SECURING YOUR WISHLIST:

There is a certain feature on Amazon wishlists that allow people to say they purchased an item when they really didn't. In the past trolls have used it to mess with our users. It is so cruel as they thought a Christmas was coming their way that never arrived.

You must get this featured turned off BEFORE you register. Registration will not be approved until this has been done.

The only way to get this feature turned off, is to have an agent do it for you.

It's the "buying this elsewhere" button. We require you do this before registering.



Here is how to get it turned off:

  • Call Amazon.com (888-280-4331 in the US)

  • Ask for REGISTRIES

  • Tell them: "I need the buying this gift elsewhere option turned off on my wishlists

  • Be insistent. Many don't know how to do it, or even what it is.

  • If they can't or won't do it, ask for another operator or just call back and talk with someone else.

  • Rinse and repeat until one of them does it.


If they say it can't be done, tell then how it can:

This is what the agent has to do:

Go to your wishlist

Find column

Toggle reservations

Disable reservations

It's four clicks for them


So sorry we have to put you through this. It's the only way to protect you.

Once you have done this, you will be ready to register
