[Background of the problem]
Through investigation, Zhao Bin believes that Amazon’s global store opening has a good prospect. Amazon has a large enough user base, with a total of 300 million users worldwide. Its market size and transaction volume are firmly ranked first in the field of cross-border e-commerce. Zhao Bin combined his own experience in the foreign trade industry for many years and established his own product brand. He decided to enter the Amazon platform by opening a global store. Although the competition in the Amazon US market is fierce, it can maintain rapid growth. Amazon US is a good choice for new sellers. Therefore, Zhao Bin chose Amazon US to start his cross-border e-commerce business. Next, he started to register an account on Amazon US.

[Operation skills]
Click on the Amazon official website to register for the North American site. Click on the Amazon official website to register for the North American site. During the registration process, all information should be filled in in Pinyin or English.
Fill in your name, email address, and password to create a new user
Fill in your legal name and check the seller agreement
Fill in your address, seller name, and contact information to conduct phone/SMS authentication. The registrant will receive a call from the system and needs to answer the call and enter the 4-digit number displayed on the computer into the mobile phone for verification. If the verification code is the same, the authentication is successful. Note: When the system verification fails, please try to verify in other languages or use SMS verification. If it fails 3 times, you need to wait for 1 hour before re-verification.
Fill in the credit card number, expiration date, cardholder name, and billing address to set up a credit card. You need to use a dual-denomination credit card that can pay in US dollars, such as Visa and MasterCard. Credit cards are mainly used for account settlement. When the seller’s account balance is insufficient, the system deducts monthly fees and other sales expenses from the credit card. You need to check whether the default address is the same as the credit card billing address. The credit card holder and the account registrant may not be the same person. You can use a personal credit card. If you receive a notification that the registration information is invalid, it is generally a problem with the billing address information or an expired credit card. Once the information is filled in correctly, the system will attempt to pre-authorize the credit card to verify the credit limit of the credit card, so the cardholder will receive a pre-authorization reminder from the issuing bank. Credit card information can be changed during account registration and operation. If you do not have a US bank account, you need to register a Payoneer card and select the United States in the bank location column.
Tax review. The US tax review is a self-service review process that will guide you to enter your identity information to confirm whether your account is subject to US taxes. Most of the identity information will be pre-filled from the previously filled information. In order to meet the requirements of the US tax department as efficiently as possible, please make sure to answer all questions and enter all required information during the review process. Chinese sellers must also complete this review process before completing the registration process. The specific process includes: (1) Start tax identity verification; (2) Confirm the non-US identity of the company or individual; (3) Select the nature of the beneficiary; (4) After the information about the account beneficiary in the first part is correct, click “Keep and Continue”; (5) Agree to provide an electronic signature; (6) Exit the survey and end the review.
After completing the above steps, the account registration is complete and you can enter the seller backend for management.
