Hello Sellers
I need urgent advice regarding my Amazon seller account. I initially opened my account as an individual seller while residing in Oman, so my business location and residential address were set to Oman. Later, when Amazon required identity verification, I provided my documents, but during the process, I updated my business type to a privately owned business. Since my business is a US-based LLC. but the business location remained locked as Oman, and Amazon does not allow business country changes after registration.
Now, Amazon is requesting a business license from Oman, which I do not have because my business is registered in the USA. I contacted support multiple times, but they confirmed that the business location cannot be changed.
My Questions:
1. If I permanently close this seller account, will I be allowed to open a new seller account using the same name, passport, bank statement, and US business details (EIN, business address, etc.)?
2. Do I need to wait for a specific period after closing my account before registering a new one?
3. Are there any important steps I should take before closing the account to avoid any issues when creating a new one?
I want to ensure I follow Amazon’s policies correctly before making any decision. If anyone has experienced a similar situation or has insights, please share your advice.
Thanks in advance!
