Selling on European Amazon
 

Hey Guys,

I live in Canada and am Canadian. I want to know is it possible for me to sell on European Amazon?

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

Off course you can, just go to amazon.co.uk and sign up.

...and while you are doing it... why don't you change your country flag to match your country and place of operation?

Welcome to the forums OP - definitely doable to set up an Amazon account for Europe

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

Yes, it is doable.

Good Luck

:welcome;

but will need UK,DE passport number or EU documents.

How can pass this step ?

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

No it is not doable anymore unless you have a passport etc.

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

No you don't, you need a passport and maybe proof of address. A Canadaian passport will be fine.

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

Most people have a passport or driving licence

but he is from Canada, doesn't he need a European passport to sell on the European Marketplace?

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

Or you have to be a company with a warehouse in Europe, there are Americans etc. selling on Amazon UK (''ships from United States'') but they're large companies and also active on Amazon US etc.

Not sure if you can open a selling account on EU marketplace as an individual non-EU citizen (because of the new regulations).

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

if you have machine readable pp then you can use, doesn't matter which country r u from.

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

Thank you guys for all the info.

To open an account on amazon.co.uk you need a EU passport ( i tried it) but i thought if i had an account on amazon.ca i wouldn't need to create another on amazon.co.uk but would still be able to sell in European marketplace.

@ilcarletto - At the moment I am in UK. But will be moving back to Canada in a month. I will change my info then :)

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

no no no no

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

Instead of listening to peoples comments which most are false, just log onto amazon.co.uk and all the CORRECT information is there. If you have an account in Ca it makes no difference or helps to open a UK account. Remember you need a new e mail address.

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

I can get a new email ID and what not. I even have a bank account in UK too. Address and bills on my name. but I am not a UK citizen and don't have European passport.

My wife is british and shes had amazon.co.uk account which was linked to a bad account (her brothers) and was banned so that is no use to me.

I am guessing there is no other way for me to sell on European market.

What i don't understand is that some one who is a permanent resident in European countries, how come they aren't allowed to sell on amazon.co.uk? They usually have work permits, bank accounts and permanent address in UK

Amazon.co.uk Help: Countries Accepted for Seller Registration

There is this link i found. If i understand it correct, i think Canadians are able to sell on amazon.co.uk

Not sure how it would work. I will contact amazon once i go back to Canada and figure it out as to how i would be able to do that.

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

ai.malik, don't get me wrong but have you left school yet....

you can open a Uk account with your ca pp, you can use you address you have in the uk or your Canadian one.It not exactly rocket science. People on this forum get more unbelievable...sorry

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

Hey Micky

i tried opening an account on amazon.co.uk. I had given them my UK address. They were asknig for my UK passport or EU passport. I didn't have option to submit my canadian passport number.

I am guessing may be its cause i had given them UK address. I will try giving them my Canadian address and see if the option pops up for ca passport info.

And i did leave school. should have stuck around to finish it though lol

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

Did you do it with Canadian address, ai.malik ?

Have see option for Canadian pp ?

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

@al.malik, when you post up links for Amazon (or any selling platforms), make sure you add "Warning Amazon link" so that people dont accidentally click it

Re: Selling on European Amazon
 

The option is passport number, they DONT ask the nationality of the passport. Sorry but have you gone through the set up process or are you just assuming.....Beggars belief......
