Buying family or friends Amazon seller Account

[ghosty]

My friend is willing to sell his old Amazon seller account to me. He doesn’t have the account set up as a business. Can I Change his information to my new business information and not get triggered?

Never mix family/friends and business...

There are 2 things buying or becoming Partners!

Not easy to change info and expect no issues....avoid this

I would say the chances of converting his private seller account to a business in your name are zero.

But if you don't ask you don't get as long as your friend is aware of the possibility of their account being suspended.

Thank You guys I appreciate the help.. I will probably just try creating Stealth one.

NO, you can't.
You can add a business info so you pay your taxes though.

But if I were you... I wouldn't use it until you truly know how to use amazon.
So save this one account for later.

Use your Amazon Ghost accounts first. Make your mistakes with them.

What is behind doing this?

Have you read any info here about procedures

[ghosty]

Yes, I have read somewhere here before..but you will never get to hear the final answer!

[SaiJin]

there isn't always a final answer, rather advice and warnings, then the rest is the person's own decision.

The only final answer is to get to understand a working method to create a stealth account,imho.

And that means flexibility.


Try to work out what you think is close enough to the final answer. Post your plan. We can help for sure.

So updating the tax information section to add new business info (EIN) won’t trigger anything? A partner of mine has an account that I’m using to sell my product and I am planning to have them as a partner under my LLC. Once that happens, I can finally have access back to amazon but I’m wondering if updating the tax and business info to my LLC will cause anything

[SaiJin]

changing any info is always risky, period.

No way around it.

I was registered to Amazon about 8 years ago, I have never used it. Now I decided to go there, but I can't. They ask to confirm the phone number, I have this number, but this number is Russian from Russia and the code does not come to it, although earlier it was possible to register to the Russian number. How to restore an account, where to write to them?

An 8 year old inactive account will most likely have been permanently suspended. The chances of recovery are very low if you cannot access the messages sent to the registered number. IMO Amazon are dead set on making reactivation of long standing dormant seller accounts almost impossible.

It's not always the case. I've had a dormant account for 6 years and they just needed recertification and that's it.

Perhaps you do not quite understand me, when I try to reset the password, a code comes to my email, which means it is still active, then when I enter this code, it asks me to write a phone number that ends in 61, I have access to this number, but my number starts with +7, and the system requires +1, respectively, if I enter +1 ****** 61 then the code does not come, if +7 ......... 61 then an error.
How can I contact the support service besides a phone call, where can I write?

[Dmitry]

I have restored my account, the question is closed
