Currently it is but only by a couple of pence for 100 gram and 250 gram. Other tiers I am not sure as I don't use them.

As I stated in my post when the price rises for 2nd Class on Account start in July then CRL48 will be cheaper again.

CRL48 is more expensive than Second Class Large Letters as royal mail charges different types of surcharges such as Normal Surcharge for using CRL Service and Green Surcharge.

Second Class via Amazon Buy Shipping. It's the same price as the Post Office and buying from Amazon gives you a VTR and A-Z Claim protection.

Pardon for my ignorance as I am new here. I am planning to sell and ship items that can be in a small letter size envelope. I just simply need advise as to what would be the best shipping option for me. I thought Royal mail second class that is worth 85p would be quite sensible. Please let me know your ideas. Many thanks in advance!

Should I just setup a new account?

This account was created in 2014 and not used.

The only problem is all my details are the same.

My account is deactivated and I am trying to reactivate it, the links take me to the account health reactivation page where there are no policies to address when I try to contact support they tell me I can not raise support requests for this and I have to appeal the violations / cases on the reactivation page but I have nothing there.

Hi Everyone - did anyone get anywhere on this? I am battling the same issue and find it impossible to provide the documents amazon are asking for. With a serviced office / virtual office they dont provide any document mentioning rent, rates or council tax bills etc

I'm reaching out for advice on how to handle a VAT verification issue with Amazon. They've informed us that our disbursements could be temporarily withheld worldwide due to questions about our VAT establishment in the UK.

Our business is a UK Limited company, VAT registered for over 6 years, and legally compliant with all VAT requirements. However, we use a virtual office address, and Amazon is requesting proof of a physical operating address. They won’t accept any documentation other than a rental agreement or utility bill, which I can't provide since our registered business address is not our physical location (I prefer not to use my home address publicly) I’m sure that I’m not unique in this situation.

After extensive discussions with an account specialist, it seems Amazon will only accept specific documents like a rental agreement or utility bill for verification. Unfortunately, I cannot provide these for my virtual office and I am unable to switch the address to my home at this stage of verification.

Amazon's stance is that if we cannot verify being established in the UK they will demand the ‘unpaid’ VAT from us . This is confusing and seems unfair, given that we've been diligently VAT compliant for over six years and legally required to be VAT registered (Our turnover is above the threshold).

Has anyone successfully navigated this verification process with a virtual office address? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am also facing the same issue and was considering changing my business address to my home address, you mentioned you were not allowed to do that at this stage of the verification process, why is that? Is amazon blocking you from changing the business address?

Also, how long did it take for Amazon to review your submission(s)?, I have been waiting nearly 5 days now and had no response to my latest document submission.

If you have any updates on your case it would be great to hear as I am currently going through the same case!

Hi All

I currently sell a brand on Amazon owned by my Uncle. He has separate amazon account where the original listings were created but hasn't sold for last few years. He keeps the account open because we were worried the listings might disappear and wanted to have option to sell again. The brand is registered and my account is admin on the brand so I have access to a+ etc. He now wants to fully retire and sell me the brand/trademark. As he still pays £30 a month account fees.

1. I am worried if deletes his account the listings might disappear also. I assume they are stored in the brand registry so can someone assure me the listings will still be available and active on my account?

2. If I do buy the trademark do I tell brand registry about the change and move from admin to owner or is that not possible is admin the most I can be? If he deletes his account will the brand pass onto me in brand registry automatically or is there going to be some unforeseen issues?

IMHO yes but hey this is Amazon and who knows what can happen?

Tread with caution and you are right in doing this and you may want to consider just dropping a case to seller support.

Seller support will not do anything with your account and will not trigger anything, they can only view things or refer it. It is just worth getting clarification (I say that tongue in cheek and rolling my eyes) as you also have to take what they say with a pinch of salt.

They will likely say they will look into it, provide an irrelevant link to seller university that leaves you none of the wiser but at least when the process happens you have a case on record that you can refer back to.

Without knowing the setup with the trademark, it will depend on whether this is held personally or held by a company. Depends then on whether you are buying the company or buying the trademark personally.

Trademark issues only generally arise when there is an infringement. You maybe just overthinking it. Once you own the trademark, I don't see any reason for contacting Amazon to say this has changed. If someone else was then going to do something to infringe it and you had to take issue, Amazon would then seek documentation from you to support the claim after the effect.

I have trademarks but they are owned by my company so it is an easy sell as if I sold my company the trademark still belongs to the company rather than me personally.

I think what is important as I stated earlier, the brand registry and the selling accounts are completely different and you don't have to have a selling account to be brand registered therefore whatever happens to your Uncle's account is absolutely irrelevant to the brand registry.
