Amazon UK and Amazon USA account linked??

[Productions]

A friend had his Amazon USA account shut down, and it had a negative balance on it. Then Amazon deducted that negative balance from his UK account! The UK account wasn't shut down though. Both accounts had separate bank accounts but the same credit card (and I am assuming it's all different info based on different LLCs).

I thought Amazon UK and Amazon USA doesn't share info? So how did these accounts get linked?

Thanks

How high was the charge?

I would imagine it was his credit card that was charged and not the amazon account. Amazon will debit a credit card first to recover fees.
