My goal is to create a stealth Amazon Sellers account that ultimately I have full control over in terms of documents and identification.
Here are the main steps to what I am thinking of trying: - Form a Wyoming LLC in my name (WY offers privacy)
- Obtain EIN for LLC
- Obtain business mail forwarding address in WY
- Obtain WY Phone Number
- Create new Gmail, as outlined in Amazon Ghost guide
- Use Payoneer to receive funds
I would create the account as a business with all of the information being legitimate. I would provide the EIN for the tax interview, everything matching the LLC. However, for the requested documents, I would use a service such as secondeye to provide a utility bill that matches the WY address, and a bank statement that matches the Payoneer number. For the Photo ID, I would use the same service to send in a passport with my name (not sure if I should use my picture) because my existing passport has already been seen by Amazon.
I have also considered using a DBA, but as a sole proprietor, I can only get one EIN, and it does not seem to afford me the same privacy that an LLC does.
Is there anything about this that stands out as incorrect? For example, should I not use Payoneer, or should I not risk sending in illegitimate photo ID if I'm going through all this trouble to establish an LLC in WY? Maybe I should I take advantage of the privacy benefits and use a friends name/legitimate passport as the 'face' and 'name', assuming Amazon can't see who the real owner is for a WY LLC? The downside that I see to that is it is not in my true name, but ultimately as the true owner of the LLC I still do have control. |
