Does Amazon treat US-registered seller account differently?
My friend offered me his seller account for my new brand; he had registered it in 2018 with his passport (not US-issued) and then changed the legal entity to an American Corporation later, I'm planning to open an LLC for that brand and I'm considering whether to take my friend's account or register for a new seller account altogether using that LLC. Does Amazon treat an Amazon seller account registered with an American entity the same as an account that had been registered as a foreign individual and then changed to an American entity?

Can I transfer my seller account?
Seller accounts generally are not transferable. Seller accounts provide access to the tools and resources that sellers use to list their products and manage their orders. Seller accounts also include account activity history and buyer feedback. Every seller on Amazon must have a seller account and an agreement with Amazon that establishes the terms under which the seller lists and sells their products.
If the ownership of a business changes for any reason, the new owner must establish a new seller account.
If the ownership of a business is not changed, but the individuals responsible for managing the seller account have changed, you can add users to the account. For more information, see Set User Permissions.
