Options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Individual<\/strong> (for casual or hobby sellers)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Privately-owned business (LLC, sole proprietorship, corporation)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publicly-owned business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Charity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>State-owned enterprise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, select the country where your business is legally registered. This determines your <strong>compliance requirements, available marketplaces, and tax regulations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many sellers, this step is where business structure decisions matter. If you plan to build a long-term Amazon business, <a href=\"https:\/\/starterx.co\/blog\/llc-formation-guide-for-amazon-business\/\">setting up a proper legal structure like an LLC<\/a> can help with <strong>liability protection, tax setup, and account stability.

You must provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Legal name (exactly as on ID or tax documents)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business address (must match utility bill or bank statement)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Phone number (for two-step authentication)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Email address (for account and buyer communication)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Date and place of birth (for verification checks)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure all information <strong>matches exactly across documents<\/strong>. Any mismatch can delay account approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Add Payment and Billing Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon requires a <strong>valid credit or debit card that supports international transactions<\/strong>. This card is used for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monthly subscription fees (Professional plan)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Verification charges<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advertising costs (if enabled later)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to add a <strong>bank account for receiving payouts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your local bank is not supported, you can use <strong>global payment solutions like Payoneer or Wise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Required attributes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Account holder name (must match your registration)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bank account number (IBAN or local format)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SWIFT\/BIC code for international transfers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Complete the Tax Interview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be required to complete a <strong>tax interview inside Seller Central<\/strong>, which determines your tax obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>U.S. sellers submit <strong>SSN or EIN (W-9 form)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-U.S. sellers complete <strong>W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EU sellers may need a <strong>valid VAT number<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This step usually takes <strong>less than 10 minutes<\/strong>, but accuracy is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many sellers face issues here because they do not fully understand <a href=\"https:\/\/starterx.co\/blog\/amazon-seller-taxes-guide\/\">Amazon seller tax requirements<\/a>, especially when dealing with different countries, reporting rules, and compliance obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Upload Verification Documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon will ask you to upload documents for <strong>identity and address verification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must submit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Government-issued ID<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Must be <strong>valid, not expired, and clearly visible<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit <strong>front and back (if required)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Proof of address (bank statement or utility bill)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Must show <strong>full name and matching address<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Must be <strong>issued within the last 90 days<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All documents must be <strong>clear, in color, and unedited<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Complete Identity Verification (Video Call)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your location, Amazon may require a <strong>video verification call<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the call, Amazon may:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ask you to <strong>show your original ID<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm your <strong>name and personal details<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review your documents in real time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A working camera device<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Original documents ready<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A quiet, well-lit environment<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 8: Submit and Wait for Account Approval<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all steps are completed, Amazon will review your application.

Any inconsistency between your uploaded documents and form entries triggers a manual review or rejection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to avoid it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use your <strong>exact full legal name<\/strong> everywhere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid using abbreviations (e.g., \u201cSt.\u201d vs. \u201cStreet\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure your <strong>bank statement<\/strong> or <strong>utility bill<\/strong> has the same address as your Amazon profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If registering a business, use the registered company name exactly as it appears in your legal documents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Submitting Blurry or Incomplete Documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem:<\/strong> You upload a low-resolution or cropped scan of your ID or proof of address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> Amazon\u2019s system needs to read names, numbers, and expiration dates clearly for verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to avoid it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Upload <strong>color scans<\/strong> in high resolution (300 DPI or higher)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure the <strong>entire document is visible<\/strong>, including all corners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use PDF, JPG, or PNG formats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not mark or redact anything<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Accepted documents:<\/strong> Passport, national ID card (front and back), utility bill, bank statement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Wrong Business Type Selection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem:<\/strong> You select the wrong entity type during registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> If you register as a business but submit personal bank details or ID, your application may be flagged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to avoid it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you run a <strong>registered company<\/strong>, select <strong>Business<\/strong> and submit official documents (certificate of incorporation, business license)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re an <strong>individual<\/strong>, select <strong>Individual<\/strong> and submit your personal ID and personal bank account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t switch types mid-process unless advised by Amazon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Using a Prepaid or Virtual Card<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem:<\/strong> You add a payment method that Amazon cannot charge or validate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> Amazon tests your card during registration to validate your billing method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to avoid it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use a <strong>real credit or debit card<\/strong> (Visa, Mastercard, Amex)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The card must support <strong>international transactions<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It should not be prepaid, gift, or virtual-only<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>name on the card<\/strong> should match your Amazon account holder&#8217;s name<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Missing or Incomplete Tax Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem:<\/strong> You skip or incorrectly fill out the tax interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> Tax compliance is mandatory. Incomplete or incorrect entries may pause the approval process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to avoid it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>U.S. sellers must enter a valid <strong>SSN or EIN<\/strong> for the <strong>W-9<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-U.S. sellers must complete a <strong>W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use legal names and registered addresses exactly as they appear in government records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure your <strong>VAT or GST number<\/strong> is valid if registering in Europe, UK, or India<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Document Language Not Supported<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem:<\/strong> You upload ID or proof of address in a language Amazon does not support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> Amazon requires English or certified translations for all documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to avoid it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Upload documents in <strong>English<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If not available, provide a <strong>certified translation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Combine original + translation into one PDF if needed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Skipping Video Verification or Missing the Call<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem:<\/strong> You ignore the identity verification call or miss your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> Amazon may cancel your application if you don\u2019t complete the live check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to avoid it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be ready for a <strong>live video verification<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a laptop or phone with a working camera<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have your <strong>original ID<\/strong> on hand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete the call in a <strong>quiet, well-lit room<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Using an Inactive or Ineligible Bank Account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem:<\/strong> Your payout account cannot receive payments or is under another name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> Amazon verifies payout accounts before disbursing funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to avoid it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use a <strong>personal or business bank account<\/strong> that matches the registration details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure the account supports <strong>incoming international transfers<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If local banking isn\u2019t supported, use an Amazon-approved partner like <strong>Payoneer<\/strong> or <strong>Wise<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Countries_Are_Eligible_to_Sell_on_Amazon\"><\/span>What Countries Are Eligible to Sell on Amazon?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Amazon allows sellers

