Amazon BUYER account Amazon Cancelled Prime
 

I do both DS Domination and FBA Selling. The problem is with my Buying Accounts. Amazon keeps sending warnings that they think I'm a reseller and will close my account. 1 account ended up being closed on, it still works but I just don't have prime anymore (this was a new account and still in the 30 trial period) Are you guys getting these types of threats? Are they coming out because of the holiday season? I've opened a few accounts to spread out the sales but still.

Thanks, Merry Christmas

I don't do the Amazon, but someone a few weeks ago reported the same problem. He was buying from AZ and reselling, and they called him out on it and told him to stop. I have no idea why they wouldn't want resellers buying from them. Resellers make up about half of my business :confused:

Amazon doesn't mind if you buy and resell. However if you're using prime to ship directly to customers, you're benefitting from something (free shipping) that's meant exclusively for their end customers, not resellers... Plus they have it in their policy that prime cannot be used by resellers... I know because I was given a warning a while ago :p

Is this still the case that PRIME SHIPPING should not be used by Resellers? Should we be using a Non-Prime Amazon Account to Dropship to Ebay?

Thanks!

You can use Prime Shipping mode for drop shipping, but it depends how many items you are going to dropship. If you are an amateur seller than you should be fine. Even if you are dropshipping with Non Prime shipping mode if you abuse it with number of orders you might lose your buyer account.

Work around: Upgrade your buying account to a "business account"

What advantage does that give you?

I've found the key is to have 10+ buyer accounts with moderate volume.
