Since the beginning of the year, I have had a solid dropshipping system going using Amazon Gift Cards bought with bitcoin to then purchase the items on Amazon and ship directly to the customer.

For months, this method was working very well and no issues. Then my primary account got GC locked. Used a second account, no issues for a while, then locked. Third and then fourth, even faster. Now I am trying VPN, hot spot login, new accounts and fresh browsers. Still got those accounts locked.

I need a solution before this becomes a bigger crisis. Does anyone have advice on how to use Amazon and redeem Gift Cards without accounts getting locked out?
 
Crisis is a good word to use. Unfortunately, as of right now, virtually everyone is in the same boat with the same problem. I had the same system going as well and it worked like a well oiled machine for many months. Until somewhat recently, I started losing accounts. Typically, they will simply shadow ban you, you will get a wrong password error and a reset is impossible. No matter what info you provide they won't respond or re-open the accounts.

I started reaching out to associates and other people who are doing the same and everyone has told me the same things, all their buyer accounts are getting banned/closed. I've even talked to drop shippers who are buying their gift cards directly from amazon with their credit card and they are having problems as well. Something has changed at amazon and it's not for the better. I have spoken to over a dozen people and groups who all have told me the same stories, the worst part is that no one has a solution. Everyone is experimenting with various tatics, aged accounts, residential IPs, etc. No one seems to have a solution. Everyone told me this started happening 1-2 months ago. Dark times indeed.
 
I heard that having a business account can solve the issue, but in order to have a business account you need to provide all necessary info they gonna ask for. once your business account gets approved, you can mask your dropshopping orders by ordering lets say 20/30 products ( 1-2 euro products ) to your business real address to convince amazon you are having a proper business etc . the more orders you deliver to your real business address the better its status become, its like minus plus points system. honestly i did not experiment with this method, but you can try it, amazon tends to treat business way different since you are allowed technically to dropship using a business account since companies do lot of purchases and deliveries
 
Same is the case with seller accounts. Seems Amazon is going through a transition and discouraging drop shipping.
However instead of VPN and Hotspot, i would suggest you to use multilogin.
 
If you just need to order products on Amazon using bitcoin there are other sites that do this, you order and pay in BTC and the order will be placed and shipped for you.
 
You got locked for using carded, ewhored or god knows what kind of cards. If you stacking vanila GC.

How to proceed your business?? SPEND SOME FUCKING MONEY.

Next time, be more open and honest while asking a quesion.

Ps: you will get banns alot. Why, aint you in Amazon business? You gotta know this.

I am familiar with (and have used) Purse.io. It works alright, though there is no way to control when something ships and how fast it ships and maintain decent, consistent discounts. You can order products to your own business and reship, but that raises expenses and need for manpower. It can work though, if tracking number can be uploaded to ebay without setting off red flags.

I don't know what I was not open enough with my question. When you say "spend some money", on what specifically should I spend it on to solve my problem? You gotta know what? That Gift Cards bought through third-parties can be bad and cause banning? Is that what you mean?
 
Lol.. Majority of those cards are socially engineered mate and are products of fraud
 
Yep I agree with the statements being made about the gcs either being carded or obtained illegally, I haven't had any trouble with getting locked and I've been doing a similar thing so IDK.

Do you have advice on how to weed out the bads ones that we may not have considered?

Most important is that the redeemed gift cards are physical cards! Only buy physical amazon gift cards ;)

So, we buy cards on Paxful. Cards have to be physical, have a photo of full front and back plus have a same-day receipt, be paid with cash, and we don't take large cards over 100.00. If the image doesn't pass a photoshop scan we cancel the trade. The trader has to provide ID if we ask and upload any photos we need, like writing on the receipt a specific term or photographing themselves holding the card and receipt. What else can we do to weed out fraud?

That’s the best you can do on Paxful or pretty much in general.
But the most important part about your procedure is to only accept physical cards ;)

Even with that procedure, we are having accounts locked. I need a way to keep accounts around longer or not get locked. Any advice on that one?

Can’t help you with that - maybe it’s a problem of Geo as I only redeemed GC from my country. If you’re doing it from the US and redeem two GCs from NY, one from CA, etc. that might be the problem, but quite frankly I can’t tell for sure.
I haven’t been restricted nor banned yet when I redeemed GCs.

Is there a way to identify the regions on the cards?

On which website do you buy gift cards?
Paxful?
Yes

Well, I have never needed to, hence I, quite frankly, have no clue. Maybe the pattern differs for different states? (could be?)
If you buy GC for e.g. French or Germany, these countries are "smaller" then the US and all the states ^^
