Received this email from Payoneer today:

Hi,

We are glad to let you know that we are participating in Amazon’s Payment Service Provider Program (PSPP), designed to enhance its ability to detect, prevent and take action against bad actors so Amazon and participating PSPs can continue to protect customers and sellers from fraud and abuse.

Similar to all other participating in PSPs, if your Payoneer account is registered to receive payments from Amazon, Amazon would have access to certain customer data collected by us during the account sign-up process and as you use your account. This may include “Know Your Customer” data such as identity data (e.g., name, nationality), contact information (e.g., address) and details regarding your accounts with Payoneer and your bank accounts. If your Amazon account is deactivated or terminated by Amazon due to abuse, fraud or illegal activity, we may share additional information, including limited transaction related information.

So basically they are going to share all kinda information. Or at least Amazon is taking the right to do so.

Meanwhile, if you are an Amazon seller, they won't even give you the email address of the customer and there are specific rules on what you are allowed to write to the customer, etc.

Now you might ask yourself: Well, who cares? Amazon seems to act as a government authority, collecting all kinda data. Also, how much you earn, how much money is on your account and what bank accounts are connected to it. Wtf

Also funny how they write: "We are glad to let you know".....yeah well, mate...you are glad to let me know you are going to share all my fucking informations? Seriously?
 
Brilliant find. Thanks.

I have just setup an Amazon seller account, and was considering using Payoneer - not worth the risk - especially if Payoneer is used for general trading as well.
