50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

I got 50 amazon accounts verified but everytime I activate the account they ask for a utility bill and business license if applicable.


Does amazon even accept utility bills when you sent it to them for account verification like this?

Also some people say if amazon asks utility bill their is something wrong with method of creation.

I just checked amazon forums and people are saying almost everyone is facing same problem where amazon asks utility bill. So does this mean even if my VCC is good and passes address verification, they will still ask utility bill?

Account uses indian address and number and id

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Seems like that will happen more so if accounts have a "link" among them.

OP, are you certain that your account setup process is linkfree?

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Its due to increased security during the holiday

Even if you submit bill and they accept, they will request video verification after wards

All full usa shops now require postal+video verification

Since last month majority of all shops except high risk foreign countries like Ukraine are asking for video verification

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

So doesnt matter how good your VCC is?

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Is their any accounts which get immediately verified and dont ask utility or is it really rare. I had some 2 months ago like that

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Verifying the VCC is not the same as verifying the seller account.

If they don't ask for ID/utility bill etc when the account is created, they surely will once it starts selling.

Which country are you creating the accounts in?

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Why do you use this?

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Some countries don't require video verification like Ukraine but they have stability issues and can still get video verification request 1-3 months down the road

The safest option is to fully verify shops from the start so they don't randomly ask you to video verify once you have activity/sales

But even the really foreign ones like Ukraine will all require video likely sometime soon since Amazon has been heavily increasing their verification team in the last 6 months

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Phenoix, yes they accept utility. Your utility must be bad.. print it out and scan or take picture of it n send.

Make sure image is png. Not pdf or jpeg.

Yes, I opened some and no utility required .

Are u opening uk or us accounts? Once u open, do u you attempt to open other countries at the same time?

Are you using vmware or new wi dows users?

Once I receive that info, I'll tell u what ur doing wrong. Peace

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

BTW, the only time I got utility request is when I went to sign up for other regions.. so, you can to use your region, get it established, get a disbursement, couple of feedbacks, then open another region. But I see all your info is indian and you're trying to sell in UK.. I'm guessing that's it. Get yourself uk info, uk ip vpn, uk number, sign up and you should be good..

But, generally if you look at the market, you seldom see foreign sellers. And that probably goes for everyone else having issues.. some dude on here states his amazon us with foreign info isn't great.. you need to be in that country or convert everything to that country, would even go as far has make sure windows is uk language and keyboard.

Obviously your id, and statements creation needs to be 100% excellent .

Finally, if u receive utility request, the account is gone.. but I did manage to get 2 reopened a couple years back, but I included a covert letter.. about you, what your selling, you have experience, website , shipping on time etc..
Good luck..

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

When was the last time you got a new amazon account verified, and with what info?

Beautiful says now all amazon accounts ask utility bill and video verification and he said he isnt selling any amazon accounts right now.

Even the experts are fidning it difficult/impossible

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Uk info.

3 last month, 2 2 weeks, and 2 today.

One of the ones I created today, I'll list on it tomorrow and let u know for sure.. if they do ask for utility which I doubt, I'll do a cover letter with it.. Ill keep u updated, hope that helps . I've only had issues when I used to send pdf or jpegs, png files work great, as they don't hold much info. Look, I just sent an id in pdf today, they didn't accept it, took image out n placed it at png and it went through fine.

Also, make sure the card u have matches address..

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

If all fails then u have to get creative and do the video calls.. security features on ids are a pain in the a@@.. but can be done with just an inkjet printer. Or buy id for 50 quid or some shlt n have it shipped to u.

I tried asking for permission to sell on here but didn't hear back from them. Amazon is cr4p now anyways, very tough for them to show ur product unless u advertise with them, as if their fees are an extortion to begin with.

Buy the way, are u opening pro or individual accounts?

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Sent you DM. Please check

Also they are individual accounts

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Which vcc are you using. From which company ?

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Hi, when you say 100% correct do you mean real, or just very good?

Aren't you required to upload the utility bill at the start anyway?

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

100 meaning very good.

Bank statements, I do as pdf.. but id, its always png images..

No I don't get asked for utility..


I create ids or use real.. both work.. amazon uk, then once its verified list, sell, get a disbursement, feedback, then open us, Europe on it..
Individual accounts.

Perhaps your skills are to be made avail to others :)

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

You should sell Europe accounts on the Marketplace here.

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Creating personal accounts on Amazon UK is relatively easy, but still not without some level of discipine. Unfortunately they're pretty much worthless because very soon they will make you convert it to a business account, either though hitting a fairly small income limit or if they spot you selling primarily new goods.

As for creating stealth business accounts from the get-go, well that a different story, they've got to have a high level of legitimacy about them either via a Limited Company or a verifiable sole trader account.

Anyone who says that making a long term living/income via stealth is simple is fibbing. Lets not forget that in the EU Amazon are already sending all income details for all sellers to the relevant tax authorities. Amazon UK (and ebay, etsy etc) will be following suit very soon. Better start getting our heads round this pretty quickly.

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Yeah, good one. :pound:

There's a reason that there's only one Amazon account seller on here. :shhh:

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

It was just banter ;)

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Trying to understand better

When I create an Amazon UK account as soon a is verify the number there is a 4 step registration process, the last step is uploading documents.

Is that normal? do you give ID for every account you make?

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

Yes it is normal and yes they do if they plan on selling at a level remotely worthwhile. I'm not saying they haven't created an Amazon UK account recently without providing ID but, like you, I have had to provide it at registration or within a matter of days on my last three accounts using good quality legitimate details. Nothing to spook them whatsoever.

Indeed, after a few grand of sales (on your personal seller account) expect to be asked to convert it to a business and supply your verifiable UTR or details of your Limited Company etc.

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

I tried uploading documents to another account, and they messaged me back saying that they only accept bank statements or credit card statements, I sent a Utility Bill. Is that normal?

Re: 50 verified amazon accounts asking utility bill
 

It's normal to ask for both!
