Buying in Amazon with your Seller Account
This one is about buying in Amazon. I searched but couldn’t find anything (search terms bring everything as it is buying).
Do you use your account to buy things to your business (with your seller account) or do you use separate account for this purpose?
For some consumables, etc…

Assuming that you have a prime personal account, you can link it to a buying business account and benefit from using prime, for purchases.
It is quite safe to link these kind of accounts.
But I would suggest that you keep business purchases separate from personal, as it’s just easier to account for. Plus, if your vat registered, the prices are displayed without vat.
There are some other perks to it, but not a great deal.

There isn’t an issue with buying really - in fact i think by default now when registering as a seller Amazon wants to use your buying account. Just be careful with leaving reviews or feedback - i leave neither now.

Just to be clear that yes you can do this no problem,
But should only be for things like business supplies etc, Not for buying actual goods to resell on amazon.
I have seen that one done before and got into trouble

I am not VAT registered yet, but if we could get the threshold I would happily get registered.
I have personal account but I am not a Prime member, thinking about it though.
I asked only to shop for consumables, etc… for business use only. Thanks to @Demel I will keep in mind if I buy something from my selling account I will be careful with reviews or feedback.

I used to use a business account to buy with, but tbh all the logging out and switching accounts started to annoy me, I just use my personal account now with my prime to order things.
I’m not vat registered though, and there’s not a huge amount I buy so we’re only talking a few purchases a month.
I also don’t leave feedback or reviews.
