any safe way to be a amazon seller who Not in USA?

[amazonp]

I learn for days for it and buy vanllia from a good seller here. BUT i find issue ：

1, I should registered as Chinese right? once amazon ban or limit your account, you maybe asked for ID check or phone check or anything that I can not easily get if I prevent to be USA residential. or it seldom happen?

2, If I registered as Chinese, I must use china address billing on VCC right? A vcc is safe for amazon seller so far?

So foreigner who not USA people, how you do stealth account? thank for share.

If you want to sell on amazon com, then you take every step to appear to be US based.

Thats true, however i have been selling on amazon US based in the "UK" and i have been selling for over 6months with greta success, although the account is banned now due to high defect rates, it worked out fine.
Thanks

If Amazon bans or limits your account, you are in bad shape - US doesnt really ask for ID BUT...you can lose all funds.

You need to read more about amazon before you jump in

so you use UK CC and UK billing address to registered amazon.com?
that is not problem.
all people not in USA all doing this.

my problem is like UK home address, UK phone all running at UK.
but CC billing address is USA.

the more read, the more confused.

for example,
what you mean "bad shape"? seller performance right?
if so, it only make u ban , but never loose money?
mostly when amazon ban you but hold money 90 days.

some one said "⊗⊗⊗⊗ identify" can make you loose all money.
so i guess if amazon find you are "⊗⊗⊗⊗", maybe they eat your money.

If Amazon deletes your account (so you cannot log in), you can lose your money

NO. This is not going to work.

If you want to do stealth on amazon com, you need

USA address

USA IP

USA bank account to withdraw funds

VCC accepted by amazon

So you understand this?

I think it is entirely possible to set up a USA account and appear to be from the US. But what about shipping? Customers are not going to tolerate waiting two weeks for their orders. Some will, but enough will give you bad ratings to put your defect rate WELL ABOVE 1%.

This will be your biggest obstacle. You don't want to ship from China.

Look into FBA or renting warehouse space in the US
