As an Amazon seller, you always want to operate with multiple accounts, but you are always worried about being associated. Some sellers even have only one seller account because they don’t understand Amazon’s association mechanism, but they are worried about being associated. These situations are caused by sellers being unfamiliar with Amazon’s association mechanism. This chapter will take you through these correlation mechanisms in detail.
Analysis of various account association methods
As for account association, many sellers are very talkative about it. Some sellers who do not understand the rules even cannot figure out what association is. Obviously they only have It is completely unfounded to worry about an account being related to some unfounded factors every day. The so-called account association means that under Amazon’s requirements, each seller is only allowed to have one set of accounts to operate Amazon. This subject refers to the seller. In other words, no matter what method you use, sellers are theoretically only allowed to have one set of accounts on Amazon.
1. What exactly is account association?
Many people are not satisfied with opening one account and want to make money quickly by opening multiple accounts, so Amazon has begun to develop crackdowns on these people. associated policies.
But there is a question: does opening different sites with the same set of information count as related? The answer is yes. Because according to the definition of association, a subject can only open one site, otherwise it will open multiple sites, so it will be associated. It’s just that this kind of association is allowed by Amazon. A seller’s set of information is allowed to open Amazon in multiple countries.
Once your account in a certain country is closed by Amazon for some reason, accounts in other countries will also be closed within a certain period of time, but this time is not fixed.
So let’s summarize, the so-called account association refers to the behavior of a person opening multiple Amazon accounts in the same country through some means. However, there is no problem for an entity to open accounts in multiple countries at the same time. In addition, if you only have one account and can log in both at work and at home, as long as you take security precautions, it will be fine. The term “account association” has nothing to do with it.
2. Software correlation
The so-called software correlation refers to the correlation caused by various software in the seller’s computer. Specific elements include the following.
1. Browser
Browser is the number one culprit of all associations. Most sellers log in to the backend through various browsers, and those associated elements are also They are all messages reported by the browser. So, what information does the seller’s browser tell Amazon to “sell” the seller?
2. Browser related
This includes the browser name, version number, browser plug-ins, and pages that the browser has browsed. These factors will be taken by Amazon. to judge.
3. Computer system related
The system version number, resolution, time zone, etc. of the seller’s computer can be told to Amazon through the seller’s browser.
4. IP
IP is the most commonly heard correlation factor. We do not operate two accounts under the same 1. However, this related factor is also the most severely hacked factor, which will be explained in detail later.
5. Links in emails
Cross-point links are not allowed. You can log in to two mailboxes on the same computer, but they are not sent from the mailbox operated on the local computer. Don’t click on the link to open it.
3. Hardware correlation, operation correlation and other correlations
The so-called hardware correlation refers to the correlation caused by the same computer hardware of the seller. The specific correlation factor is the computer network card. Regardless of whether you are connected to the Internet through wired or wireless methods, once the network card is connected to the network and logged in to the Amazon backend, the network card cannot be used to operate a new account. Yes, you read that right, that’s all.
The so-called operational correlation refers to the fact that Amazon’s operators were not careful or unaware during the operation process and eventually led to correlation. We list the factors as follows.
Used the same email template to respond to different customers in different accounts. Amazon monitors emails sent by sellers to customers, and no two people in the world will write exactly the same email. Therefore, this behavior can be considered a high-risk behavior and can be easily identified by Amazon.
? Log in to your email. We cannot use different email addresses with the same company subordinate name to apply for accounts. Of course, public email addresses such as QQ, Sina, and Gmail are not included in this list.
?Payment card. You cannot use the same payment card of the same person to collect payments from two accounts, otherwise they will be linked.
?Payment card. The payment card is the same as the collection card, but it should be noted that we can register different accounts with different card numbers and the same person’s credit card, but the billing addresses of these two cards must be different.
Password. Do not set the same password for different accounts. Although the password is not stored in clear text, after Amazon has encrypted it with the algorithm, the result of the same password will still be the same.
?Overseas warehouse. The overseas warehouses here refer to those irregular overseas warehouses. Most sellers use some private warehouses instead of formal warehouse addresses, which are easily suspected by Amazon.
?Website. Amazon can check the Whois information of the seller’s website. Please keep the Whois information of the website used by each brand consistent.
