Did you do this?

[ShopHive777]

yes …Amazon also charged 39.99usd

[Pepper_Thine_Angus]

Amazon also charged 39.99usd

And? That indicates you choose the professional plain.

If you have submitted the documents and have not heard back THEN YOU MUST WAIT for a reply.

It can take 30-60 days for your documents to be reviewed. You are waiting in line with other new sellers.

But My uk Account instantly approved and ready to listing products

[ABC_23]

UK operates under different laws and different risks. Amazon in the US allows the creation of an account then requires that you verify that you are who you say you are. Since the Amazon US market is notably larger then the UK market it has a notably larger amount of scams going on. The verification process is to protect Amazon and its buyers from scam artists.

If you were not activated within 48 hours then something in your documents was not acceptable to Amazon. The most common issue is your name or address does not match between your documents and your address and name in Seller Central.

This isn’t amazon UK.

I’m sorry these are not the answers you want, but these are just facts.

[The_Sawle_Mill]

Are you using a real credit card? Please note that a debit card, prepaid card, and/or secured credit card are not real credit cards. Just having Visa or Mastercard on it isn’t going to work.

[ShopHive777]

If name and address issue then why they accept application and approved account and charged fee 39.99 amazon … They matched all info then he open account. Now they said additional info mismatched …How is that possible

[ABC_23]

Not going to argue with you. If the information does not match, your account will not be activated.

The verification is a simple pass test that is done by following its instructions. Failure to follow means you will not get the account activated.

I will cover the most common reasons, in no particular order, for your submission to be refused. A lack of response likely means that you are in a really long queue and they have not reached your submission yet. Amazon can take as long as 45 days to respond to your submission. Below this list is a series of links to additional indepth information that a lot of new sellers find useful and will keep your hair loss down to a minimum.

1. You did not send the documents that they actually asked for. Many people send bank account information, landlord contracts, etc, instead of a utility bill that amazon is asking for.
2. Your Name does not match exactly across all the documents. If one includes your middle name then they all need to. If you married and your last name changed and your documents do not match because of this then you need to fix that then resubmit the documents.
3. Your Address does not match across all documents. North may be spelled out in one and another may simply use N instead. This does not match for Amazon.
4. You are using a prepaid or debit card that does not act like a credit card when Amazon places its dollar hold on it to confirm it is valid. A lot of new sellers seem to be confused about the credit card. Amazon accepts debit and prepaid on the buyer side, but not the seller side. They will bill the debit and prepaid cards, but the account will not become active until a proper credit card that can be confirmed as a credit card is entered.
5. You did not send all pages of the document
6. Utilities are in someone else’s name
7. You have not sent one of the utility bills that they specifically asked for. This bears repeating as I see it so often on the forums.
8. Sending screenshots
9. Sending .docx which is not accepted
10. No valid credit card on the account
    https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html/?itemID=G861&ref_=ref_macs_cc_faq
11. When Amazon says ‘Valid credit card on file’ they mean that it has been entered into Seller Central under ‘Account Info’ under ‘Charge Methods’. They are not asking for a credit card statement.
12. If you are an international seller from outside the US, is your credit card open to international charges?
13. Make sure the files are in .pdf, .png, or .gif format. These documents must be authentic and unaltered, and the name and address on the document must match the name and address you provided during registration. If you are receiving electronic copies it is recommended to print them and then rescan them. Send the newly scanned copy.
14. You can submit through the following page. sellercentral.amazon.com/performance/dashboard?ref=ah_em_comp

Account Verification Utility Bill & Credit Card Questions

If your a new seller and are “suspended” just after signing up, here are a few tips: Amazon is not targeting you and so far you have done nothing wrong. This happens to all sellers, so relax! Lets start out with your Credit Card: Amazon is NOT asking you for a credit card bill. “Verify that you have a credit card on file” means simply that. Take a look at your credit card. Does it say debit? Prepaid? Amazon doesn’t like these cards, and while yes, it may charge the $39.99USD sell…
