Hello from Amazon.

We closed your account because we believe that you registered a stolen credit card to the account and fulfilled Amazon orders with counterfeit or stolen merchandise. Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we do not provide details on our investigation methods.

If we determine that a seller account has been used to engage in fraud or other illegal activity, we may permanently withhold remittances and payments. In accordance with this policy, we do not plan to transfer any funds to you.

1. How long was the account open for?

2. Sell anything risky/f*ke?

3. How much balance did you keep on the cc?

[ceilos456]

1. 6 months, passed original seller merchant review

2. Not that i was aware of

3. kept $20 but it was a PREPAID not a GIFT CARD, does that matter?

Take a photo of the card and post up the picture to make sure.

The message you got from Amazon can be a GENERIC message - it can happen when accounts get linked or your account is suspected of selling fraudulent stuff.

It's a problem if you registered the prepaid with your legit info and used another name, address!

[ceilos456]

With the PREPAID card all that was required was to register the Zip Code (and you didnt even have to)

And with the Gift card maybe everything needs to be registered???

When I originaaly researched the forum for good gift cards to use I decided on the Vanilla Visa $25 Gift Card, and I remember someone said not to get the VV re-loadable, jut the straight $25 gift card.

I have had a similar message on a deleted account. However, we both know these cards weren't stolen, as others have said it is likely a generic message. They are not going to say exactly why they are suspending you all the time.

That's pretty much how they all work, they won't tell you straight out why they are deleting your account.

Also, see me recent post about Amazon no longer taking gift cards. I had given a VV on one account that worked at registration, but after about a moth they said I did not have a card registered and showed "exception" under that with the VV GC info.

You kinda need to be 100% sure on your answer to #2...

[rsot]

Good point unkown....missed that one...need to be 100% sure

Just a side note about reviews. I have 4 accounts that are over 9 months grossing at least $5000 a month and never went under review. Have good metrics

[ceilos456]

So have we decided to go with the Prepaid or the Gift Card?

Or is it deemed irrelevant?
