Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

What information should I enter in box "company registration number"? It's stealth account with just EIN I don't have llc or business license under it.
Please help

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

did you register the business with the state and city?
doing business as DBA ,or getting a retail certificate from the state to show you are a retailer and should not pay sales tax on any item you bought for resale

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

Old and new accounts got it

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

Even if you just video verified last year you get this?

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

I have never gotten a single video verification request...

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

Have had my account for 7 years and just got this too.

Not sure how to proceed?

I did the first and last name as the companys 2 names when originally signing up which matched the S Corp info , bank info and EIN. Never entered an actual person on there. I assume there are others that went this route too.

Not sure what to do.

Well you have no other choice but to just give them what they want

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

Got this same message on two accounts. One from 2015 and one from 2017. Are they randomly selected or are they eventually going to go through all accounts?

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

amazon have been doing it across the board , it is unknown whether everyone will be hit but I do know at least two people who had very old and very well established accounts shut down this way without further explanation and those accounts were not stealth

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

I have 2 accounts going way back,AMZN has not asked me .

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

Did they say why?
I suspect depends on what you sell

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

they just requested new verification but I suspect it is in fact a review of selling activity because they rejected absolutely genuine docs

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

You'll never know exactly what they are doing, but a lot of verified old and new accounts are being asked to reverify.

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

It is good practice to ask old accounts to re verify themselves,as one does not know if the original owner is still active?

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

i got none of those things. it's stealth account made up name and EIN for llc on my real name and SSN. LLC wasn't open with any state. Accounts are like 9 years old

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

painful for ppl experiencing it though

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

I just go hit by this.
After I submit all my true identity documents, AMAZON now saying cannot verify my account because of this.
"The number that you entered in Seller Central when you registered your account does not match the unique ID number in the identity document. Update the number in Seller Central to match the unique ID number in the identity document."

I created this stealth account 10 years ago with other ID info.
But now I want to update all the info using my real identity to avoid future issues.

Anyone has experience on this ?
Am I in trouble? Or I should be able to update all account ID info to my real identity ?

AMAZON provided contact us link in this email though.
But before I contact AMAZON, I want to get some help and advice from you guys 1st ..

Any one could give me your thought?

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

Wait, so the acc itself has a different info than the docs that you submitted?

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

Yes, the EIN and SSN on the account were different when registered.
However, The registered EIN tax number was filed under my real LLC business for years.

If I explain to AMZ that the old SSN was from my old friend who created the account for me long time ago, and we no longer have contact, but I have been filing tax under my real business EIN for years.

Would this work for AMAZON to update my identity to my real current ones?

Thanks for reading my message and reply.

Re: Action required: Re-verify your Amazon seller account
 

I would think they would close the account if you suggest it was opened by someone else.

Can't you open a new one with your real details?
