Thinking about Amazon Flex but very concerned with my seller account

I’ve done some research and talked to Amazon Flex support but wanted to ask on SAS also.
It sounds like I will be safe to do Amazon Flex as long as I create a separate account other than my seller account using a totally different email address. Is this true?
When I did some research, I see some posts saying their seller account was affected/deactivated. May be these folks used their seller account email to apply?
I’ll be using a different email address to apply but since I run my seller account from home, my home address/phone number will be all same. Will this cause any issues?

I did it for one day when things were quire slow about five years ago.

At that time I used the same email as I have for my seller account without any issues. I will say this –

At the time they had the BEST GPS I had ever seen – down to a couple feet of destinations. It also was a memory hog and battery drain on my phone. It was a COLD day (not in hell, but close) and I had to have the phone plugged in every time I got back in the car.

Additionally, when they ask for the make and model of the vehicle, do NOT plan on taking anything extra along. I had my small cooler with my Diet Coke(s) and BARELY had room for it. They filled up every available inch of space with packages.

I had (as I recall) a 4 hour route and it took closer to 5 hours because of having to park and walk on crowded city blocks with parking only on one side of the street – THAT they did not seem to plan for and walking 1/2 a block and back in the snow and ice was time consuming (and cold).

If it had been summer AND I needed the cash I probably would have done more but orders picked up on other sites.

Good luck – and have good shoes and maybe a good back brace and car charger!

Thank you for your input!
That’s what I’m afraid also of happening, X hour block turning out to be an hour more to complete.
I’m still a little worried about using my same seller email though… hmmm.. I’ll need to do some more research.
