Successes and Issues with Amazon - Looking for alternatives 05-29-2024, 10:08 PM
#1
Hi Guys,
In the last few months I've been hitting Amazon in order to fund a good cause. I more or less buy low weight, easily re-sellable items, EB them (or other item dependent options like BG), and then sell them after.
For the most part, very successful. Very hard to mess up if the order arrives. However, amazon's account flagging system has gotten really good. I'm quite precise in how I track and change account details, but this is something I haven't seen before. My last 3 accounts have been "temporarily put on hold", and I suspect it is because of a similarity match with the address (and I have a few which I alternate with typos). Literally everything else is different, including IP, payment method etc.
It would be a lot more preferable for me to use a site which doesn't require accounts, and has easily re-sellable items. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also feel free to ask questions about what I've been doing.
The criteria is pretty much;
1) not too hard to SE
2) easily re-sellable
3) ships to parcel lockers
4) option to not have an account (or a bad flagging system)
Remember, all things I write here are purely works of fiction (yes I have a good imagination). Any relation to real life is purely coincidence.

Sounds like they can probably clock the addresses despite jigging the addresses. I would find another drop and see if they still give you issues.
Are you using the Amazon lockers?

Why are you fixated on Amazon? There are hundreds of online retailers
Blade right hand, heat left
Large retailers, bereft
As master of seal

Yeah that's my point. I started off with it because it was easy, but now want to move on. Do you have any suggestions?

I might be mistaken, but why can’t u put a random address in your local areas if it’s getting shipped to a locker anyways
Your billing address could be random, but they still need to send the parcel to a locker. Hence, the address on the invoice would look like:
Parcel Locker (insert number) (insert street address)
It appears amazon flags if either the number or the street address is remotely similar. This is hard to get around because creating lockers requires id

Not amazon, my carrier provides their own ones

While I'd love to find an easy and reliable method for Amazon, it's much easier to just focus on the low hanging fruit first.
Local retailers, smaller online shops etc will keep you busy. Then hit Amazon every 1-2 months to keep suspicion down.

When you say reliable method for Amazon, do u mean to do with accounts? Cause generally speaking, something like EB has a super high success rate of amazon. Trouble is getting accounts put on hold ;-;
