hey all long time no visit here,

i have been on amazon using about 20 amazon uk seller accounts selling little bits on each account, using maybe one or 2 pro accounts,

everything was going great but now i see amazon has changed its opening of seller accounts system???/ you now need to send in

1.uk drivers licenece
2. genuine utility bill,(no less than 3 months old)

and also verify small amount of money transfered into the bank account (same as paypal)

Out of the 20 accounts you currently already have open, did any now ask for ID or just for the new accounts you are trying to open?

I see the small deposits would not be a problem, but the rest of the ID may be a problem...

Worth the money to get into the rest of the forums.
Just one idea or point in the right direction is worth the money.

Even seasoned veterans here still pay as a donation to keep the site up and running. Without this site, many people would have given up and gone out to deliver pizza instead.

OK johnboyz26, these are the new regulations that amazon eu have imposed due to eu banking and money laundering laws as amazon are classed as a money provider. There is no way around this. Basically you get one shot with your passport.

Yeah, you are right. I am gonna go for it. one month working there would make100times of what you give.

no only the youngest one has asked for this verification, which must mean anyone with old accounts should be able to keep them going??? or is it just a back log??

Driving Licence is an alternative to passport, but I have only submitted passports.

Trust me dude there is no way, passport DL,utility bill etc. This is EU banking regulations, not amazon.

has anyone managed to bypass all checks??

[siriuscat]

Do we know what Amazon (UK) do with the info? Do they have access to the DVLA database for cross reference? If not, then what use is photo id to them?

[MICKY H]

Yes they have access like many other institutions, also passport info.

[siriuscat]

Thanks, I didn't realise they could get that info. And I'm guessing if you don't have a driving license or passport you can't sell. Any other I.D. which might do? I can't think of any.

[MICKY H]

I would assume you are correct, but most people have a passport.

[johnboyz26]

i really dont think they do, but who knows!! only one way to find out im going to try it!!
