Incorrect legal entity
It looks like Amazon are chasing up individual registered accounts today.
I have just had 4 stealth accounts get the following email within minutes of each other... Dear Seller,
We think you selected the incorrect legal entity when you registered for a Selling on Amazon payment account.
You are currently registered as an 'Individual' seller, but your selling activity fits the criteria for a business / UK sole proprietor. We have explained the different legal entities below.
To update your legal entity, follow the instructions below:
-- Go to the “Account Info” page in the “Settings” section of Seller Central (https:/sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/configuration/index.html).
-- Click “Edit” in the “Business and Contact Information” section and select the correct legal entity.
-- Confirm the business details and click “Submit”.
Use the following information to select the correct legal entity:
-- Individual: you must only choose this legal entity if you do not sell for profit. Individual sellers may list unwanted personal items, such as old DVDs or books.
-- UK Sole Proprietor: this legal entity is for any commercial individual who sells for profit. A Sole Proprietorship is registered with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). There is no legal distinction between the owner and the business.
-- Business or Partnership: this legal entity includes Sole Proprietors registered in countries outside the UK. It also includes Charities, Partnerships, Private Limited Companies, and Public Companies.
If you think your selling activity fits the ‘Individual’ legal entity, please reply to this email to confirm the source of your inventory over the last 12 months.
What happens if I do not send the requested information?
If we do not receive the requested information within 28 days, you will not be allowed to sell on Amazon’s European marketplaces.
I have sold multiple items of the same ASIN so i'm assuming there is no point claiming i'm an individual and provide some creative inventory source?
If i change my legal entity to sole trader is that an instant suspension pending documents?
Which documents will i need? I've failed this before on the utr number i believe?
