Amazon Stealth (What it Means)
What is Amazon Stealth? The term ‘stealth’ in association with Amazon and eBay was coined by members of the eBay Suspension and PayPal Limited forums years ago to give name to the process of creating unlinked eBay, PayPal and Amazon seller accounts. It was first seen with eBay Stealth in 2008 which was created by aspkin and Mik3 (from of the above mentioned forums) and then again in 2010 with the release of Amazon Ghost, another guide by aspkin.
The process of creating an Amazon stealth account is much more involved then it is with eBay and PayPal. It’s not a simple task of removing browser cookies and Flash objects and then going from there. Amazon tracks your browser footprint including user agent, headers, plugin details, time zone, system fonts, etc. Also your IP address, browser cookies, name, email address and much more. In essence a stealth account means new personal account details. That’s the easy part.
The hard part is creating your stealth account without being linked to any other accounts. That’s why forums, blogs and even eBooks like Amazon Ghost were created to help honest sellers get back on Amazon.
That’s what Amazon stealth means. It’s a term used years ago with the release of ‘eBay Stealth‘ and then it carried over to Amazon, where ‘Amazon Ghost’ was born.
Note: The guide released by AmazonStealth.com in my opinion is a complete waste of money. The author Dino Vidovic simply rehashed information from eBay Stealth, even using some of the same images and wording from the eBook and slapped the name ‘Amazon Stealth’ on it. This is not Amazon Stealth. In my opinion it’s complete crap.
The only Amazon stealth guide I recommend is from aspkin, Amazon Ghost.
Is your Amazon account suspended or blocked? Maybe I can help, leave your questions in the comments section.

Dear sir,
my account was suspended by amazon mechanical turk , i cant get back again,Can u help me, thanking you,
Sure, I recommend reading Amazon Ghost as it will show you step by step what you need to do to get back on Amazon and stay on after losing your account. It’s more involved then other marketplaces like eBay but as you probably already know, Amazon is worth the extra hassle.
Good luck!
Amazon ghost has really helped me in the long run. I thought it was a stretch especially because I tried so many different ways to get back on Amazon asap… but Amazon Ghost was the key I needed to reopen Amazon’s doors. Now I’m doing better than ever, I know it was worth it thank you Amazon Ghost!!
Does Amazon Ghost work for closed buyer accounts? My selling account was first shut down, then Amazon closed my buyer account. I do sale occasionally on Amazon.com but I’m more interested in getting back on to make purchases.
Thanks
Yep, it works for buyer accounts as well. It’s about getting back on Amazon whether you’re a buyer or a seller, it doesn’t matter. The strategies in the guide work the same.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Does Amazon Ghost work for drop shippers?
I tried many cards for Amazon stealth accounts and they do not work. Would it be recommended to use the VCCs that Auction Essistance offers?
