Question for new account
 

I have a question about starting a new seller account.

My fiance and I started a business about 10 years ago on Amazon. It's done incredibly well and still active as of now, but I am leaving. Without going into a lot of details, my soon to be ex is abusive in all ways and after years, I'm not going to take it anymore.

I hand make and design everything we sell (about 4,000 products). My fiance keeps control over me by threatening to close the seller account. It's all my hard work and after reviewing with a lawyer, they said it's best to just close it myself (keep all ASINs) and start again so there is no more control from his part and just rebuild it myself.

When we originally started, we just did it under his SSN. Later on, we changed it on Amazon to an LLC with both of us members.

My SSN hasn't ever been on the seller account itself. So, my question is if I start new, can I use my SSN? (the other account will be closed before doing this)

My name has been on the buying side of the account. Just wondering if this will link me to the old account or anyone have any ideas on what I should do so it won't link?

It's been a long time since the first account was registered with Amazon and not sure what all the require now as it's changed so much.

Re: Question for new account
 

You can as long as you have never used your name/information previously on amazon

You can also create another LLC under your information

Thanks, my SSN has never been used on Amazon. My name has on the buyer account.

However, the seller account now has LLC with EIN and my name is associated with the LLC as a member. Just wondering if the buyer account having my name on it as a shipping address and the LLC for the state shows that I am a member if all that will link if I tried to open a new account. Thanks

If your buyer account has information that is on a seller shop, then there is a link to your information and the seller shop

Create a new stealth shop with entirely unique information, if you want to avoid being linked in any way
