As we don’t shop on Fleecebay for anything. My kids always have used my prime account on Amazon. Amazon has no clue who is using my account. Why would I need to put my kids on the account. They know how much they can spend and if the advantage to adding their kids to their prime account is limits then maybe they should teach their kids how to spend money period. No use amazon as a babysitter.
I would guess their trying to curb the buyers request to cancel items stating that their kid bought it without their permission. Must be happening more than they like over there.
