Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

Okay, I'm using brand new EVEERYTHINGGGG.
I'm trying to dropship refund to ebayers, I did it 2 weeks ago 3 times without any problems...

Everytime I do it I make a new user on my mac, I use a fresh IP, new emails, and a new visa gift card...
So yesterday I tried doing FOUR of them...and not one went through??
One of the emails also received an email saying they closed my account because it got linked.


How are they linking me? Everything is completely fresh? I was told many times that making a user profile on my computer will delete all cookies and everything, and if Im using a new ip there wouldn't be a problem right?


tldr; brand new name, address, phone, visa card, email, IP, and fresh user account on my mac.

What about the product???? Selling same products????

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

No, I do ipads, ipad mini, ipad mini retina, ps4, kindles, all different things.
Why would the product matter anyway? They immediately close my accounts so I know it has to be like IP or mac address or something. But doesn't a new account on my computer solve the mac address problem? And Im using a verizon mifi hotspot so i have different IP's each time i use the hotspot.

Somewhere I read that Amazon tracks your PC, so new user or changing your IP will not help. Some suggest you need to use another "unlinked" computer for each account. I do not know if this is the reason?

New users cannot sell these.

Also check your passwords. If same or similar, could be the issue.
Are you changing browsers, and if so, are they clean, fresh browsers?

Also check for any repeats of address, zip code, phone #

I'm not trying to sell, I'm just trying to buy on amazon lol.
I'm using a different user account on my computer so browser wouldn't be a problem. And I always make the pw's way different.

items are to expensive

need to buy or sell smaller items so not flagged

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

Same issue here too, lately I get closed accounts for buying goods from Amazon and drop ship to my website buyers, I use: different IP proxies, different windows accounts, different credit cards, different address, different phones EVERYTHING is different.
Anyone?

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

Are your cards valid and able to survive test charges done by Amazon of up to $20?

they hold about $3 each. never had issues like that before. are you sure $20 is the minimum? they started closing 3 weeks ago and the balance on the VCC was always the same.

Thanks for your response.

Btw I'm only buying items not selling...

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

selling seems to be messed up on amazon now

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

hmm, something smells.

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

Why would they close your account if you were only buying??? What were you doing

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

That right there is probably your problem, almost 100% sure.

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

You probably were considered a problem buyer : IE: High returns?

It could also be what MM said, The different IP addresses plus high end items like that is VERY suspicious in amazons eye. And perhaps your browser fingerprint.

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

Have you deleted digital signature as Amazon store it in you PC's HD. I believe you need to formate completely your laptop. And also how do you change MAC address each time while you change you Mac pc's profile? Need to know abt that. Thanks

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

MAC Adress is of no concern. Amazon can't read it out as long as you disable flash and Java ! :shocked:

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

I had over $400 in each card, enough to make the full order and dropship to a customer.

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

How do you guys know that they don't trace Mac address?

So you're telling me that if I use all new info, make a new user account on my mac, and have a fresh IP I'm safe from being linked? They don't trace the MAC address?

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

The random IP + different dropship addresses + gift cards could easily spark a concern

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

Well if I just do 1-2 orders per account that shouldn't be a problem. I'm just worried about the account linking thing. So there is no possible way they track a Mac address? if i use brand new info and a new user on my macbook and a brand new IP (verizon mifi)I should be completely safe from getting linked right?

Re: Orders/Accounts keep getting closed??
 

If you follow the other rules (no double login on 1 ip; proper clearance of ALL Browser fingerprints and listing DIFFERENT Inventory etc) then u r fine ;)
