  • In this video, I show you my updated step-by-step instructions on how to create an Amazon seller account as an international seller that doesn’t live in the USA or isn’t a citizen of the USA.
    UPDATE: Hi everyone. Recently, we got hit with what (we believe to be false) copyright claims on our older videos music. Regardless of the legitimacy, we've been going back through those videos & removing the sections with music 🌞 it's a slow process with the editor. We're hoping to restore as many as possible. Thank you 🌞 ecommerce is an ever-changing world, and so we do recommend watching our latest videos regardless. Thank you & we hope you have a wonderful day, wherever you are in the world 🌎

    after you open the account and try ti list the item you get banned or suspended, that is forever, as the laws on amazon are getting more strict, so the big question is, what do you do from there, you need to do a video explaining the rules of amazon as a lot of us are getting banned by strict rules created by previous people that made mistakes, it happened to me, what do I do now? need help fast..

    Hey Sarah! Thanks for the great info!

Then after I entered my credit card details, it said its not valid since the US address doen't match with the billing address of the credit card. I can't put the correct address as my country can't be found on the dropdown list of countries. Hope there's still a way & someone can help us.

      Hi Lisa. It isn't much different than if you live in America, quite honestly! One big difference is that you'll have less sales tax requirements than USA-based sellers which I discussed in a video a couple of weeks ago - which makes it a bonus for you :)

I am on a dependent visa so I am unable to work here till my EAD gets approved. which may take about 6 months or more. In the mean time I would love to sell on amazon but I want to make sure I am doing it legally. Is it possible for me to sell in New Zealand and Australia, basically outside of USA or is there a way I can sell in America legally? would love to get a reply from you! thank you!!

    • @FinaSal
      @FinaSal Před 7 lety +2

      srincrivel1 i believe #2 requirement is for seller to make payment to amazon, whereas payoneer allows amazon to make payment to seller. Hope this clarifies

    • @MegaJemey
      @MegaJemey Před 7 lety +1

      In one of your video you specified that workaround for those who live outside 136 countries approved by amazon can use some services like getting US mailing service and phone number (virtual) from US and use Payoneer for payment and bank account. is this only possible for individual seller account and not for Professional account as you have told?
      Or is it outdated even for the individual seller's account since the video was made in 2015?
      I kinda understand why do we need credit card in the professional account which is an insurance to amazon to get paid every month regardless of your performance and that's why we don't need credit card in the individual account since we are paying per transaction fees (099$). am I correct?s
      the last thing, in the individual account we don't have to fill tax form since we are selling less than 40 unit which makes sense why it's not a problem to get US mailing service and phone number! did answer my questions?m

    Hi Sarah, Ted, thanks for this video. I've gone ahead to follow your ebook and created my Amazon Seller Pro Account. It was not as smooth sailing as your video, as I have been asked for extra documentations such as:
    1) A copy of a government provided national ID. Well, Australia does NOT have national IDs?! I just provided a copy of my driver's license. Hopefully it will be accepted.
    2)Bank Statement showing the same address I provided and same address displayed on the national ID. Once again, Australian government do not provide national ID.
    3) Email address but I already provided an email address.
    4) Phone number but I already provided my mobile number.
    I now have to wait for my application to be approved in about a week's time which will probably eat away into the free 30 days.

      Thank you for the update. Yes, it changed since I created this video unfortunately. It shouldn't eat into your 30 days though since you won't actually have an account until it's been approved :) in the meantime I recommend looking for items so that you're ready to go once it's approved!

      Thanks for the reply. Amazon has replied in just hours! My quarterly bank statement was not accepted coz it is not dated inside 60 days?! How weird, seeing it is the latest Bank Statement... Will have to see if I can generate a monthly one or something... will ask them what other document I can provide.

    Same here I cannot find the free 30 days trial for Amazon. Please check if this option is still available. Thanks. Like the videos you are creating keep it up :-)

    Hello Sarah, Can you make a video on how to open an Amazon China Seller account and start selling on Amazon China Marketplace?

    Hi, cheers for the video. I'm an Australian living abroad and have been very interested in starting up, but what should I put down as my address when registering, and can I change it in the future? Again thanks
