Default Buying my own product through my business account

Hi all,

Am I violating their TOS agreement if my business purchases product sold from my personal seller account?

If so, I may just use my business card to purchase an amazon gift card and set up a new account to purchase my own product.

We are a new business with limited cash on hand, so it's in our best interest to reserve our immediate funds for purchases that require it.

Thanks all!

While this CAN be done - providing you understand how stealth works and can avoid linking - it is always a risk. I never recommend sending money between PayPal accounts, ESPECIALLY on a regular basis.

It is not a matter of the TOS violation (it DOES, by the way) it is a matter of KEEPING the accounts.

Whats the point of buying your own product with another account?
I can think of a few reasons - none of them good - but just wondering what your reasoning behind this practice is.

It's amazon not ebay/paypal if that's makes a difference.

Its a high risk thing to do.

You need to decide if loosing your account is worth it

I used my personal funds to purchase products needed for our business, and would like to "transfer that product" to my company. I could just write myself a check, but that would dip into my business cash on hand, which I'd rather not so early into forming my business. Some of our business vendors do not accept credit cards.

Not to be a hassle, but do you mind referencing the TOS violation?

Also, I have business licenses for two separate entities, so I might set up 2 new amazon accounts to do this as to not compromise my personal account.

Welcome to the forums - not worth doing especially if you have not grasped fully the stealth methods involved...linking might leading to block/suspension.

Set up stealth proper and you can do this. But you say you are a new business, are you just trying to get cash, cos if so, you are going to loose seller fees on each sale. Good way to loose money.

I though you were talking about PayPal, my bad.

I have no idea if it violates Amazon's TOS, but I would be a bit nervous doing this. If anything, I would set up a separate buying account to do it. And even THAT can be risky if the accounts get linked. Remember, Amazon has better technology than eBay does.

It is definitely against their TOS.

It's called feedback manipulation.
