50 transactions in a calendar year???

[da5543]

Hello,

I received email form Amazon today stated to provided identity information. I have not exceed 50 yet, I thought it would be 200 transaction or $20,000 year. Please help!

Hello from Amazon,

It is Amazon’s policy for Amazon.com Individual sellers who exceed 50 transactions in a calendar year, regardless of sales volume, to provide tax identity information to Amazon. Your sales activity indicates that you may exceed 50 transactions or more in a calendar year. You can proactively provide your tax identity by logging in to your seller account and using the short interview process. From the Settings tab select Account Info and then click Edit in the Legal Entity section. Note that this interview can only be accessed by the primary user of your seller account.

To help protect the security of your tax identity information, do not respond to this e-mail with your tax identity information or share it over the phone.

Note that if you have reached 50 transactions and the required information is not provided to Amazon, your Amazon selling privileges will be suspended until you provide the information.

For additional information about entering your tax information, search on "1099k" in seller Help to see answers to frequently asked questions.

Help how?
If you want to continue selling on that account, provide TAX ID.
Or you can create new account and sale again

Yup they tell you that you have up to 50 sales before Tax ID is requested. It sucks but either get a Tax ID or start more accounts and make sure you have items that make it worth while. eBay/Amazon Stealth sellers we have all had to change how we do business since 2010.
