What email address should I use for Amazon

[lorenavv]

Hi!

Now sure if this is the correct Category to ask my question.

I started on Fiverr about a month ago and have had a few buyers already. I provide Amazon services: upload listings, create variations, help with FBA shipments, etc.

In order to do this, they add me as a user and give me inventory permissions. For every buyer, I have created a new email address and then I delete it. However, I just tried to create a new one for another buyer and google (it was a gmail account) told me I have used my phone number too many times (which they ask for to create the email address)

How do others Sellers manage this? Do you use the same email address to access all your buyers accounts?

Thank you!
Lorena

Hello, could you explain for me since I’m not familiar with how this works what the email address is used for exactly? And why you need new ones all the time?

Hi,

In order to have access to an Amazon account, the owner has two options:

1. give you his email address and password, which would grant you access to all information in the account.
2. invite you to be an user by adding your email address and giving you the necessary permissions to do the job they are paying you for. They normally give you permissions to view their inventory and shipping settings and to create cases on Amazon if necessary. But you cannot access any other information on the account. For the security reasons and to protect the buyer’s Account, option 2 is the one I use (and I believe is the one everyone should use).

Using just one email address is a problem because when you receive the invite from the buyer to become a user, Amazon shows a notification saying that the email is already in use. So that is why I am creating a new one for each buyer, but it’s becoming a problem due to the phone number, which is necessary for code verification

Has that definitely happened to you?

With Google Analytics and other services, I have been added to maybe 100 accounts over the years and still have access to most of them through one email account unless a buyer removes me.

If so, could you use the 10 accounts you have and just get the buyers to remove you at the end of the order? Would that work?

Eg:

Buyer 1 uses lorena1@nothing. com

Buyer 7 uses lorena7@nothing. com

You finish with buyer 1 and ask to be removed from that account.

Buyer 11 uses lorena1@nothing. com

Etc

PS: Great reviews!

HI!

Thanks so much for your reply and your PS 🙂

I haven’t asked my buyers to remove me, thinking that they will… again, for security reasons, but I’m thinking that they probably haven’t. So, I’ll start asking.

Also, I will check Google Analytics. Don’t know how it works, but sounds interesting.

Thanks so much!!

You will be surprised - people rarely remove me from access to their accounts thinking they might want to use me again. It doesnt bother me.

Sorry, what I said was confusing - Google Analytics is a platform that people add me to for me to perform a service like people do with you on Amazon. It’s not an email provider. I was just using it as an example of a platform that allows me to be a user on other people’s accounts

Aahh, ok, I understand. I didn’t think of an email provide, but thought maybe it has one of those computer sharing services.

I will try the email addresses, but the problem I got was that it asked me for my phone number, and that’s when I couldn’t continue creating a new email address. When I entered my phone number, it gave me the alert that the number had already been used too many times. :roll_eyes:

I wonder what happens if I use fake numbers? haha, I guess I[ll find out

Thanks again. 😉

You could ask Amazon support about this. It seems odd they would require a new address if someone does this for multiple clients.

Can you ask your clients to supply you with an email address of their own, the one they create for that specific purpose?

I think there is an application on market place which can generate hundreds of account from a single email address. I think the software name is email clone may be. I am not sure about the exact name but I am confirmed about software.

Maybe the buyer you worked with (who has the all permissions) removed you from accessing their account, That email should be free to link with another account. isn’t it? :roll_eyes: This is just my thought and that’s how i was expecting that thing to happen. But i don’t think so; since you are an expert in the field, you should definitely know that already if that’s something possible. 🙂

Also I think you can create a google account without providing a mobile number. I didn’t create a one recently. maybe it is now mandatory as you explained.
