Authorized users on seller account
Just curious, I have a virtual assistant that I want to do things for me on my seller account. Stuff like combing inventory ledgers for unknown events/getting reimbursements/dealing with seller support. Basically pitting my own virtual assistant against amazon's legions of them.
I definitely trust this person because I have been working with her for awhile. However, I'm always paranoid about amazon shutting my account down for related accounts if, say, she had her own seller account that I didn't know about. Maybe in the past her account was shut down or something, I don't know.
So does the related accounts thing apply if the person is just an authorized user or does that only apply to me as the main account owner?

Very tricky scenario. You are walking a tight rope with your account not knowing anything about her dealings with Amazon. The slightest thing can connect users, so tread lightly.

Ok, thanks, but my question was about authorized users specifically. I know for sure that if I gave her my own amazon account login, then it could connect anything.
But isn't the authorized user route a safer way to do things? I mean, how do these amazon consultants who manage hundreds of other amazon accounts not eventually get suspended themselves when one of their accounts gets into trouble?

If they work for Amazon, I believe it's different, but allowing a stranger permission in your account can be dangerous for you from what I have read. Plus, amazon consultants don't really manage accounts, they show up once, give you suggestions and then disappear never to be heard from again.
