Do you mean Individual as in your legal entity?
If so, you can only sell off your own second hand goods
If you mean Individual Selling plan, that is where you pay a fee per sale rather than a monthly subscription fee
What advice do you need on adding a product ?

I’m not going to call a random mobile number - which you should remove anyway as the forum is accessible to the general public.
As per above, if you have followed the guidance in Seller University about adding products and are still stuck then try asking specific questions and i’m sure someone will help.

Hello,
Thank you for using the seller forums.
I have removed your phone number from the forum as you are not permitted to post personal details. You can find the forum guidelines here.
As advised in the thread I would recommend that you review Seller University and the help pages that you can find through your account to assist you with listing and selling on Amazon.
Just yesterday there was a news announcement published in Seller Central and the forum with a link to a beginner’s guide to selling on Amazon. You can find the forum thread here and the beginner’s guide here.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Jessica

@Jessica - see above post by Q_S_Co1 as a prime example of the confusion between Individual Account and Individual Selling Plan.
The other big issue that occurs frequently is that new sellers are not aware that they need to register with HMRC as self-employed (sole-trader, ltd company or partnership) and think they can just sign up , buy items and sell them on Amazon.
I have just had a quick look at the Beginner’s Guide (though not read it in full or detail) but there is no mention that I can see (though admit I may have missed it) of the Individual Seller Account and is totally aimed at business sellers.
Also, I guess that new sellers will have already signed-up before they actually have access to read the Beginner’s Guide.
Clear guidance and instructions need to be visible and read - maybe a tick box to say has been read - BEFORE even actually signing up for a new seller account.

–Yes, your account has been change as a sole trader—
