Confused about what I’m doing wrong to get verified

by Seller_VX64OgvS54xvC

Hi

I got approved logged and my account has been deactivated several times before I’ve even been able to list anything. We work from home and have a company set up in mine and my wife’s name, we’ve submitted the company house documents and that seemed to be fine then I was asked to supply a utility bill. The only one in my name is Thames Water, I downloaded it and submitted it but they’ve not accepted it and I don’t think they will accept our other bills as they’re in my wife’s name. I’ve tried my mobile bill as well as that is a business account and in my name but again rejected (Tesco Mobile). I’m at a loss of how to resolve this situation

If both yourself and your wife are beneficiaries, you need to put the company name and registered address under the company details section and amazon may ask you for your AoA etc at some point

Under the beneficial owners section you list all shareholders with a 25% or more share along with their residential address - so presumably both you and your wife

The utility bill amazon require is to be in the name and residential address of the person - not a business bill

No I am as they didn’t accept her name when she tried to set up the account. They said it had illegal characters so none of her ID would match when she tried to get verified

Just as a side note, I’m just being nosey and looking at your website. As you sell end of season top brand clothing ranges, if that’s what you intend to sell on here, you’ll need to check with those brands first ie M&S , John Lewis etc as I think there maybe brand gating issues

From the post above, I understand that you have concerns related to “Account de-activation”.

Thank you for sharing Performance notification for reference.

In accordance with UK regulations, Amazon Payments UK requires sellers to provide information about themselves and their business so that they can receive the proceeds of their transactions on Amazon EU stores.

Important: The documents must be legible, authentic, and unaltered and contain the required information. The name and address on the document must match the information entered in Seller Central.

Note: There are several reasons why team may have declined to open your account. It may be because team were unable to verify your identity as required by applicable legislation.

Providing incomplete or inaccurate information is a common reason why verification may not be successful.

If you need any further assistance, you can post here so that we or any of the sellers on forum can help you.
