Hello, everyone!

I’m planning to sell handmade animal figurines that I create myself on Amazon. Could you please tell me if I can sell them as an individual? Or is it mandatory to register as a legal entity?

I tried registering a professional account but got stuck during the verification process. Amazon is asking me to change the account type from individual to legal entity, but I don’t have a registered company or the required details. What options do I have?

Hi,

I contacted with support team they said we don't guid you about legal entity selection

Country of residence: Latvia

Business registration country: Latvia

Amazon Market: Germany

I think I messed up with the Identity information.

I am Sole Proprietor registered in Latvia, i also have opted for Union-OSS for European market.

When on Amazon I had to choose the business type in Business and Contact Information section, there was only following choice available for Latvia:

1. State-owned business

2. Publicly-listed

3. Privately-owned business

4. Charity

5. Individual

I chooses "Individual" and received an answer from Amazon that i' m incorrectly selected the individual legal entity and have to choose from the following:

-- 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.

But i don' t have Sole Proprietor option listed in the list provided by Amazon.

So i had to choose Privately-Owned business.

And I think this is wrong choice.

Now Amazon asks me to provide Legal Representative and Business registration document. When you are Sole proprietor you don't have these documents.

I am not able to go backward and change business type.

Would you be so kind to help me sort this issue.

Hallo,

hat jemand eine Ahnung was das mit dem "aktiven Darlehen" unter "Verkäuferkonto übertragen" bedeutet? (Siehe unten)

Und nein wir haben kein Darlehen über die "Amazon Kreditvermittlung" abgeschlossen. Wir haben aber nach einer irrtümlichen Sperre wegen des Verdachts eines Fremdzugriffs aktuell keine Berechtigung (oder eine interne "Schutzsperre") unser Bankkonto wieder dem "Amazon.de" Marktplatz zuzuorden.

Bin über jede Hilfe dankbar.

We are unfortunately not able to proceed with your legal entity change request as your existing entity has an active loan with Amazon Capital Services (UK) Ltd. Please contact support @ amazoncapitalservices. co. uk for details on how to make the change.
