What should I do? When I chose the “None, I am an individual” choice and right after that pressing verification button, Amazon’s team emailing me back with same email in two days.
I’ve gotten an e-mail which is like,

Well, what are you? Are you someone selling a few personal possessions which would mean you chose the correct legal entity, or are you a business buying / selling for profit in which case you have to tell Amazon what kind of business you are. That’s typically either a sole trader or a ltd company.

Well, going off your name, you are the SCG Group Ltd which has been trading since Feb 19.
If this isn’t you, then at the very least, you need to change your name.

SCG Group does sound like a business name.
You may have mixed up sole trader with individual.
An individual on here is someone selling off their own used possessions (like a book they have read, or a game they no longer play)
So you need to decide which type of business you are
