Hi SAS–

My post above included three links, that’s why it’s deleted.

I love how @oneida_books documented the verification process. So, it wasn’t a surprise for us, when we faced it:

Just an FYI on all the account reverifcations, and why

Just to document my newest “verification.” After clicking the “Start re-verification” (?) and then trying to go back … the Banner and link are gone! (So no screen shot since I forgot) Starting with the first page: [image] Page 2 [image] After Selecting Country: [image] After Selecting Business Type [image] After selecting to continue … [image] OY! Well off to meet up for a Fireworks Shoot Off from one of my vendors. Dinner and a show … what fun! …

In contrast, I chose the “Credit Card Statement” option, and added some refinements of my own, because I felt comfortable that I most-likely could trigger the desired result by doing so:

1. First, I deliberately chose a hard-copy statement from October 2022 - supposedly, out-of-date for the 180-day requirement that some have reported - for the card we’ve always used to supply Credit Method Manager
2. Next, I deliberately scanned a mis-aligned/‘tilted’ copy - on the grounds of possibly evading this or that poorly-targeted first-echelon Amabot, and thereby forcing human interaction - and created a 1-page pdf from the resulting image file
3. I archived that pdf in its original form, and then renamed a copy to “CreditMethodManager_AMEX-053023” - the date I uploaded it, after waiting 5 days for Amazon to enable the option, & the standard abbreviation for the card provider - before uploading that

I cannot say with any surety that any of those efforts played any role in our quick success in clearing that particular hurdle - but I can say that less than 12 hours later, the cherished 'Green Checkmark appeared for that portion

I suspect that - given the parameters of the US INFORM Consumers Act requiring Amazon, among others, to annually re-verify details - it’s probably not too soon to bump this thread.

I thought all we had to do going forward, if the seller already went through the re-verification, was to just hit agree that nothing has changed.

Is Amazon really going to be sending out a couple million postcards every year for this? I don’t think so but I’ve been wrong before.

I would hope that you are correct in expecting that Amazon’s OGC (‘Amazonese’/‘Amazonish’ for “Office of the General Counsel”) will follow that course in this year - but I remain trepid that Amazon’s ever-present fear of yet another impact by this or that regulatory entity, foreign and/or domestic, might throw a monkey-wrench into the works, if for no other reason than that of our Cοngress having disseminated rather-mightily in crafting the parameters for said legislation.
