Individual Seller
Hi, I am a new seller and sold a few things.
I received an email from Amazon saying that I incorrectly selected the “individual” legal entity when registered. However, I am private individual seller who sells personal items I no longer need. Amazon have temporarily deactivated my selling account. As I have shipped the items already. Will I get the payment for the items for Amazon?
Many thanks

Have you sold a lot? I think they are saying your activity is more like a business than an individual.

Did you sell these items as ‘New’.
Strictly speaking, if they are your own personal items, even if unused, they should be listed as ‘Like New’.
Amazon will assume if you are selling new items that you have purchased them to sell on for profit, and if that is the case you are classed as a business.

I have listed around 8-9 items. they are single one-off items.
I have received this email from Amazon:
Dear Seller,
Thank you for your email.
To continue with your account verification, please update your legal entity by following the instructions below.

Use the following information to select the correct legal entity:

I have explained to Amazon a couple of times by replying to the email.
I keep receiving the same email from Amazon with the same questions.
Seems like it might be not possible to ‘undo’ as I sold the few items as ‘new’ instead of 'like new" like Peter said.
My question is, if I won’t be able to reactivate my seller account, does it mean I won’t receive my payment for the items I have already shipped to the buyers?
