You’ll need to research the specific rules for the UK and possibly the EU as well, and make sure you comply with them.
-
"Products intended for the UK market must comply with the requirements of all applicable UK legislation, including those listed below, which require UKCA marking instead of CE marking in order to be placed on the market in GB. However, products in conformity with relevant European product supply legislation and correctly bearing the CE marking will (until 31st December 2022) be treated as satisfying the requirements of the relevant UK legislation and need not bear UK marking.

“Products intended for the single European market must comply with the requirements of European legislation, including CE marking (PDF) . UK product legislation continues to align with many of those EU requirements.”

It not Amazon rules but rules laid down by the UK government you need to be aware of. A quick google search can tell you everything you need to know. This from the UK government website
Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
