Amazon asking for documents

[gg123]

Just opened new Amazon Stealth account. Never listed anything. suspended it and are asking for documents such as utility bill, invoices, business license.

I've never had this happen before. Are they doing this to all new accounts now or did something flag it.

Any advice how to handle it?

Also, is it easier to set up accounts outside the U.S. to sell on U.S amazon?

[Ebayorbust]

It's fairly common for Amazon to do that.

Any advice how to handle it?

Supply what they are asking for.

Totally standard these days

Only thing you can do is supply them with what they ask asked for

[SaiJin]

Yup, give them what they want and do it fast.

You using a good VPN btw?

How do you get around tax documents if they have someone else's name on them?

I set up account 3 wks ago. Haven't asked for anything yet but it is my real info too.

What variety of documents do Amazon accept for business license? I remember reading somewhere on the forum, probably by elmo, that they accept a few different kinds of docs for proving your business.

[gg123]

I need to provide some sort of utility bill, and invoices, the business license is optional.
Its stealth account. Do they verify the proof?

[jakobrockz]

In my experience no, but everything needs to be 100% the same as the account or they'll reject it

Its common to be requested documents.

The most common are driver license and bank statement for registering a pro store

[breaknex]

you can create the invoices yourself. I did couple of days ago

What can count as utility bill? I rent and only have prepaid cell phone

[JamesNorth101]

Gas or electric bills do and most people that rent still get them

[ajabahey33]

It's standard for register.

utilities are household bills. Electricity, water, gas

prepaid cell phone bill may work, give it a try
