Since AMZN is a global e commerce company,it probably can verify in countries like UK,Germany,Australia,not sure it can do so with every country
do whatever it asks,

Did you hade to upload a document with your EIN or other Tax number on it? Or just entered into the page? |
do what they ask you to do.
of course they want to check if the number really exists.
seller return address is usually shown on the shipping label.
some would use a PO box .
Did you guys get an email from AMZN,it is charging 2% extra for item sold by Prime third party seller?
If you are selling to AMZN buyers who have a prime account and pledge to live up to AMZN prime standards?

If you are overseas,I dont think you would be a prime seller.
“We’re updating our requirements for Seller Fulfilled Prime to ensure that it provides customers a great and consistent Prime experience,” the notice states.

How is charging sellers an extra 2% help the seller provides Prime buyers a great consistent prime experience?
Business must have slowed down a lot,I hardly see any Blue CAre Express van anymore in my neighborhood.
Our local mail service shop which handles Fed Exp,UPS and DHL has a large empty box for anyone shipping USPS can drop off Ebay and AMZN packages for USPS pickup went from one large box to 3 boxes,now these boxes are only half full.
It also has a jar for TIPS!
It looks like people now prefer to shop in brick and mortar stores,I go to Walmart sometimes.
There are some advantages of Fullfillment by AMZN,it has more warehouses spread out worldwide,if your goods are made in China,you can ask the factory to ship some to their Australia,HK,JAPAN,Malaysia warehouses.
Some distributors and manufacturers prefer AMZN than running their own warehouse.
Of course there is one problem,for unsold inventory,you can ask AMZN to destroy or return them to you,but it cant find you a buyer to takeover.
AMZN also is reviving its carrier delivery business,compete vs Fed EXP and UPS/
And the Justice Dept is getting ready to take on AMZN for its practice.also teamster next target is AMZN,stay tuned

The one to watch is UAW vs F,GM,STL?
Their war chest is $850 millions,strikers get $500/week while on strike,and some states may grant unemployment benefits while on strike.
please dont call them slaves,no one forces them to work at AMZN

I recall back in the early days,Bestbuy was selling on AMZN,then it realised it is helping AMZN more than it helps BBY,so it started promoting its own website,so did other big companies.
WMT never bother,it bought Jet.com which flopped,but WMT.COM has done well.

AMZN will time an employee going to the bathroom .
New US INFORM Consumers Act imposes new requirements for sellers
