Looking for someone to help me walk through setting up multiple accounts on Amazon.com (US).

Your assistance would be much appreciated.

Have you read the book?

Have you any stealth accounts already?

You will most of the info in the book and in various threads within the forum.

Read though the Amazon Stealth Guide.

I did. And have.

I was running seven Amazon accounts up until March...then wham. And since then, have had an almost impossible time getting back up.

And I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

Would appreciate someone who is running accounts via VM Ware to walk me through how they are doing things, and then perhaps I can see what I am doing wrong. And they can assist me in the VM Ware set up as well.

Welcome to the forums - all the best as you read the ghost guide.

Someone to help you with a walk through...have you been reading the forums yet?

Re: Amazon US assistance
 

Best thing would be to post your method and we can see what you may be doing that is getting you linked.

Okay...

Well, first off, after suspension, I was trying to simply clean my old computer...different user account, different IP masqued by use of VPN (Hide My Ass & IP Vanish), prepaid credit card, VOIP phone number ...

No problem getting verified.

Obtain EIN for each account, then put in bank account. (Now, are they linking me through bank accounts? Can they do that? It is same bank, but different account, alternating checking and savings via Chase.)

I start to sell. They fob me off to the second two week period, so, there is about a month lag time. Then, just before the first drop...bang. Shut out completely.

It is like they are toying with me, trying to get me to sell as much stuff as I can in that time, then screwing me over. At least, that is how it feels.

So...then I changed machines completely. That did not work either.

Of course, am starting to wonder about it all...was it the Mac addresses from previous machines? (I used a Mac address spoofer...but who knows?) Changing machines did nothing. Still booted off.

Are they somehow bypassing my VPN and seeing my original address from my home? Can they do that?

Driving myself crazy trying to trace out what I am doing wrong.

Too, I put up stock that is different most often. Do they monitor stock?

Also wondering that if I am creating the spreadsheets to upload from one of the machines that I originally was booted from, is there information that they can tag that gets passed along if I email those spreadsheets to myself on another machine?

See what I mean about driving myself crazy...?

Re: Amazon US assistance
 

If you are using HMA with US IP's I guess this will be your problem.

MAC, no need to worry.

If you are uploading your old stock onto new accounts this can be a problem. Are you using the same seller sku?

Re: Amazon US assistance
 

Two things. First of all HideMyAss is not good for Amazon or anything else stealth-wise. It is more for masking your activities. For Amazon, I would not use VPN's AT ALL.

The other thing is, if you have a spreadsheet of products and are uploading the same products all the time, then they are probably linking you on that as well. The odds of two Amazon sellers selling the exact same products is fairly small, so they probably took a look at the accounts and found enough similarities to feel confident in blocking them.

Re: Amazon US assistance
 

Not uploading exact same stock with same SKU, no...changing it up a lot...changing prices and whatnot.

I ran 7 accounts from same location on different machines for about a year. The only way that i did that was by using VPN (HMA).

If not a VPN, what is the best way to change IP address?

Re: Amazon US assistance
 

Amazon has way better technology than eBay does. So, when I create an account, it is either on a VPS or on it's own laptop with an internet stick (dongle).

Re: Amazon US assistance
 

OK, but if the ITEMS are the same, it could still link you. What are the odds of two sellers having the exact same inventory? Even with different prices and SKU's?

Re: Amazon US assistance
 

Another pressing question...do the prepaid credit cards work? I mean, I know I am getting up and on to Amazon without any trouble.

But I am wondering if when they go through the review process they aren't shutting the account down because they don't like prepaid credit cards.

I am not crazy about taking out a DBA for the time considerations.

Would love to hear what other people are using?

This is helpful.

Visa/mastercard gift cards are fine, no problems.

Use a 3/4g dongle for changing IP or look at the services offered by 123
