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 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?

Don't these cases created in "contact"always go to another department?

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.

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

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

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

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