Help to get verified!
Hi,
I want to get verified to sell in the UK as an individual. I provided all the relevant documents and now im being asked for an identity verification call. As many here have said, i have no option to select that when i log into the US seller central. Funnily enough i was approved for the US, but not UK.
Any ideas how i can move forward? I dont have a VAT number as i thought that was only if you are expecting sales over a certain amount per year.
Thanks

Where do you live ?
If its not in uk, you cannot register as an individual and if you intend to store stock here you may need to register for vat as a NETP

The fact that you are able to post on here, means that you have some access to seller central in the UK.
So when you sign into that, there will probably be a notification etc.
As regards VAT, that depends on your location. If you are a UK resident, then the threshold will apply.

Hi,
Out of curiosity (and to clear off the ambiguity given by this marketplace), what do you mean by “Individual”? The account type or the selling plan? Despite being named in the same way, they are two very different things (the former when you’re registering as a private, and not a business, selling off your old, used products, the latter when you want to sell without paying their monthly fee, £30, and you pay fees only and if you sell something)

Thanks for your fast replies all!
I am based in the UK and don’t intend to be selling higher than the VAT threshold per year.
My account info says ‘Selling on Amazon - Individual’ . Does that only allow you to sell used items? I wanted to start of selling new items without the monthly fee, to see how it goes before deciding further.
Let me know what you think and if you need any more info

I would imagine sole trader initially

I dont see anywhere where you can state you dont need a VAT number as yet?

Hi all,
Just managed to do my verification call finally!! How long should i expect to wait for verification based on your experience/hearing about other people’s recent experience?
Thanks

Hello. I’m not in the UK. Should I choose UK Sole proprietor or Privately owned as my correct legal business entity?
I didn’t have any UTR, VAT number or HMRC.
