To each their own, I'm parting them out.
Maybe, you are correct. But since I have been doing it for 4 years now I think that I will continue. And has anyone ever really known a non-seller at Amazon to get banned, except for fraudulent activity? I've had an Amazon account since the 90's, when they sold nothing but books. My seller account with Amazon was old enough that I had as-requested / daily payouts. During that time, I was very careful to never mix the two accounts. After I decided to no longer sell on Amazon, I quit worrying about it. I've heard of plenty sellers being banned but never one customer account (unless engaged in fraudulent activity.)
Companies change over the years. 8-9 years ago, TLG had a huge banning, one that I am sure may have caught others in this group. If you used the same email address at eBay, BrickLink and your LEGO account, you were branded a reseller and banned. The fact that they could gather this info from non-LEGO companies was a huge eye-opener. I remember still the letter that was sent, not from LEGO USA, but from TLG itself. It condemned me as a reseller with a very stern admonishment that LEGO is very much a toy made for children, Not adults. Every time that they introduce another $600+ Star Wars set I have to fight the urge to write TLG and ask them whose children are buying these sets. Further, the letter forbade me from not only buying from LEGO Shop at Home, but in-person at a LEGO retail store. I lost about $300 worth of VIP points. I called to complain to the LEGO USA customer service and, after getting a manger on the phone, was informed about the email search and was told that the trigger was attempting to order more sets than the order limit listed. She disagreed with what happened but her hands were tied. To keep this story from getting way too long I'll forgo explaining about being unbanned 3 years later. Now, I have found that, order limits lift after a few months or whenever there is a price change. They never did this before. Such is the greed at LEGO, no difference than other companies.
To get back to responding to the comment, companies post rules at one point and then later often ignore those rules, unless they have a specific reason for wanting to **** you away. Yes, if I was still a seller, I would abide by the not mixing the two accounts. But as just a customer,I ain't worrying about it.
Sorry to be so verbose.