This includes configuring your store details, choosing the right fulfillment method, preparing your first product listing, and making sure your account meets Amazon\u2019s compliance standards.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You now have access to Seller Central, but how you set things up at this stage directly affects your performance, account health, and long-term growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Set Up Your Seller Account Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to <strong>Settings \u2192 Account Info<\/strong> in Seller Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start selling, make sure your account details are complete and accurate. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Business display name<\/strong> that customers will see on your listings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business address<\/strong> that matches your verification documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer service email and phone number<\/strong> for buyer communication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storefront details<\/strong> if you plan to build a branded presence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping this information consistent helps build trust and ensures your account stays compliant with marketplace requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Configure Your Shipping and Fulfillment Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to <strong>Settings \u2192 Shipping Settings<\/strong> and choose how you want to fulfill orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your fulfillment method affects your costs, delivery speed, and overall business model. Many sellers compare different approaches before deciding how to handle storage, shipping, and customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create shipping templates based on regions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set handling and delivery times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Define shipping rates and return policies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enable FBA in your account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare products according to Amazon&#8217;s requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Send inventory to Amazon fulfillment centers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing between fulfillment options depends on how you want to manage operations, costs, and scalability, especially when <a href=\"https:\/\/starterx.co\/blog\/amazon-fba-vs-fbm\/\">comparing models like Amazon FBA and FBM<\/a> for long-term growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Business accounts must submit proof of business registration, such as a certificate of incorporation or tax ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which countries are eligible to register as Amazon sellers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon supports seller registrations from over 100 countries. Eligibility depends on your ability to complete identity verification and receive international payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I sell in multiple Amazon marketplaces with one account?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Amazon Unified Accounts let you sell in multiple countries within a region, such as North America or Europe, using one Seller Central login.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to list my products in each marketplace separately?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, each Amazon marketplace requires its own product listing due to language, currency, tax, and fulfillment differences. You can use Amazon\u2019s Build International Listings tool to copy and manage listings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens after my seller account is approved?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After approval, you can access Seller Central, configure your store, add your first product, choose a fulfillment method, and begin managing orders and payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I avoid common Amazon registration errors?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use matching legal names across all documents, upload high-resolution color scans, select the correct business type, use a chargeable credit card, and attend any required video verification appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) available to new sellers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, new sellers can use FBA after registration. You must prepare products according to FBA guidelines and ship inventory to Amazon&#8217;s fulfillment centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will I receive my first Amazon payment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon disburses payments every 14 days. You\u2019ll receive your first payout after your account is verified, products are sold, and reserve periods (if any) are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To set up an Amazon Seller account, go to sell.amazon.com, create or sign in to your account, choose your seller [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-amazon"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Set Up an Amazon Seller Account (Step-by-Step Guide) - StarterX<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Start selling on Amazon in minutes.
