Transfer your Selling on Amazon account to the intended legal entity by self-service in Seller Central not working
Hi everyone I wanted to change my account from sole trader to ltd company so I provided the following documents to amazon:
Certificate of incorporation and share holder file (I do no have any share holders)
The buisness and contact in identity information shows:
FIRST JOIN****
Sole Proprietor
“FIRST JOIN****” is ltd company and this has changed from sole trader name “startproducts”
But the identity informatin is saying “Your information is being verified.
and that this will take upto 10 days”. which is taking more than 10 days.
And the verification team has sent me the following email:

were you actually verified as a sole trader ?
did amazon request your UTR confirmation letter as if it shows your storename rather than your own name under sole proprietor, you won’t have got through verification

how long has it been bearing in mind they most likely mean 10 working days and we’ve had easter recently ?

I’ll be honest and say you’ve got loads of issues
You entered an insurance number instead of UTR
Your sole trader name is your storename instead of your real name according to the notification from amazon
And now you say you aren’t even registered as a ST
I’m not sure how you’ll get through verification in the first place with these 2 bits of incorrect information , let alone transfer it to your ltd
My honest advice would be to not give up the day job.
Surely a barrister makes more money than most amazon sellers - the ones that I know do
