I am a new seller trying to reactivate my old account
hey I am currently trying to reactivate my old account. I used to sell used books but I have stopped for some time. I am now trying to do retail arbitrage but I have gotten the email saying I must reactivate my account. When I reactivate it asks me what business type am I going to be using. It's giving me the option of publicly owned, publicly listed listed or state owned. I was wondering which one I would have to choose for this business model since there is no "nope, I'm an individual" option

Yeh. That is correct. I am a boring old, old fashioned grandpa.

STOP-retail or online arbitrage is no longer an accepted business plan/practice on Amazon.

Welcome back, but do spend some quality time studying the seller forums and Amazon's very own "Seller University."
Much has changed her over the past several months. RA used to work, but it does not work now, and could be the fastest way to get your account shut down, with the loss of any merchandise in FBA and all funds in your account.

" I am now trying to do retail arbitrage"
I'll be a bit more blunt on this --
Since you have failed to study Seller U or read any of the dozens of posts by sellers suspended for doing RA, just start preparing your 'Please help with my Section 3 suspension' letter NOW.
It will save you the time when it arrives shortly after you sell your first item and have a RECEIPT instead of the required INVOICES.

That is an oxymoron.
