Multiply Amazon Seller Account - UK Market
Does anyone know for sure if 2 account is legally allowed to operate on Amazon UK market? Same director different business entity, different email, different phone number different address.
It is tricky as I see loads of people getting section 3 deactivations due to multiply account regulation yet I was told by amazon itself on chat it is fine as long as gets approved through KYC. Well we know that they like sending weather reports for logical questions so I am really hesitating to go ahead or not with 2nd account on new business.
I dont want to end up having both account deactivated without any reason...
Any replies or ideas or comments Wellcome :)

You can have multiple accounts if you have a 'legitimiate business need' for doing so.
Examples would include maintaining separate accounts to sell different brands or if you are selling products manufactured by two separate companies.
HOWEVER, if there is a violation that causes one account to be suspended or closed - it can have an effect on all other accounts that are linked.

Hello! @Seller_xekO51ZguoaBv
Thank you for raising this question.
I wanted to confirm what @Seller_ZJhFeE3tNKzfh mentioned is accurate. Adding the link to the policy here.
Only maintain one Seller Central account for each region in which you sell, unless you have a legitimate business need to open a second account and all of your accounts are in good standing. Examples of a legitimate business justification include:
- You own multiple brands and maintain separate businesses for each
- You manufacture products for two distinct and separate companies
- You are recruited for an Amazon programme that requires separate accounts
Regards,
Roberto
