Hm...I think I JUST figured out why Amazon deletes addresses

after an item is marked shipped. I bet they catch a TON of newbies this way…this fool still thought he had proof that Amazon provided him “10 incomplete addresses”

I love that they all say their account is “healthy”. It isn’t, it says your deactivated

Providing fake tracking numbers isn’t the way.

I’m still amused about his slip up…stating he already has a “shoplift store”

Clearly a typo, yet so clearly also true…

But the best part was their source —

EVERY single day I am shocked at how little people understand how business actually works. I would guess they also paid a guru to teach them this business plain.

Ugh

10 posts were split to a new topic: NSFE: Amazon SUSPENDED All Sellers???

Oh my gosh, please flag for NSFE mods to remove the images of addresses of the Buyers. :grimacing:

there is nothing but a first name town/state…

True, but in those areas that might be enough to identify individuals, AND Sellers aren’t supposed to share/use ANY contact information from orders like this.

I just flagged it…maybe more than one flag will get attention (doubtful…).

Using the postal code, scammers can narrow down and identify the buyer with just the first name.

Worse yet it’s toys that are very likely not tested for lead, etc. and lacking CPSC’s (Child Product Safety Certificates).

Especially when the first name is as unusual as P****k.

Strange as it may seem, I ran into an “Amazon Drop Shipping Expert” in my favorite bar in Los Cristianos, where we have a small cottage. He was from the UK, and he was making a video about his “lavish lifestyle”, and breaking the concentration of the high stakes ($0.10 a point!) darts game I was playing with several other regulars.

So, I went over and asked him if he was new in town, and he said no, that he was staying at the H10 Big Sur (the equivalent of a Holiday Inn for the Brits, who come to Tenerife in such numbers as to prompt a protest movement against them by the locals, understandably concerned about how “sustainable” it is in terms of energy use, pollution, and what to do with all the trash generated).

So, I asked him if all was OK, as he was on the phone for quite some time. He explained that he was making a video for his followers. I asked him which church he was pastor at, and he replied that no, he did not have a church, that he taught people how to enjoy a better lifestyle via selling on Amazon. I pointed out that the bar (on the warf) had a very blue-collar clientele, even the name of the place translated into “The Stevedore”, and that the H10 was a hotel for tourists on a tight budget, so he should have gone more upscale.
We darts players were headed to our cars, and we invited him along with us to what we said would be a far better place to film - at the finest hotel poolside bar on the island at the Sir Anthony.
He jumped at the offer, and we went outside where he saw the lineup of our cars (we dart players are car nuts) so there were several high-end exotics, and my 1962 Triumph Spitfire, not a supercar, but nicely restored. He was impressed by our vehicles, so I told him that we all had retired to the island on our eBay sales.
He stopped dead at this, and realized that we were all laughing at him, the poor jerk. He walked off, and declined our invitation.
Good times.

Please tell me that ANY of this story is true, cause I hope it is!

This is all an unvarnished and 100% true report of what actually happened.

We were annoyed at the fellow, as he was being loud at 6pm on a weeknight, and my gang thinks fast on their feet, so he immediately got a round of echoes of “yeah, eBay, for sure… love my eBay!.. sure - Star Wars Figurine HEAVEN…”
