Hi,
I am a UK-registered seller seeking guidance regarding an ongoing identity verification issue on my Seller Central account.
Account details (summary):
• Marketplace: UK only
• VAT registered: Yes
• Business: UK Limited Company
• Identity document: Passport recently renewed (same issuing country as previous passport)
Issue Summary:
1. My previous passport expired on 28/01/2026.
2. I uploaded my renewed passport in Seller Central under Business Information.
3. Shortly after the update, I received a notification stating that my “Selling on Amazon payment account could not be opened.”
4. Since then, I have received multiple emails inviting me to complete virtual identity verification (including an instant verification invitation).
5. However, every verification link redirects to the following message:
“We apologise for the inconvenience. It seems that you may not be eligible to participate in the virtual identity verification at this time.”
Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken:
• Accessed the link from the latest performance notification
• Used sellercentral.amazon.co.uk (registered marketplace)
• Tried multiple browsers
• Cleared cache and cookies
• Changed broadband connection
• Attempted manual URL path after login
The issue persists in all cases.
Current Situation:
• Seller account remains deactivated
• Payment account shows verification failure
• System continues to send identity verification invitations
• Verification node appears inaccessible
My Question here:
Has any seller experienced a similar situation where:
• Payment account was rejected after ID update, and
• The virtual identity verification link repeatedly showed “not eligible” despite invitations being sent?
If a moderator is able to review, could you please confirm whether this may be related to a backend eligibility or KYC flag that requires manual reset by the Payments/Compliance team?
I am fully prepared to provide any additional documentation required (passport, incorporation certificate, bank statement, VAT registration, etc.) and complete verification immediately.
Thank you in advance for any guidance or assistance.
