Physical address for new amazon account
 

So I'm in the process of creating a new amazon account after reading amazon ghost.... i have a friend's address I can use. BUT the problem is that in the BUYER account of the suspended seller account, I have used my friend's address to ship stuff to myself (as I was buying stuff from amazon and shipping it to my friends address). so my question is that do you think it would be safe to use that address for my new seller account? i doubt amazon keeps track of the 'ship to' address on the buyer account and links them to seller accounts. what do you say????

I would say NO NO NO, nobody knows what amazon looks at but this is a possible link.

Just use the address of a Holiday Inn for example, this works perfect for a seller account.

Just google a shopping plaza and add a suite number to that address. I have done this many times.

By the way, Amazon Ghost is outdated, you need to read through the Forum thoroughly before opening a Stealth account. You do not want to follow some of the things on Amazon Ghost

Thanks SO much for the info. I will try.... Yes, Amaozn ghost has some stuff I question if it's ok. So far I intend to do this (I feel pretty intimidated, yikes!)

1. VMWare for multiple accounts (ok?)
2. Use tethered cell phone wifi hotspot (ok?)
3. Will use Bank of America bank with my personal suspended name - amazon doesn't check (ok?)
4. Get new Ein number through a dba business name of the original suspended business name (ok?)
5. My suspended account sold only one new product - should the new account sell this one product immediately or should I start off with a different product first just so I'm not in the limelight - or it doesn't matter?

Can somebody please confirm if I'm on the right track amd doing this correctly??? Much appreciated! :-)

1. VMWare for multiple accounts (ok?) OK
2. Use tethered cell phone wifi hotspot (ok?)NO public wifi is dangerous
3. Will use Bank of America bank with my personal suspended name - amazon doesn't check (ok?) Don't use you name, this may link you
4. Get new Ein number through a dba business name of the original suspended business name (ok?)
5. My suspended account sold only one new product - should the new account sell this one product immediately or should I start off with a different product first just so I'm not in the limelight - or it doesn't matter?

Everything has to be different,don't sell the same product as a suspended account, use a ratio 1-5

I wouldn't use the same business name. Just get a new EIN from IRS with a different business name. IRS does not require you to form the business right away so you can make sure the account sticks before getting your LLC.

I always register my EIN and give one year ahead as when I'm going to firm the corporation

Thanks all for the useful info.

Kelly441, do u mean that I should make up a name, get EIN for it, wait till all is well, then register that name as an LLC. wouldn't that get too expensive? Wouldn't it be cheaper and more convenient to do a DBA of my existing LLC? I think I can keep changing the DBA of my original business name. Just more convenient... surely amazon can't track that - what do you say?

For wifi, I meant that a cell phone can turn into a wifi device through an app (as suggested by Amazon Ghost) - so you are saying that is not good?
Do you recommend Starbucks or library wifi then or is that also considered public wifi?

Re: Physical address for new amazon account
 

Public WiFi is not recommended, too many log on to three accounts or make accounts because they are thinking the same as you
