Additionally some survey requesters will track IP address and if the account is represented as a US account and the IP is not US based then the requester can reject your submission (same situation for batches but less likely as batches typically don't care about demographics like researchers do).

SMH, so for those of you trying to buy the accounts let me tell you the same thing I just told @krithish :
When you sign up for Amazon they require your Social Secuirty Number, Copies of your Identificaiton, they check Ip addresses, and they do bank verifications.
They are not playing games when it comes to working with them because they have to charge you after you pass $500 in earnings. It is called taxes. If you try to buy an account here is what is going to happen:
The Person Selling:
Even signing in from an IP that isn't US could cause them to mark your account as fraudlent. So if you have other accounts optimizing Amazon... count them as gone.
This is happening with Amazon, Paypal... it's working it's way down the board. So all these black hat ways of trying to get around it, reconsider.
And to those making Mturk accounts with US IPS selling them, this whole process they are about to roll out to verify identites are going to shut that down.

The Person Selling:
- If the person buying it goes over the $500, YOU are responsible for all the taxes on the money they earn.
- If the person gets your Amazon banned, it reflects on ALL your amazon accounts.
- The person you sell it to then has access to your Social Secuirty Number and other person info

Okay obviously you don't get that no one is going to put themselves through all that just to make pennies on the dollar.
If they use Amazon to sell Ebooks for $40 + each, why would they sell to you for less than $5, just to have their account banned because your ip or something else kicks back?
What if they have a cart or use Amazon's affiliate program? Who would mess that up for pennies on the dollar?
Try Fiverr or other microtask sites.
It's better to do it legit and get paid for it than to try to skim scam the process only to not get paid when you really need it.

Benntenn is banned from BHW so you are not going to make any contact with them. Also, standard members are not allowed to sell here, which is what it sounds like benntenn was probably doing.
Lastly, this is a very old and inactive thread so its best not to bump these types of threads.
Closed.
