EINs for new accounts

[minky1338]

So, looks like Amazon is asking for EINs for all new seller central accounts.

What is the best way to get multiple EINs since this data must be real?

In what Amazon platform you are plan to sale? .com, .uk,...?

[minky1338]

hi, this would be on amazon.com

there's a section there where you have to enter a valid EIN..and Amazon validates against the IRS before approving / rejecting the account..

What is the best way to proceed here?

Thank you for your help in advance.

this would be for the .com in the US

You will required U.S SSN or EIN for PRO Merchant account only. If you open Individual account you don't need it till you hit 50 transaction

I just received an email that I may reach the 50 transactions. They want a tax ID, it's a .com account and is stealth. My question is giving an EIN will be sufficient enough? Just checking before I submit it as the account is growing in feedback and has been good so far. Thanks in advance.

"till you hit 50 transaction"
Mean 50 transaction per month or life of the account.

50 transactions in one year

how does one cancel an ein after it's no longer needed?

[hafeezc]

EIN number is same as SSN number. You can not cancel it.

so if one doesn't use the ein to sell anymore, do they still have to get the tax filed?

[hafeezc]

No income, no tax filing.
