WM is also very sensitive to orders made with gift cards. The gift card could be flagged as bought with a stolen credit card in their system. I believe its the same with Target.

Just got an email from Amazon they are changing my business account (that I created for BGs) to a personal account due to "usage of Amazon Business does not fit with the services we provide." The account is still open. Only did 6 shipments in 3 months, with largest order under $400. Did not use any gift cards or anything I know of unusual. Anyone else have this, and would shipments from the now personal account go through? I get the concern about BG but always weird how they're fine with the first six shipments but no more. I don't care if that account gets shutdown but would hate for my main Amazon account to get shut down. I have not read entire thread so may have missed some relevant comments, thanks.

it’s common for business accounts to lose prime, and to get downgraded to a personal account if you’re shipping to buyers groups. You can continue to use them as a personal account.

I'm fairly new to using buying groups for MS. Recently successfully purchased 3 units of chromecast from google store to ship directly to maxoutdeals. Everything went smooth and $ showed up in my account. Tried to up it and created a new order for 10 more units, and google cancelled that order with the message "Your order was canceled because it doesn't align with our Sales terms". Is there some sort of a unpublished limit at the google store, for number of units that can be purchased to stay under the radar and not get the order canceled? Appreciate any insights.

Seems that way, yes.

Do you happen to know what that limit would be?

My friends and me sent some Apple products to maxoutdeals from Amazon around last December. They lost about 20% of our packages although UPS tracking number showing delivered to their Delaware warehouse.

They are definitely stealing packages. When I provide screenshots from Amazon including serial numbers, they just ignore me.

Do NOT use them, you have been warned.

Think about this, if they are a legit group, why do they need to advertise here? No other groups create accounts to advertise here.

If maxoutdeals haven't "lost" your package, consider yourself lucky, they will steal your package soon if you keep selling to them.

I don’t sell to them, but it’s DE. There’s a lot of theft with all the groups that have warehouses there.

I have sent them over 70k of products and never had an issue. Sounds like you had some bad luck

Never had an issue with any BG. That includes PM, MOD, and TDB

I can't speak to your specific situation but I can say that they were very responsive and eager to resolve my issue when I reached out to them directly on discord. If you haven't contacted them on discord, I recommend giving it a shot. Tell them you were discussing it on flyertalk.

Lucky you. Sounds like another person I know who never has issues with lost or stolen items or getting refunds even if the BG is labeled FF.

I sell to dozens of groups (some private) and did almost $2mm last year. just because you’ve never had an issue doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Some products are more prone to being skimmed.

Anyone else have issues logging into deal buyer after they were acquired by buying group.

blitzkrieg86 May 2, 2023 7:02 pm

Never had issues with maxoutdeals . USA buying group is the worst. Packages always go missing with them. Also, slow on payments
