Amazon keeps holding my account because of payment method - Gear5KB - 08-12-2022
I am honestly so annoyed rn. The past 2 weeks I have had 0 success in making an account that will place an order. Every time I go to order something it goes through then it gets on hold and it says "unusual activity" and that they need to verify my payment method with a billing statement. I've used proxies, firefox, vpn, new sms, and etc. My latest try, I used a completely new phone to do every step and it still did not work (I didn't even want to SE I just wanted to buy these cool pajamas). Honestly lost for words. Maybe I need to stop using a VCC and use a real card. Im going to try again tmrw but with an actual card (gotta sign up for a new one). For clarification sake, for the card info on Amazon I put the random name I used to create the account with and the billing address as my actual address. This is right, right? Any help would be appreciated because at this rate I can't even make a legitimate purchase on Amazon.

Have you had an account banned before?
If you are making a new account I suggest you warm it and age it first.
There are guides on how to do this on the site.

There's a mismatch of Information with all that and your payment system, hence unusual activity Is detected and the account Is put on hold thereafter. What happens If you use your real credentials and a normal credit card, both In your name, and from a residential IP?

I tried making an account and used my real CC info for all of it (the amazon account name was different then my real name but I dont think that matters) and I still said the same thing. I even uploaded my billing statement which should have cleared the account but for some god forsaken reason it still did not work. I even re uploaded another billing statement but to no avail. I used this CC for 2 or 3 SE's before so that could also be a reason. I am going to make a new debit card with a bank and try making a real account and see how it goes. I will try going to a public place with a vpn and use a new device with the new debit card to see if it works. I will provide an update when it is done.
