Amazon ask me to Change Entities

Ghost Account registered as individual vendor

today Amazon sent me this mail:

It is currently registered as a "physical person" vendor, but its sales activity corresponds to the criteria of a company. Below you will find information on different legal entities.

If you believe that your sales activity is within the "Individual vendor" category, please reply directly to this e-mail and confirm the origin of your inventory for the last 12 months.

I don't have a VAT number obviously being a ghost account.

Any help or suggestion?

You will need to reply to the email and confirm the origin.

Thanks for the reply Garry, in several times your advice has been invaluable.

What do you advise me to write?.... I sold a lot of units..

Enter a creative VAT number is not recommended?

garry9061 · #5 06-03-2019

Do not enter a creative VAT number.

You will need to reply to them. Have you been selling more than 5-10 units of each item?
If no, You can explain that your using this as a side job and that you got these products from a garage sale or some similar type of excuse.

Maybe someone else may be able to chime in with another angle you could approach this.

No do not do this. Stop trying to bypass it.
Either reply to them or create a new account.

They gave me 28 days time. Do you advise me to cash in and close the account?

I have also had the same message.

However, they are not asking for a VAT number?

I will wait until it is close to the 28 day period then update it as a sole trader.

What info will they then ask for?

I may in the interim set up another account.

Any advice?

I think changing entities will ask VAT number

I will also wait 28 days to cash in and then decide what to do
