Hey Amazon Sellers! 👋

Let's talk about card verification - a crucial but sometimes tricky part of your selling journey. While it usually takes just a couple of minutes, sometimes it can stretch up to 48 hours depending on your bank and card network.

What to Expect During Verification 🔍

You might get redirected to your bank's website for a security check - totally normal! Think of it as your bank's virtual bouncer making sure everything's legit.

Warning Signs to Watch For ⚠️

If your card verification fails, you'll spot:

• A red banner in your seller account
• An email notification in your inbox
• Restrictions on managing listings, inventory, and shipments
• A pause on receiving your money from Amazon

Troubleshooting Tips 🛠️

• If verification isn't going smoothly, double-check these common fixes:
• Make sure the name matches exactly (include middle name or initial as how it is printed on your card)
• Enter the verification code, not the phone number (it happens to the best of us)
• Verify your Account Info is current and correct (make sure your address matches along with your postal/zip code)

Important Reminders 📝

Sometimes even previously verified cards can hit a snag if:

• Your card is approaching expiration or expired
• Your billing address changed or name changed
• Your bank added new restrictions or extra layer of security

Next Steps If You're Stuck 🤔

• Try a different card if you have one
• Ring up your bank - they're usually super helpful
• Visit your local branch for in-person assistance
