Risk of linked seller account

Hey all I wanted to sell on Amazon and attempted the seller registration. However the identity verification is not passed for some reason. It was a painful process appealing this failed verification so I left that account unfinished. my wife gave it a try to register under her name and her account got approved almost immediately.

So we are about to start selling with my wife’s account but I just learned that Amazon has something that detects linked account, which is a huge concern to me because I know that to resolve any account suspension due to linked account, all accounts need to be good standing status, well, it would be hard to bring my old account back in good standing.

So my old unfinished account has the same contact address as my wife’s, also they’ve been logged in on the same device a couple of times, but we are keeping the phone number and bank info differently. Has anyone experienced similar situation? And how likely this is going to trigger a linked account problem?
