[Operational skills]
1. Click on the official Amazon website to register for the North American site.
Click on the official Amazon website to register for the North American site. During the registration process, all information should be filled in in Pinyin or English.
2. Fill in your name, email address, and password to create a new user.
3. Fill in your legal name and check the seller agreement.
4. Fill in your address, seller name, and contact information to conduct phone/SMS authentication.
The registrant will receive a call from the system. You need to pick up the phone 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 you fail three times, you need to wait for 1 hour before re-verification.
5. Fill in the credit card number, expiration date, cardholder name, billing address, and set up the credit card.
You need to use a dual-currency credit card that can pay in US dollars, such as Visa card and Master card. 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. After the information is filled in correctly, the system will try 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 then select the United States in the bank location column.
6. Tax audit.
The US tax audit is a self-service audit 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 audit process. Chinese sellers must also complete this audit process before they can complete 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 accurate, click “Save and Continue”;
(5) Agree to provide an electronic signature;
(6) Exit the investigation and end the audit.
After completing the above steps, the account registration is complete and you can enter the seller backend to manage it.
