Re: UK Bank Account on Amazon US
I most certainly lose money in the transfers. However, I don't lose much by selling on Amazon USA because the currency rates are good at the moment (for USD to GBP).
I usually register as a UK individual or a UK business. Neither of these needs an EIN or SSN. You may need a company registration number and a business bank account if you register as a UK business. For the individual account, they will need a DL number or a passport number at some point.
I always register as a pro seller. The drawback with using UK details for registration is that you pay an additional 20% on the seller fee (which makes it about 3% excess if the fee is 15%) because of EU VAT.
So add the 3% to the currency transfer loss of another 3% and you end up with about 6% to 8% in additional expenses.
