A reader asked me what is Amazon account association? How to prevent Amazon account association? Today I will talk about this topic, and friends who are interested can take a look!
What is Amazon account linking?
Account association means that a seller has multiple accounts at the same time.
According to Amazon's official regulations, a person or company can only have one Amazon account. If Amazon finds that a seller has two or more Amazon accounts through detecting various data, these accounts will be linked.
What are the factors associated with Amazon accounts? How to prevent Amazon account association?
Amazon's associated accounts are determined by a variety of factors, and Amazon's servers use several factors to detect whether these accounts are associated. It’s not determined by a single factor, so if you have a factor that makes Amazon think you have account association, it will only be put on a potential listing blacklist, not an immediate blacklist.
1. Software
Amazon can detect it through cookies, browser fingerprints, images or Flash in emails, and dynamic IP. Since dynamic IP cannot be modified, these four aspects are mainly introduced here.
①Cookies, which can record your user IP, password, pages browsed, duration of stay and other information. Amazon will search and record some information provided by cookies and associate it with your account.
② Browser fingerprint refers to the browser plug-in that detects system fonts, operating system version, typing method, typing speed, etc. Amazon's newest servers can record this data through browser fingerprinting.
③Independent network cables, computers and routers cannot 100% avoid Amazon's detection. Amazon can determine whether accounts are linked based on people's usage habits. So make sure the browser is different on different computers, especially the installed plugins.
④ Pictures or Flash in the email. If there are pictures or Flash objects loaded in the email, your IP address can be read and sent back to the server. It is recommended to turn off the automatic loading of images and Flash on the Email side.
2. Hardware Information
Amazon will detect your network card address, router address, hard drive information, and broadband information. At the same time, the hardware information is collected, and after collection, the information of these hardware programs will be sent to Amazon's server, and then your account and this information will be bundled into one.
The network card Mac address and the router Mac address. The network card and the router have a unique identifier, which represents your computer and account. This logo can be read by Amazon's servers. Therefore, multiple accounts should not use the same network card or router. One router corresponds to one fixed account and they cannot be mixed.
Your computer's hard drive information and broadband information will be sent to Amazon's server, such as the size of your hard drive and what brand it is. Sellers with multiple accounts can choose different network operators.
If a computer account is closed, can I still use the computer? It can be used, but the following measures must be taken:
①Reinstall the computer system. Clear related data
②Remove the old network card, or if it is combined with the motherboard, you can buy an external network card.
3. Account Information
①Credit card - Register several credit cards.
② Payment method - different accounts use different payment methods
③Phone-Use different phone numbers for different accounts.
④Email-Use different email addresses for different accounts
⑤Registration address-The registration addresses of different accounts cannot be the same.
Try to keep the information between each account different. The above is an introduction to the factors that cause Amazon account association and how to prevent Amazon account association. I hope it will be helpful to everyone and help them avoid the risk of store closure and account suspension.
