Various Questions about AMAZON
 

1. I have an alive AMAZON account registered with my UK real bank information, and present only sell to UK and items dispatched from UK.

Now I am considering to open Amazon America under this account, so questions:

1. Will I get paid by USD or Pounds? And what’s the rate if needs to be from USD to Pounds? Any transfer fee?

2.Amazon American: Can I name my dispatch address from China? Because I would like to post the items from China if buyers are from America.

3.If I am going to create American AMAZON account but without American bank card, is it possible? Anyone used PAYONEER before? Works ?

Many thanks

Posting items from China to buyers from America can be a big problem if you are not clear...can be looked on unfavourably by Amazon too.

Depends which bank account you enter, you can use UK account on on amazon USA

You can dispatch from China, but I would keep the address as UK and add plenty of delivery time plus the customer may be liable for import duties.

Use your UK credit card.

Also remember UK and USA don't share info as yet so no linking problems

Well, actually from China to USA by Post Office, the delivery time normally is about 10 days, 20 days max.

Well, I treid to open a store in USA, not sure I did right, I can see all the orders and dashboard information which had the exactly same with UK.
WARNING AMAZON LINKS
The homepage link of UK account: https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/gp/homepage.html/....

The homepage link of USA account: https://sellercentral-europe.amazon....homepage.html/......

From the link, did I do the right step?

I messaged UK help and got a reply that I need to contact USA amazon as they are seperate. Then tried to message USA, it seems I need to create an seller account first which the information I entered are not sure and the pages came wrong it seems as above link.

Many thanks

Well, I am worried the buyers will report and the account will be risky.

Actually items posted from China to USA are faster than UK to USA and much cheaper.

If you want to open a US account just go to amazon.com.

Hi,
Yes I did. But I had the link above and the seller homepage of US had the same information with UK and I am not sure what's going wrong.

I posted the link of seller homepage both:
WARNING AMAZON LINKS

The homepage link of USA account: https://sellercentral-europe.amazon....homepage.html/......

From links, seems right?
Thanks

Have you used the same email address for UK and USA, if so this is your problem.

Re: Various Questions about AMAZON
 

youll get paid in pounds for the us account if you attach the uk based bank account with amazon us but the exchange rate wont be decent
shipping from overeas might work but keep the address as UK if you can but the shipping time might be a concern for you because 7 10 11 days is the norm for amazon us and above that would create issues form the buyer's side.Plus products need to be very high margin because if there are return requests you might have to let the customer keep the item or else get it shipped to another customer because you cant have it returned to you in china ,unless you plan to kee Uk as an option for return
