Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

I guess you don't belong here then. Last time I checked this forum is for STEALTH discussion, not more not less.

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

Not very welcoming are you.

Machine1 and GhostofAmazon

What is cake, I have been searching forums..what is it.

How do we not use EIN or SSN
I know about spreading sales out which is doable with Ebay, but
not really with amazon.

GhostofAmazon, I know you are talking about Amazon,
how do we do it, how do I give them cake!

Machine1, what is the trick!

Feel free to PM me!

I appreciate all the learning on these forums.

Thank you!

Cake = Non genuine product.

It just doesn't work any more. I have tried 25,50,100 even those ones with variable amounts (25-500 or whatever, I tried all sorts of amounts 25,50,100 even 300). It just does not work. Now I will have to use all those cards to purchase groceries lol.

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

You guys are tough on Paul, his questions are valid. Was wondering the same thing myself. I'm all about creating a legit solid, fba business. The concept of using real credit cards seems most ideal for amazon..not ideal to your credit line if you have a ton of accounts.

For me I'm doing 1 solid account for now. And as I get more comfortable with Stealth I'll open a few more.

It is very time consuming at first...even the wait for the legit credit card in the mail is painful. lol

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

If there was such a thing as "1 safe account" this forum would only be about 2 pages deep, there would be no more discussions needed. The word "Safe" is a fairy tale, it doesn't exist in the realm of Stealth. That doesn't mean that an account can't last a long time but why put yourself in that state of mind when you can have 5-10 accounts all working for you.

Take for example the thread about Gift Cards for verifying Amazon.....It's a problem, was it a problem a few months ago? No...it wasn't.

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

I think they check if the card details match when it comes to disbursement and you will be rumbled.

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

Any update for UK sellers??

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

I agree it would be nice to get to 3-4 solid accounts. The gift card method seems sketchy to me...as in amazon could quickly identify anyone whos used a gift card to create an account.. and then monitor those accounts deeper.

The "legit accounts...from what I've been reading is the approach of - create a llc, open a credit card, bank account under that LLC, and perform business under that LLC name/ein/bank account/credit card, all under new name and new address.

I just happened to move so it works out well.. not even using a po box but a real address. lol

(This is not meant to be advice to anyone, as I'm still learning best practices.)

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

I would agree with OP. But you still should be prepared with anything. Don't put all eggs in a basket. Just check the Amazon support forum at their website there are loads of people complaining about suspension although they were legit sellers for months.

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

From a post I made previously that Taking The Micky replied with, he mentioned that Amazon doesn't check/verify the CC holder's name, and I would assume what they dont check, what can't flag.

Add to the fact that Amz (.com) doesnt even ask for your CC address when you first sign up (unless you fail the verification from the get-go, when then you do need to provide).

Adding those 2 together: 1) if you don't need to provide your CC address initially, and 2) the CC name doesnt matter (so it could even be same as your real name), why WOULDN'T you just register x CC's as OP asked originally? Donno about the UK, but in the US and Canada, it's like they give CC's out for free...so it technically wouldn't be that hard to accumulate many cards over 5-15 days time.

Of course, if Amz DOES verify and check the CC holder name, and flaggable because of that factor, then that's another story.

Or am I missing something?

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

I've addressed this in multiple posts. Amazon does NOT verify your name, ONLY the house # and zip code.

i.e. your address is
123 Main Street
Anytown, NY, 45678

Amazon only verifies the house # (123) and the zip code (45678)

Although you are correct that credit cards are basically given away for free, opening too many in a short period of time would hurt your credit score. Much better to simply use a debit card for this.

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

What are you suggesting here? Just clarifying about use of debit card...

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

I tried this using Amazon UK. it doesnt work. so maybe just US?

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

What details were the same as your registered address?

Re: why not use a regular CC?
 

In the US, debit cards, and checking accounts are NOT reported to the credit bureaus, and DO NOT affect your score.

James North has already verified that in the UK, there are no two house #s and zip codes that match. EVERY house # in a zip code is unique. I can only verify this method works in the US. I have no knowledge of other countries. Test and find out.
