Amazon Stealth Buyer

[kvncsta]

If anyone has had luck with making Amazon buyer accounts that last please comment/send me a message/or add me on Skype @ kvncsta. I REALLY appreciate help as buying from Amazon is how Im paying for college. Ill gladly donate $ if you can get me back for the long run!

I'm guessing what you are doing is buying from Amazon and using Amazon Prime to ship to your customers?

Sorry, but Amazon will terminate accounts for that, there is no way around it.

I guessed this because Amazon does not usually have a problem with buyer accounts UNLESS fraud is being committed, or you are using them as a drop-shipper.

If you use them to send items, you will have to pay for the shipping, it is the only way an account will last.

If this is not the issue and I am mistaken, let us know what the issue IS, as it makes it a lot easier to help you to solve your problem.

No, Im not drop shipping. As many of you know Amazon sells many of their items at little or negative margin in an effort to gain customer loyalty long term. I take advantage of this by buying up items in flash sales etc etc. I was banned because I was buying too many of the same items and exceeding the quantity they want to sell to individuals...I guess. Obviously I won't be doing this anymore, If Im able to get back on Amazon Ill be buying 1-4 items of whatever flash sales they have. But overall, NO I don't use Prime.

OK, then it becomes easier. I would suggest you starting a few accounts, so that you can get the quantities you want without Amazon throwing a hissie fit.

Wouldn't it be much simpler if Amazon just stated LIMIT 2 PER PERSON or something?

Anyway, create a few accounts, each with it's own address, and just buy a smaller number of items on each one. PO Boxes are cheap, cheap and UPS Store addresses are not too much more. Maybe you know people who will allow you to receive merchandise at their address?

Then, just create the accounts using the standard stealth techniques and you should be good to go.

BTW, I'd just like to add that I think it SUCKS that Amazon does this. If they want to impose a quantity limit, then they should just be upfront about it like Newegg, or Macy's.

Lol yeah but as humans we are kings of adapting! So the address part would be a simple fix but I always get screwed when it comes to paying. So which gift cards would be best? As far as IP Addresses, MAC, etc etc...Would using a remote desktop fix all of that?

Could you guide me on how to make the account? Ive been reading the forums, bought the book etc but feel as though Im missing something. I really think that using gift cards will eliminate what has been screwing me over but now I need a new remote desktop as the past ones are burned.

The Amazon Ghost guide more than covers the entire process. Buyers accounts are easier than seller accounts. But wouldn't paying for Gift cards eliminate the money saved during their flash sales? lol
