[mothered]

I meant that Im going to create a new account with all different personal information (everything that mothered includes in their checklist). Then, I want to use that account to send 4-5 items to my address (the one associated with legit orders) so I can build credibility on that account and not make it too inconvenient for my friend to keep accepting packages. After those orders, I want to send an order that I will SE to my friend's house. Will they catch on to my refunding this way?

It might be dumb to use the same address if I'm trying to disassociate myself, so if anything I can send legit orders to a locker for that account to build credibility. I plan to SE $1-2k items. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume I can just keep refunding without worrying about my accounts getting blocked as long as none of my refunds trigger an investigation or red flag. Is that why building credibility first is important?

Also, If I created a new AMZ account but already logged in from the same device and network I use for legit orders, should I just start a new acc from scratch? Or does it only really matter what my network and device is when I place the order on that account.

You're complicating matters, which can easily be avoided with a few simple steps.

The fake account Is the focal point of attention, so as you've mentioned and as per my recommendation, create one by changing every Identifiable detail and treat It as a totally separate account. Build credibility by purchasing a few cheap Items, and allow It to mature a little. Then start SEing by allowing a sufficient gap from one to the next and change methods In between each SE, as well as throw In legit purchases every so often. In terms of devices, each account Is dedicated and solely used on a given device.

Don't overthink It. It's that simple.

Thanks for the replies, I've read your blogs and they're very helpful, but I just have a few specific questions:

I don't want to overcomplicate things, I just don't want to burden my friends with a bunch of packages -- that's why I want to initially use my address that I associate with legit orders for small items to build credibility, then a friend's house for the item I want to refund (on the same account). But are u saying with the new account, I should just never use my real address?

I also just wanted to know if AMZ has automatically associated my new account with my legit one because I've accidentally logged into it from the same device and network. Does it really matter or can I just wait a day or 2 before using that account again
