Exactly right =)

Do other UK sellers have a marketplace in US/Canada./Mexico?

It was suggested on the seller forums that some UK sellers had accidentally signed up for global accounts and were therefore getting hit with US verification unnecessarily.

I said as much to US seller support and they have given a link to help close account but I'm not sure this would help now verification has been requested?

Others have completed US verification and then successfully appealed UK deactivation by showing their US account is now healthy.
I would be appealing saying it's closed...if that is even possible.

They'll ask for an ID, ask you very specific questions and invoices basically.
If it's under your name and LLC then you should have the document and shouldn't bee too much of a problem

You still had to do a video interview right?

No. I would imagine that comes later when a disbursement limit is reached. I haven't used it yet.

I never post on there for that reason. Don't want others looking at my shop and finding dubious listings to report

Another account deactivated pending video verification.

These are going to be hard to pass. Need to create physical ID and face listing scrutiny.
This could be the end.

This part is fairly easy

Just make that get the dimensions right then do the video interview.

Its the only real option other than trying to be deep ⊗⊗⊗⊗ it but that is pretty hit and miss

Just logged in and it's coming from the US site again. UK account is still active so managed to pull some money out. Going by the other account it will go down in about 48hrs.

I noticed some other ppl had to request to reactivate their UK account after USA one was back up and running (for others it happened automatically).
UK support wanted screenshot of the email to say you are reactivated and a screenshot of your account health page.

It suggests they don't necessarily know what's happening themselves with other marketplace shops.

One could 'chance' sending creative screenshots? Pull out any funds if they did temporarily reactivate your UK account?

[JamesNorth101]

Yep, so they are segregated. What happens on US won't effect UK and vise versa.

RE the creative screenshots. Honestly never tired so cannot say. It would have to match a certain layout but it's possible it could work but no first hand experience myself.

Except when US marketplace gets deactivated it does take out UK/European marketplaces soon after.

A message from the UK deactivation email suggests you have two accounts (the other being the US account even though it is the same) and you have to resolve this before appealing your UK account.

Going on video holding a creative ID is getting into dodgy territory. Do Amazon keep this video on record? That could open you up to problems if it were ever requested/inspected by authorities.
The deep f*** phenomenon is a possible get out though. "Someone has used my image"!
