Suffering from Amazon rage
The other day I tried to sell an unwanted book on Amazon. I was told that my seller account had been terminated. I tried to create a new one and was told that I couldn't do that because I already had an account.
Eventually I was told that seller accounts are deleted if they are not used regularly. The process cannot be reversed because it's automated and there's no provision for human input. The solution, they said, was to create a new account with a different email address. So I got a web-mail account at Proton and tried to create the new Amazon account. After answering all the questions, negotiating a captcha, and getting an authentification via Proton, I thought all was well. Then they asked me for my mobile phone number. I don't have a mobile phone. There is no provision for such a shocking situation, so no seller account.
Ebay, here I come!
