Need help from Amazon staff to get my account reactivated?
I stopped selling on Amazon UK a few years ago and now i want to start selling again on Amazon Ireland.
My account is deactivated as Amazon want me to upload a valid UK VAT number but im not selling in the UK and wont be storing stock there so i won't need a UK VAT number.
I live in Ireland so that's the marketplace i want to start selling on.
Can any of the staff please help me out with this issue.
Regards

but you opened a uk account originally and are I assume an Irish citizen- as such you are legally required to be uk Vat registered .

You say you stopped selling though. So at some point you did sell in the UK? That is likely why amazon might still want a VAT number.

Hello @Seller_V58tgKcxo5aLs,
This is Abella from Amazon to assist you.
We greatly appreciate you reaching out with your inquiry. Rest assured, we are committed to putting forth our utmost efforts to assist you with your query.
I comprehend that you require assistance in reactivating your account, which was deactivated due to VAT .
VAT stands for Value Added Tax. It’s a tax that VAT-registered traders in Europe add to the price of the goods they sell, and pass on to the national tax authorities when they file their tax returns.
If you sell goods in any European country, it’s likely you may be required to register for Value Added Tax (VAT) in each country you sell in.
Remember, it is the responsibility of each Amazon selling partner to ensure they are VAT-compliant and you should seek professional advice if you are unsure of your obligations.
Depending on the nature of your business, you will be required to register for VAT numbers in a European country as per the regulations. This depends on multiple factors, some of which are: place of business establishment, fulfilment model, and your annual sales.
To learn more about VAT, please see our VAT resources page.
