As one of the world's largest e-commerce platforms, Amazon has taken a number of measures to prevent IP address association in order to maintain account security and user privacy. These measures cover multiple aspects such as technology, network and user habits, aiming to ensure that users can enjoy the highest level of security protection during transactions and interactions on the platform.
When operating a store on the Amazon platform, sellers need to pay special attention to avoid IP address association between stores. IP address association may cause Amazon to think that you are operating multiple stores, thereby triggering unnecessary risks such as review or ban. I believe that cross-border e-commerce people are no strangers to IP address association, so let's first look at how Amazon monitors and detects potential IP address associations.
- IP address rotation technology: Amazon uses IP address rotation technology to ensure that each user uses a different IP address in different login sessions. This technology is based on cloud computing and distributed networks, making it possible for users' IP addresses to change, making it difficult to track and associate easily.
- Device fingerprint technology: Amazon uses advanced device fingerprint technology to generate a unique identifier for each device by collecting data such as the device's hardware information, operating system, browser version, etc. In this way, even if the user changes the IP address, Amazon can still effectively prevent account association risks through device fingerprints.
- Behavior Analysis System: Amazon uses a powerful behavior analysis system to conduct in-depth analysis of user operations. The system can identify abnormal account activities, including login patterns, browsing habits, shopping cart operations, etc., so as to promptly discover potential IP address association risks.
- Multi-level identity authentication: To enhance account security, Amazon has introduced a multi-level identity authentication mechanism. In addition to the regular username and password, users are also required to provide mobile phone verification code, email verification and other information, so that even if the IP address changes, the account can still be effectively protected.
- Randomized login process: Amazon has designed a randomized login process, including the location of the verification code, the timing of requesting additional information, etc. This design makes the login process different even for different accounts with the same IP address, increasing the difficulty of association.
What is the reason for IP address association?
1. The information provided during registration must be brand new and disposable, including email address, bank card, business license, payment account, mobile phone number, etc. All materials are disposable and cannot be used a second time.
2. Amazon is generally operated by overseas sites. If merchants use VPN to access the external network, it is actually not very stable. If you are not careful and the proxy IP is disconnected, one IP will be shown as logged in to multiple accounts and it may be judged as account association.
3. Each router has a MAC address. When you access Amazon through the router, this MAC address is recorded by Amazon. If more than two accounts are logged in on the same router, they will be judged as associated.
4. Some of your usual Amazon operations will also be recorded, such as your typing speed, operating behavior, email format, Cookies, etc. These behaviors will be included in the detection. If the similarity in these aspects is very high, it is very likely that your account will be blocked due to association, so you must clean up the browser's Cookies and cache in time.
How to solve IP association problem?
1. Generally speaking, this problem can be solved by using fingerprint browser + proxy IP . Choose to use fingerprint browser to simulate different IP addresses and device information. The same computer can simulate multiple hardware environments, such as IP address, browser version, system version, hardware serial number, etc., to achieve the purpose of opening multiple stores.
2. Use a VPS virtual machine and equip each Amazon account with a VPS virtual machine. The virtual machine will not expose the hardware information of the actual physical machine to Amazon. What is exposed is the virtualized hardware configuration. Combined with an overseas residential IP , the IP association problem can be solved.
3. Pull a new network cable , replace a new computer and mobile phone with no signs of use, operate them separately and work independently. This is also the safest solution.
No matter what method you use, you need to use a pure proxy IP to assist. This is the first step in operating an Amazon store well.
Kookeey has a global IP pool of more than 10 million IPs, covering more than 220 countries/regions. Each IP is double-screened through machine learning and manual sampling to ensure the purity and anonymity of the IP, and customize solutions according to different business scenarios.
