Hello everyone,
In my experience, using VPNs often leads to issues with orders, as they frequently prompt requests for billing statements. This is because AVS does not seem to work well with VPNs. Additionally, proxies and Wi-Fi hotspots provided by mobile carriers may also present problems.
One way to understand this is by visiting sites like https://browserleaks.com/ip, which reveal a small portion of the information that e-shops can access from your web request. Specifically, I'd like to draw your attention to the "TCP/IP Fingerprint" section, particularly the "Link" row. Here's what you might see for different scenarios:
WireGuard: Displays "tunnel/vpn"
Mobile hotspot: Displays "tunnel/vpn"
Connected directly to a home router: Displays "modem/ethernet"
Ideally, you want the "modem/ethernet" result to appear, as this indicates you're a typical consumer.
Another aspect to consider is your phone number. I recommend purchasing an inexpensive phone number for around $5 that you can use a few times and then discard for new orders. Avoid using online phone verification services, as these numbers are often reused and might already be registered or banned.
As for other tips, I suggest using common sense and aiming to blend in with the majority of internet users. In other words, try not to appear unique.
Please note that my perspective on VPNs differs from that of @mothered, so it's possible that both approaches work. In general, @mothered might employ safer practices during his work compared to mine, as I choose not to use VPNs for the reasons mentioned above. Nevertheless, my approach has worked for me, even after experiencing OFM issues with Amazon across 30 +accounts.
Thank you and happy SEing!
