Can we use amazon UK to sell products in Amazon Germany
 

hi guys
I have been thinking for a while that sell products in amazon germany. my UK account runs very well, but needs a outlet now.
i am currently in Hongkong, as far as i concern, we can register a Uk ACCOUNT AS LONG AS WE HAVE A CREDIT CARD AND ADDRESS which they match. as you know we can do that easily, my question is
1: i'd like to ship products directly to germany amazon fulfilment centre, can we do that and how is the germany custom, anybody did that before ?
2: for ip, i don't know if amazon UK will keep their eyes open at my account all the time. we all know how to run account safely in UK ( or USA),BUT I DON'T KNOW THE SITUATION IF RUN IT AT A REMOTE PLACE ( hongkong)
anybody can share some lights on this ?

thanks in advance.

no one know or no one willing to answer ?

I emailed amazon this question , they have replied with a link were I download an inventory file and upload it to amazon de . However the goods need already be on there , if not u need to add them to amazon Germany market place .. Same was as you do the uk on , I did it last night ( same lay out as uk one so bit of guess work with language ) ... Had a sale today so it's worked

German Amazon is huge, stuff flies off the shelf.

Interesting info regarding setting up Amazon DE accounts

i am not sure if amazon cares you register an account at remote place.
for ip address, just a little bit worried about vpn or vps, amazon is so advanced ,using vpn or vps might be a link to amazon.( dongle is the best, unfortunately there is no one i can use in HK)


the other problem is custom,.
UK custom is not bad ( getting crazy now,even they are all genuine,they seized my parcel for paying no tax, i know they just ask invoice to pay tax,but they don't ask anything,just send me a letter,said either go to court or they take them for not paying tax)


,i don't know how is the germany ?


special thanks for micky and sax4 for helping me a lot on this .

If you are not listing a great deal on amazon, maybe you could consider dial-up? :spy:

That would be a good option.

Be careful of Customs in Germany. They can be strict. Also, be aware now, that there may be problems with delivery of items. Cover yourself carefully.

Well I can tell you my experience, one time I had an Amazon account that I was operating from a dodgy country, had no problems. I then posted on here that Amazon don't care about IP addresses.

I then set up another two and registered using a UK ip address, but after registering starting using the accounts in the same dodgy country and both accounts went down.

At the very least I would register the account with a local IP address, you can then try to run from Hong Kong

thank you so much for greenbean and sax4
you are right, sax's advice might be the way to get around.
also the custom, i lost 20k by UK custom in 8 month. i guarantee they are all genuine.
it seems like the crisis has already affected the custom. they take as more as they wish.UK custom used to be a heaven before.
thanks god we do have a forum here .
