Hi,

I'm hoping a mod can assist here. I need to change the legal entity on my EU seller account, this is to the same beneficial owners but just a different company name. I know i need to do this via https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/compliance/legal-entity-change however i don't know how long it takes Amazon to action and if there are any pitfalls i should be aware of before doing this. We really cannot afford to lose our account as we head into Q4 but this needs to be done ASAP.

If anyone has been through this process and has any advice i'd be grateful for your feedback!

Thanks.

You have incorrectly selected the individual legal entity during the registration of your Amazon selling account.

i got this email today. i am new on amazon and i dont know about it . what to do. im selling in uk and europe aswell so which option should i choose? can anyone help

.

use the following information to select the correct legal entity:

-- Individual: Select this option if you do not intend to sell on Amazon commercially or professionally. This option allows you to sell personal items that you no longer want or need, for example, old DVDs or books.

-- International Sole Proprietor: This legal entity is applicable for any commercial individuals who sell for profit. A sole proprietorship is usually registered with local authorities. There is no legal distinction between the owner and the business.

-- UK Sole Proprietor: This legal entity applies exclusively to UK sellers and is for any commercial individual who sells for profit. A UK sole proprietorship is registered with the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). There is no legal distinction between the owner and the business.

-- State-owned business: This is a business that is either wholly or partially owned and operated by a government.

-- Publicly-listed business: This is a business with shares listed on a stock exchange for public trading.

-- Privately-owned business: These entities, such as limited companies or partnerships, are businesses controlled and operated by private individuals.

-- Charity: This is an incorporated or non-incorporated tax-exempt body

I have received mail from Amazon that I have incorrectly selected as "individual" legal entity in place of sole proprietorship due which my selling privileges may be temporarily suspended.

But when I went in Account Info and tried to change my legal entity than I did not find any option for sole proprietorship. Now how can I change my legal entity?

I am attaching the screenshot for your reference.

Thank you
