Hey guys,

Looking to put together a solid two car setup on a 60k AUD total budget. The goal is to have one reliable, practical daily and one fun weekend car, with minimal mechanical headaches on both.

Let's hear your thoughts?

Hey everyone, post from Amazon AE here.

​For a while now, every time I try to place an order on my account, it immediately gets canceled due to "suspicious activity." A bit later, I get an automated email claiming it was a mistake, yet it happens again every single time. Customer support has zero answers.

​Thinking my account was flagged, I canceled my Prime and tried using my wife's account (which was linked to mine previously). Now her account is completely blocked from taking a Prime membership or placing orders too.

​Can Amazon ban an entire household device, IP address, or shared payment method? Has anyone dealing with Amazon AE found a way to resolve this risk-flag loop?

​Appreciate any advice!

​I have been a Prime member since 2022 with no issues until this week. On Saturday, Amazon started instantly cancelling my orders, flagging unusual activity, and demanding ID verification. I verified my ID through support, but on Monday, an unauthorized small charge hit my default card, so I deleted all saved payment methods.

​By Wednesday, Amazon emailed saying it was a mistake on their end and to try ordering again. I did, but the order was cancelled immediately. While I was on the phone with support trying to fix this, my two factor authentication was completely disabled. Support told me not to touch my account, so I went straight to my bank and locked all my cards.

​Has anyone experienced this before? Is my account compromised?

I wanted to know a perspective from your side in Australia. My wife and I, 33, are engineers in the oil & gas sector based out of the middle east planning for a move.

What are the pros and cons?

Hey everyone, looking for advice on how to pivot or monetize a 40-year-old auditorium that’s losing hard to modern competition. The goal is to find ideas that require zero to minimal investment.

The venue has a 1,000-seat main hall and a 500-seat dining mess, but it’s completely non-AC (too expensive to install) and has no dedicated parking. There are 5 rented shops out front that bring in steady income, but the main hall is bleeding because it can no longer compete for modern weddings.

What can realistically be done with a massive, non-AC indoor space?

Any creative angles or turnaround stories would be great to hear!

Thank you!

I am an O&G Production Engineer with 8 years of experience in operations and fabrication looking to move into the Brisbane rail sector. I am looking for advice on how well these skills translate to Rollingstock or Infrastructure roles and the best way to navigate the industry's hiring process.

Do I need to obtain SARC, RIW, or a Category 3 Medical independently to be competitive, or will Tier 1 companies like QR or UGL sponsor these? Also, are there specific recruiters or networking groups you would recommend beyond the standard Smart Jobs portal? Cheers!
