Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

I know replying to ebay messages via gmail (with all stealth tips followed) is safe and does not cause linking between accounts.

Is this the same case for Amazon? or do you have to login to the amazon or email account and to respond safely?

I know Amazon are more stringent, so would they pick-up the IP from the senders email (which is possible)?

so far for me its safe. i use thunderbird.

You have to turn off "show images" in the setttings

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Yep, turn off show messages, personally i do this as soon as i make a new user account before hitting the web the first time (before going away from whatever browser your using home page)

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

So just to confirm, you guys have turned of external images, and responding to Amazon messages / viewing Amazon messages has been safe and not caused accounts to link?

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

always turn off images in email for any platform.

Avoid any chances of linking.

Of course, take all preventative measures into account - But can Amazon still link after that?

I rarely use anything but their wonderful system.....:rolleyes:

Did it with a brand new real UK account years ago & got a nasty wtfudge are you doing email from amazon... Tend to avoid this method still.

Did not like the fright
:doh:

I just log into the site and reply there - avoids hassles

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

There are times when you have to contact seller performance directly through email I dont think you can do this through the "contact" logged into your account. Don't these cases created in "contact"always go to another department?

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

I try to never log into amazon and always reply to messages via Gmail. It really helps with response time as well.

I set all my gmail accounts up on a phone and tablet. Makes everything much much easier for me. I can reply from any place anytime.

Exactly the response I was after, props to yankee!!

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

I dont think this works as when you reply through gmail your ip address goto amazon server and if this ip is linked to suspended account they link your account with that so best to avoid

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

I thought the same. But Yankee is a reputable member of the forum. If he says its worked for him, I believe its worked for him

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

wrong and it has never been that way.

If it was that way, almost all the members on this forum would have linked amazon, ebay and paypal accounts.

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

In any case, just send the email form the same IP you use to login

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Thats far from ideal and defeats the purpose of why we are doing this :(

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Complete waste of time.

The whole point of reply from gmail is that it is safe and you do not have to login or worry about IPs etc...

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

yeh if you use same ip then its fine but I had issue in past where i logged in gmail from suspended ip address and replied to email within few minute account gone

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Im calling BS or coincidence.

Gmail does not even work that way. Gmail shows a Google IP to the recipient.
Tons of threads over the years proving this.

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Defeats what purpose of dong what?

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Of not logging in....


The entire point of reply from an email is you can do it from any device from any place. Not logging in, changing IPs etc...
