Amazon Buyer account questions.

[elusive1]

I recently had numerous Amazon regular buyer accounts closed and had the funds permanently seized. All cards were legitimate, purchased with cash, but between volume of GC deposits and some extremely large purchases, it certainly would look odd to Amazon. While this forum is indeed great, for obvious reasons it is geared towards the seller accounts. Clearly, I need stealth buyer accounts going forward.

1. Would the addresses that I had sent to predominantly get flagged?

2. Does anyone have any idea, what volume of GC if any triggers Amazon?

3. Would a VCC work to buy Prime?

4. Does anyone know if they link GC's purchased together, if they get deposited into different accounts? I have had accounts suspended with a note that Amazon thought the account was hacked and being used by others.

I know " There are no stupid questions, just stupid people that ask questions"

I dont think the addresses would be flagged, as for office blocks that would close hundreds of genuine customers accounts!

Are you buy from amazon . com and ship to US address?

[elusive1]

Yes all were .com, and 99% were to USA addresses.

Predominentally, five or so residential addresses

3 freight forwarders

and perhaps 500-600 wish list orders via Purse

So it is real Costa Rican account buying on .com and shipping to US address?
Doesn't look good if you drop ship them

Likely true, I didn't even have an address on my account, just an email. Though, the card for Prime had an address in CR

Probably about 20, they were open almost two years each

These are all very good questions.

Were all of those GC purchased by different accounts with different cards?

GC were purchased at many locations for cash. 99% of the time they went into a single buyer account immediately after purchase. One of the closed and funds seized accounts had not had a deposit in over a year.

I am not sure I follow your question

GC were between $50 and $500, hundreds likely deposited into each buyer account
