[digirally]

My friend has an Amazon seller account that he has been using for several years. He has been based in Germany and selling from the Germany (uses a dropshipper).

He is moving on from Amazon so I asked if I could have his account and supplier and he said ok.

Will it raise flags or get me banned if I log in on an US IP address? Do I need to get a DE proxy or something?

Thanks

(Also, I request payment to US address, will this be a problem?)

Then i told my friend in USA who i am partnered with to manage it. and account didnt pass review.

am not sure what was reason.

Should be ok, you could get a German VPS but running Amazon will be very slow.

If the account is several years old you will be fine. I run accounts on all amazon marketplaces and log in all over the world and no problems using 3g dongle's( just so I can change IP's easy)

Hmm, he gave me 2 accounts. One is started in 2011, and the other in 2012. What do u think?

Also, u said u use dongle, so u log in all over the world with local IP with no problem?

Yes I have dongles for each country I visit and no problems. The accounts are you have I would call established and if the metrics are good you will be fine.

Hi,
I have absolutely no experience in this but it seems too risky to me.
You could use a VPS for a year or so an, if really necessary, switch to another country's IP.
Why take the risk to toast a 4 years old account this way?
Just my opinion.

Gave you 2 accounts...you will need to EASE them in on your computer

VPS are known to amazon. Probably better to keep in mind other customers who do damage using the IP range of the VPS.

Why could a business person travelling around not use a (local based) dongle?

More realistic.

Because the countries that he wants to go to are probably all not Amazon marketplace countries.

I say go for it and log in from wherever, I've logged in from some very obscure locations before with no problem

Using VPS you'll probably want to bang your head against the wall after a few hours anyway.

I am confused. I think you are all mistaken. I am not traveling the world. I live in US long term, not moving anywhere.

My friend lives in Germany and he gave me his account to use (I live in the USA)

When you say Very obscure locations, do u mean outside of ur home country (away from UK)?
