How to Prevent Amazon Account Linking: A Comprehensive Guide
On the Amazon platform, in order to prevent sellers from duplicating products and affecting the order of market competition, Amazon stipulates that each company can only have one account. If you are found to have two or more accounts, they will be considered as linked accounts. This article will discuss in detail how to prevent Amazon account association and ensure that sellers can operate smoothly on the platform.
Methods to avoid account association
1. Ensure an independent network environment
When registering a new account for the first time, you first need to confirm whether the network you are using is independent. If you are using a network distributed from the property, you need to pull an independent network cable. In addition, it is recommended to use a new mobile phone card to register a mobile email address and use this email address to register an Amazon account.
2. Use new registration information
- Email: It is recommended to use niche free email services, such as domestic small email providers that have not cooperated with foreign service providers.
- Phone number: Use a new mobile phone number that has not been registered with an Amazon account.
- Credit Card: If your original credit card resources are exhausted, you can consider purchasing a prepaid credit card.
- Address: The registered address should be different from the old account, even if you use a fake address.
3. Hardware isolation
- Computer: Ensure that the hardware of each computer used for Amazon account operation is independent, including operating system, browser and its plug-ins.
- MAC Address: If you need to reuse your old computer, you will need to change its MAC address.
- Router: No need to worry about sharing a router.
4. Software environment independent
- Operating system: Use a different version or type of operating system.
- Browser: Choose between different browsers and plug-ins.
5. Other preventive measures
- Username and Store Name: There should be significant differences between the old and new accounts.
- IP address: Change ISP or use a dedicated VPN.
- Payment Account: Make sure each account uses an independent payment method.
Notes
- Even if you register on different sites on the same site, you can still use the same network and computer, but be aware of the risk of “co-sitting”.
- Don’t sell a large number of products from the old account at the beginning of the new account. It is best to list some irrelevant products first.
- Keep your account in a healthy state to avoid account closure due to any violations.
To sum up, preventing Amazon account association requires starting from multiple dimensions such as hardware, software, and network to ensure that each link operates independently. Only in this way can the risk of accounts being linked be minimized and the interests of sellers not harmed.
