Amazon runs three separate verification flows: buyer sign-up (lax), buyer re-verification after risk signals (moderate), and Seller Central onboarding (strict, includes a physical postcard). A virtual number cleanly covers the first two.
Buyer sign-up
- amazon.com → Create Account with email.
- Amazon prompts for phone — rent Amazon on SMSVerifyo.
- Paste, receive OTP in dashboard, submit.
Buyer re-verification
Amazon re-verifies after new-device login, large orders, or gift-card purchases. Use a long-term rental in the same country as your original registration. Availability on the live dashboard.
Amazon Seller Central — do not use a virtual number here
Seller onboarding requires a phone that can receive a call, plus a physical address postcard for identity verification. Do not attempt to open a Seller account with a virtual number and a stranger's address — Amazon suspensions on Seller accounts are permanent and hard to appeal.
