Oh. Huh. Now I understand. I guess I've never considered doing that - can't really imagine why I would.

I am hoping to utilize amazon pymts to make a monthly 1K repayment of a down pymt loan from my in-laws. Will this transaction cause me any issues w/ amazon? Input is appreciated. Thanks. -jeff

I'm finishing up the last few hundred posts here, and unfortunately haven't seen the answers to quite all my questions. Real quick:

1. I haven't signed up for AP yet. I actually place quite a bit of value on my regular amazon account, and don't want to risk losing it. Would it be smart/allowed for me to make a new account just for AP? **YES**

2. My understanding is that all of the following are frowned upon, or risky, or something. But I haven't been able to find any mention of them less than a couple months old, which as we know is an eternity in this game. Any thoughts on these options?
- A > B > A **Chancy**
- A > B > bank, B > A > bank **Chancy**
- Having the same bank account for the sender & receiver **Chancy**
- Having different accounts for sender & receiver, but both names being on both (joint) accounts **OK**

In the Jungle there are few hard and fast rules (as the internal controls in there are a bit whacky). Some are ignored by the Bezo tribe of headhunters (some people get away with murder) while some end up with their heads on a pole (as in permanently banned from Amazon).

Take it from an old jungle witch doctor, go for a chain (A>B>C>A) rather than play ping pong (A>B>A) with the wife.

In essence, can my wife & I send money both ways, and is it a problem if we use joint bank accounts to do so?

Sorry for the noobish questions. I'm going to go back further in the thread, and if I find answers to my own questions, I'll post them for others.

I've been doing A>B>C for many moons, leaving out the segment that would complete the ring.

A>B then deposit into bank acct (which just happens to be a joint acct) allows a B>A via bank transfer that has nothing to do with AP = doesnt run into any probs with AP since to AP its simply A>B then B withdraws into their bank acct :D

Thanks for this information. My scenario is also similar. I just created the account today. Another question.. Does "B" have to pay any tax or fee to receive the money and send to his/her bank account? Please assume that "A" will be using "Services" option to send money.

Nope ,only in regards to AP and not other PP transfers where its the reverse and its Good & Services where they charge instead of $$ transfer

Thanks.. so A -> B -> Joint bank account ( B will add the joint account as his own account on AP) and both have the same address should work without any issues, right? A and B have different first and last names. Thanks in advance!

For a few months now I've been doing A>B>Bank then B>A>Bank. I don't do these at exactly the same time - I usually spread them out by at least a week or two. I haven't had any problems.

Both of the bank accounts are INDIVIDUAL accounts. Both credit cards are mine (A) but on the B>A transaction I use an AU account which is not otherwise listed on my Amazon account.

Edit to add: A and B have the same address but different last names, if that matters at all.
