He does not know the "technical details" wow

Ok, thanks. It has always been nearly instantaneous for me, like a couple of seconds. This time, it wasn't approved until 2 hours later, so this is the first time this happened for me.


I did the transaction around 5-6 AM PST time, so was surprised when this happened. Funnily enough, my past transactions have always been at night after 8PM PST, some even around midnight to 2 AM PST.

Good news/bad news - I never called, but got this email - I don't remember why I would have set it up as business (unless that was needed to make it fee free?) Not sure why they can't convert vs having to create a new ID?

Greetings from Amazon Payments.
Upon review of your account, it appears it was originally opened as a Business account. Since your account is found to be associated with a non business activity, as required to utilize the service, we have closed the account.
Since you only use your account for Amazon Webpay transactions, you will want to open a new Personal account which you can then use going forward without a 14 day hold being placed on your funds. Please know the new account will need to be created using a unique email address.
You can create a new Personal account with Amazon Payments Services in order to send and receive funds for your personal use. You can find more information on this matter by going to our Help pages:

Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns by writing to [email protected].
Thank you for using Amazon Payments.
Sincerely,

Just created 1 new account and everything went through flawlessly - $$ is already on the way to my checking.

for the first time, my payment did not go through instantly yesterday either. it went through about 6 hours later though. just give it some time.

Thanks! I was freaking out - my payments always go through - now one of my payments is pending - will sleep better :-)

So frustrating. Signed myself up with no problem. Tried to set up one for my wife and verification was pending for hours and now they need me to fax in a copy of her government identification even though I verified the e-mail and successfully added a bank account.

Hi,
I am new for the amazon payments.
Trying to meet $10,000 minimum spending on one card.
My question is: Is it too risky to do A-B-C-A, when A and C using the same cc with different bank account and different first name?
Since today is the last day of the month I would really appreciate the answer ASAP, thank!

Your wish is my command.

I had a couple of accounts closed when using the same cc.

However, some folks report no problem using the same cc in up to 5 accounts.

Make your own conclusion.

You can almost certainly get away with it for 1/2 months if that is all you need/are trying to do.

Another YMMV.
I've been using the same card over 6 accounts.
No issue so far.
*knock on wood*

Happy 1st! :) All my payments are sent and withdrawn. I would say another successful month is upon us!

Update:
Just did it and worked so far with $4000 for April and May.

Odd. Trying to send payment today and I cannot select the credit card option. It says "No credit cards available" But when I go to manage my credit cards on my account, I have several listed...

I have the same problem...no clue
