If you make any mistakes during the process, your account might not get approved or, even worse, you could end up blacklisted. Here, I\u2019ll walk you through each step to set up your Amazon seller account properly, avoid common pitfalls, and get approved in under 48 hours!<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: Choose Your Amazon Seller Plan<\/p>\n<p>Before signing up, you need to choose between Amazon\u2019s two seller plans:<\/p>\n<pre><code>1.\tIndividual Plan - No monthly fee, but a $0.99 fee per item sold.\n2.\tProfessional Plan - $39.99 monthly fee with access to advanced features like PPC advertising, promotions, and eligibility for the Buy Box.\n\nTip: If you\u2019re just getting started and don\u2019t plan to sell right away, consider the Professional Plan. Amazon will charge the $39.99 when you sign up, but won\u2019t bill you again until you start making sales.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Plan\tCost\tFeatures\nIndividual\tNo monthly fee\t$0.99 fee per sale; limited features.\nProfessional\t$39.99\/month\tNo $0.99 sale fee, plus access to all tools.<\/p>\n<p>To sign up:<\/p>\n<pre><code>\u2022\tProfessional Plan: Click on the \u201cSign Up\u201d button at the top.\n\u2022\tIndividual Plan: Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the link that says \u201cSign up to become an individual seller.\u201d\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Step 2: Decide on Your Account Type<\/p>\n<p>When creating your account, it\u2019s best to use a separate email from your personal Amazon buyer account. This keeps your personal purchases and business transactions separate, which simplifies bookkeeping.<\/p>\n<pre><code>Pro Tip: Avoid using free email providers like Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo. Instead, create an email using your own business domain.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>If you need a new account, click on \u201cCreate Your New Account,\u201d enter your details, and verify your email using the OTP that Amazon sends.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Gather Required Documents<\/p>\n<p>Amazon requires specific documents to verify your identity and bank details. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n<pre><code>\u2022\tValid Government-issued ID (passport or driver\u2019s license)\n\u2022\tBank statement or credit card statement from the last 180 days\n\u2022\tChargeable credit\/debit card (Visa or MasterCard)\n\u2022\tMobile phone (for verification)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Ensure that all details on these documents match the information you enter during registration! Mismatches are a common reason for application delays or rejections.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Enter Your Business Information<\/p>\n<p>On this page, enter your business details.<\/p>\n<pre><code>\u2022\tBusiness Location: Choose the country where your business is registered (if you don\u2019t have a business, select your country of residence).\n\u2022\tBusiness Type: If you registered a business (sole proprietorship, LLC, etc.), select \u201cPrivately Owned.\u201d Otherwise, select \u201cNone, I am an individual.\u201d\n\u2022\tBusiness Name: Enter the exact legal name of your business, if registered. If you\u2019re selling as an individual, use your full legal name.\n\nNote: Choosing \u201cIndividual\u201d here doesn\u2019t mean you have to choose the Individual Seller Plan.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Click on \u201cI confirm this information is correct,\u201d then \u201cAgree and Continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Enter Personal Information<\/p>\n<p>This step is critical\u2014Amazon will use this information to verify your identity. Enter your:<\/p>\n<pre><code>\u2022\tFull Legal Name\n\u2022\tDate of Birth\n\u2022\tCountry of Citizenship\n\u2022\tResidential Address\n\u2022\tPhone Number (you\u2019ll need to verify it)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Pro Tip: Use your mobile number to simplify future verification steps.<\/p>\n<p>Step 6: Verify Your Identity<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be asked to upload a valid ID. This is where many beginners get stuck, so pay close attention to the guidelines:<\/p>\n<pre><code>1.\tType of ID: Choose either passport, national ID, or driver\u2019s license.\n2.\tMake sure the ID is valid: Expired IDs will be rejected.\n3.\tMatch the name exactly: The name on your ID must match the name you entered in Step 5.\n4.\tUpload both front and back (if applicable) in high-resolution color.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Acceptable ID Formats:<\/p>\n<pre><code>\u2022\tPDF, JPG, or PNG\n\u2022\tMaximum 50MB\n\u2022\tIn color, unobstructed, and clearly visible\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve uploaded your ID, Amazon will verify your details. This usually takes less than two business days.<\/p>\n<p>Step 7: Enter Bank and Payment Information<\/p>\n<p>Now, enter your bank and credit card details:<\/p>\n<pre><code>1.\tBank Details: Enter your bank\u2019s name, routing number, and account number.\n2.\tCredit\/Debit Card: Only use a credit or debit card with a Visa or MasterCard logo.\n\nTip: If you don\u2019t have a compatible card, sign up for a virtual card through Wise.com. Wise is an Amazon-approved partner for payment processing.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Step 8: Set Up Your Store Details<\/p>\n<p>In this step, create your Amazon store name and provide any additional details about your products.<\/p>\n<pre><code>\u2022\tStore Name: Ideally, this should match your business name.\n\u2022\tUPC Codes: Choose \u201cYes\u201d if you have UPC barcodes for your products.\n\u2022\tBrand Ownership: Select \u201cYes\u201d if you plan to sell private label products under your own brand.\n\nPro Tip: Always buy official GS1 UPC codes directly from GS1 to avoid listing issues.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Step 9: Upload Documents for Verification<\/p>\n<p>Now, you\u2019ll need to upload documents to verify your address and identity. Here\u2019s what Amazon requires:<\/p>\n<pre><code>\u2022\tBank\/Credit Card Statement: Must be a recent statement (within the last 180 days) and must display:\n\u2022\tBank or card issuer\u2019s name\n\u2022\tYour full name and address\n\u2022\tColor Scans Only: Amazon rejects black-and-white copies.\n\u2022\tHigh Quality, Unobstructed: Ensure the document is clear, with no cutoff sections or blurry areas.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Amazon will review your documents and, if approved, move forward with the verification process.<\/p>\n<p>Step 10: Identity Verification<\/p>\n<p>For this final step, you\u2019ll either upload a selfie or schedule a video call with an Amazon representative:<\/p>\n<pre><code>\u2022\tSelfie: Amazon will use AI to match your selfie with the ID you provided.\n\u2022\tVideo Call: You\u2019ll receive a link to join a video call with an Amazon rep to verify your identity.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Step 11: Address Verification (Mail Verification)<\/p>\n<p>Once your initial verification is complete, Amazon may send a postcard to your address with a verification code. Enter this code on your Amazon account to finalize your address verification.<\/p>\n<pre><code>Note: This can take a few weeks to arrive, so be patient!\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Step 12: Additional Tips to Avoid Common Mistakes<\/p>\n<p>Mistake\tSolution\nUsing a free email address\tUse a business email with a domain you own for faster approval.\nIncorrect bank\/account details\tMake sure your name and address match across all accounts.\nDocument errors\tEnsure documents are in color, high resolution, and unobstructed.<\/p>\n<p>Final Step: Start Selling!<\/p>\n<p>Once your account is verified, you can start listing and selling products. Remember that if you change any major account details\u2014like your bank account or business type\u2014Amazon may re-initiate the verification process.<\/p>\n<p>Setting up an Amazon Seller account can be complex, but by following these steps, you\u2019ll be well on your way to getting approved in no time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":218,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/maxresdefault-4.webp","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217\/revisions\/219"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
