Amazon individual account

Hi

When I sign up for an Amazon UK account, and select that I want to register as an individual seller, I am still told about monthly fees when it comes to entering my credit card information

Any ideas?

Re: Amazon individual account

From signup page you had option for the individual plan but you passed this step and cant go back you have to open as pro account and once open downgrade the account and ask for fees refund

Try going back into the application

You can also switch from pro to individual before getting charged for pro fees upon completing verification

It seems more useful to go for Pro right away .

I'd advise any stealther these days to sign up to an individual account and then convert to pro when verified. Saves trying to get a refund if you're not approved.

Doesn't influence the verification process whatsoever.

That's actually a higher risk process as when you upgrade to individual you potentially re-trigger verification and they can ask for additional information

Personally have seen it many times

With Pro besides the $39.99 charge, you can only trigger verification once.

I have done it many times (I have created well over 30 accounts UK/US over the last 3 years or so) and also when I've taken extended vacations I've downgraded and then re-activated upon return. It has never caused an issue.

It is also well documented on the official amazon forums that it does not influence verification.

The points that may trigger utility bill verification are:

1. upon completing verification on individual or pro
2. upon updating vcc
3. upon upgrading from individual to pro

If you register an individual store and plan to upgrade to pro, you'll go through 2 chances of potentially triggering utility vs 1 chance if you register pro originally.

Everyone has different methods, but these are known triggers of additional information

It's better to just go pro on the get go. PLus there's no reason to go individual anyways if you're a full time seller

Of course there is a reason to go individual, what if your business model is to only sell, say, 30 items per month particularly in the short term?

Yes if you are selling VERY SMALL quantities sure, go with individual accounts. But most people sell a lot more than that.
