few questions..

bnd · #1 01-15-2012

i did a bit of research but i am still not 100% sure..

i have a few questions with regards to amzn.com (amazn usa acc)

i am based in UK and i have an amzn.co.uk seller acc in good standing order.
i would like to open a seller acc on amzn.com (amazn usa) aswell to try sell a few items.

1. can i open a amazn.com account with the same details(name, email,address,cc,etc) as my amazn.co.uk account or do i need a different email address?
2. can i use my UK based bank account to receive the funds?
3. will i be paid in US dollars or £ when i choose to disburse the money to my bank account?
3. is it possible to choose to be paid in US dollars instead of £ so i do not lose too much money on conversion
4. do i need to open a different bank account to accept the payment in US dollars?

any help will be appreciated. thx

Bet you it's not that easy and not allowed. What happens when your Amazon.com shipments are late and buyers get pissed? Are you trying to pretend to be in the US and selling from there, or how? Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk are run as different divisions, but you should assume info is shared between them.

no i will not pretend to be in US. i will be selling some high priced items worth 350usd+/pc and i will provide vat receipts and i'll be using DHL or DPD recorded delivery, 5-10 days delivery time frame. i expect 10-30 sales/month. there are only 2 sellers on amazon.com selling these type of items at the moment.

i know that amazn.com and amazn.uk share the info, that is the idea..i do not want to hide it.. i do not think is against amazon policy to have both uk and USA selling accounts, i am not 100%sure.

main concern i would like to know is if i can disburse money to my bank account in US dollars..so i do not lose money on conversion from US to £ - if that happens profit margin will be very very low.
