Hi there,

I hope this isn't the wrong subforum I'm posting in.

Recently I've been trying to grow new amazon accounts but it seems to be harder than I thought.

Once I try to make a warmup purchase, Amazon blocks me , stating that I need to verify that I am the owner of the VCC I am paying with.

Btw, I am trying with Amazon.de

I used incognition without canva blocking or anything that might be suspicious.

Ofc I also used new ip and a new gmail.

Before ordering I scrolled a few days because I legitimately couldn't decide which item to get.

I used wise with a new VCC that seemed to be from Norway.

For billing address I used a random address since from what I know AVS is only available in US, Canada and Uk.

The only thing that might be possible is that they detect that the VCC issuer is in Norway but I state that my billing address is in Germany.

Could this be the mistake or something else?

I would appreciate any help!

I believe Wise has you register your cards to your billing address, have you changed that to match the Germany address?

I haven´t changed the billing address in my wise account. However, I was left with the impression that the address verification system operates only in US/CA/UK and they can´t actually see it.

I wonder if it's because Wise is a UK company. Like even for me, the default currency is the GBP.

Is that the only reason for the block?

In other words, If It's verified, the Issue will be solved?

[thefawkesguy]

Yes, this is the only reason. I wanted to avoid that so that I don't need to fake billing documents. Also, I know they reject a lot of them. I just don't get what is raising the flags.

I just don't get what is raising the flags.

There'd be a mismatch with the details on the VCC and your Amazon account, hence the request to verify ownership of the VCC to confirm you're the rightful owner.

Exactly what I am thinking but how can they see it? Amazon shouldn´ t be able to see my VCC address. This is what is bugging me. I want to understand it and maybe find a way to avoid this. Thanks for your help so far Mothered!

Amazon shouldn´ t be able to see my VCC address.

They'd see the address, but not the full card number - only the BIN number, the first 4-6 digits.

Doesn't that work only in US/Canada and UK? I read about address verification service and it shouldn't operate outside of these countries.
