Dont go overboard with excitment.

amazon com asks for tax info.

Keep that in mind

Thanks for the help Micky and GreenBean.

Sorry to ask again Micky, but was the part about selling worldwide using a amz.com account not correct?

Also, does anyone think the amz stealth guide may need adjusting for the new rules with uk, etc... accounts now?

amazon.com you can set your settings to supply worldwide, however the customer has to buy from .com. I would say virtually 100% of UK customers would buy from .co.uk.

The guide is mostly correct in setting up stealth, just amazon are changing the ID methods which the guide I would imagine cannot advise on as to creating false ID etc is fraud. IMO

I am not sure what is going on or if Amazon.com and .uk do actually share info but from searching through the forum i got the impression that they do not share information.

Today i just tried to set up a Amazon.com account from UK using my old Amazon.uk details as i thought it would be fine as they dont share info but on creating my account (new email addresss) it instantly got suspended.

I got a message saying 'Our records indicate that you are not authorized to access this feature. Return to your Seller Account' which i found was rather strange.

What did you use as credit card for account setup?

Re: Can a UK resident set up an Amazon US seller account?
 

I used a pre paid cash plus card, the account details have never been used on any Amazon site but the name address and all other details where used on my Amazon uk and EU site.

Will 3V and The Visa Gift cards work for .com?

Re: Can a UK resident set up an Amazon US seller account?
 

To be honest i am not sure.... I dont even know if it was the actual card details that got me flagged in the first place. Could have been all the details i used as they were all the same as my previous account except email

Re: Can a UK resident set up an Amazon US seller account?
 

Some of the gift cards are only available for use in the UK. Read on the packet this will give you the answer.

Please make sure you do check the fine print for using them across the pond.

Re: Can a UK resident set up an Amazon US seller account?
 

hello there guys, i have been selling on amazon.co.uk for some time since last year. during my good times i was the expert in .co.uk and raking in the sales and cash. during my good times i had so many accounts, one after another. and then around april when i tried to open another account it woudnt let me as it ask me to provide with proof of ID, TAX INFO, LETTER. after then it has been impossible for me to get back on amazon.co.uk. i have been researching about amazon.com but i dont know if it would work for me as i am from the uk.

questions about amazon.com, can i send my fba inventory into uk fulfillment centre rather than sending it to amazon.com which will be in usa? if so i have to send inventory to usa what are the customs like over there as i from uk and have no idea?

i have been told that after 3 months amazon.com hold your money as they then ask for tax info, which means you have to switch to new accounts every 3 months?

finally is there any way to create an amazon european seller account in any way? such as.co.uk, .de, .fr, .it, .es?

THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR VALUABLE TIME AND PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

i would be very happy if you guys could please please leave your email so i can pm you. thank you please help

Is using your debit bank card to verify stealth a big no no? I see everyone suggesting using vanilla cards, why not simply used the credit/debit card assigned to the new business checking account you opened for Amazon deposits?
