Is it a risk (and if how big) for related accounts to have the same employee/ person as authorized user on two otherwise fully independent (different llc, credit, bank, address, phone etc.) accounts? Meaning that if one of the accounts gets suspended for some reason, the other will get suspended too because they have the same authorised user which creates a relation between them? (also asking for European accounts) Many thanks for this incredibly valuable video!!
@@MyAmazonGuyHi Steve, regarding your point about IP address, I have my own Amazon account; recently, my friend who tried out selling on Amazon wanted to let me have his account (his account is a 2018 seller account which was registered with an American corporation) I planned to change my friend's legal entity to an LLC, and, therefore having 2 seller accounts. The thing is, the other day, I cavalierly forgot to turn on the VPN when logging in,my ideal set up would be to have two unconnected, separate accounts, so if one gets deactivated, it wouldn't affect the second account. Have I made that connection between the two accounts forever by logging in from the same IP address once?
If I have an account that is banned from selling a certain brand because we used to do OA, is it okay to open a new account with all different info to get ungated in the brand again?

Hello I am a VA and I am working for different amazon stores. In one store I am doing their OA business, another one I am doing their PPC etc, so I have to login to multiple accounts from the same pc. Is it a problem for Amazon policy and they can suspend accounts thinking I have multiple Amazon seller accounts?
If one account lists and item, never sends in inventory(nor ever adds any MF stock), never makes a sale, just purely creates a listing or adds existing listing to inventory. Then in the future the second account lists and sells that same product. Will this cause a link of the two accounts selling the same products? (both accounts are all separate info and on different VPS so no other link)
Question?!? (also WOW exactly what I was looking for!! Subscribed! thanks!) I'm trying to set up a second account with my wife's credentials. I'm creating an LLC that will have her and my name on it. Eventually amazon will ask for information about me being a second owner on the LLC. My question is will that get my primary store (which is under my personal name and credentials) suspended? 😬 Everything on my wife's account will be different (phone number, email, property address, etc.) except for the fact that my name and ID will be associated with the LLC. Any help is much appreciated!
@@MyAmazonGuy Well the video doesn’t fully address my question which is why I was asking. So you’re saying that Amazon won’t have an issue that I have my own store in my personal name as well as a second store in an LLC’s name where I’m a majority owner?
Hey Steven, Do I need to close an ASIN in one account before I can list it in another account? Also if I close the ASIN will the reviews and other information get deleted?
No, you don't need to close an ASIN in one account before listing it in another. The ASIN and its associated reviews/information will remain, even if you close it in your account. Other sellers can still list the same ASIN in their accounts. It's important to note that if you plan to list the same ASIN across multiple accounts that you manage, you must comply with Amazon's policies regarding multiple accounts. Ensure that each account has a unique product range or obtain explicit permission from Amazon to list overlapping products. This is crucial to avoid potential policy violations which could result in account suspension or other penalties. Always operate within Amazon's guidelines to maintain a healthy selling environment on the platform.
Can I delete the ASIN in the first account and then list it in another? Will deleting the ASIN in the first account delete all the reviews, listing details, images of the ASIN?
Hello Steven, So I got that you need different LLCs and banking accounts and It is a good idea to have different addresses if possible. But what about phone numbers. Do you need one for each account?
If the task is to register 10 Amazon accounts under 10 different LLCs which in turn are under a Holding Company (one owner of all 10 LLCs and HC), who should be or could be the contact person during registration? Every time you register a new Amazon account under an LLC, Amazon asks to specify a contact person. It would be very convenient to use one's own name and ID for all 10 accounts, but the rest of the data is different (LLC, charge method, deposit method, business address, EIN). Thanks
Hi Steve. I'm looking to opening a second account which will have different contact names, address and phone number than the one I'm currently operating. Can I use both accounts under the same computer/wifi if I have already have logged under the *admin* account on my first account?
Hi Steven, my account was disabled in Mexico marketplace (USA marketplace i could continue to use) after it was linked to another amazon account. Why did Amazon disable the mexico marketplace if you say that having mulitple accounts is permitted? Would really appreciate your insight. I will continue watching more of your videos now.
PS. some more context: i was helping the second amazon account with their advertising and probably amazon recognized the same computer ip address. we were not sharing anything else but the ip address.
Hey Steven, I am an authoirzed user of a seller central account, but I did not create or own the SC account. Can i be an invited user on other seller central accounts as well and help out other SC accounts? Is this risky?
Yes, as an authorized user of a Seller Central account, you can be invited to other Seller Central accounts and help manage them. Being an invited user allows you to access and perform tasks on behalf of the account owner, such as managing listings, inventory, and orders. However, it is important to note that being an authorized user on multiple Seller Central accounts does come with some risks. You will have access to sensitive information and the ability to make changes to the account. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that you are working with trustworthy individuals and have a clear agreement or understanding of your responsibilities and limitations. It is recommended to have proper documentation and communication in place to protect both parties involved. Additionally, it's important to keep in mind that each account should have its own unique login credentials to maintain security and accountability.
@@MyAmazonGuy thanks for the reply. How do you guys as an agency log into so many other seller accounts and not risk your main seller account getting banned, as well as the accounts you guys are granted permissions to and run their ppc campaigns?
Hi Steve thanks for this video - Question if you have the holding company and 3 separate LLCs do the LLCs have to have different owners names (not company) but person names? Thanks I’m advance
Hi, a client of mine wants to launch a second product , but the product he is launching is almost similar to the same one he is currently selling(little changes in design).The current product he is selling is in partnership with a few people, but the new product will be solely his. My question is what should be the strategy to do this , should he make a new seller central account or continue on his current one? Thanks
Hello Steven, I follow you on LinkedIn and find your info very valuable. How do you manage more than one account as a service provider? Is it legal for agencies to manage different accounts with one email address? Best, Salih
Hey Steven good stuff. Question: if you are having a holding company structure do you need a different registered address for all LLC or you can have the same address as holding company used for all LLC?
You can have the same address across different Amazon accounts, but if you have a second address you can use, I would go for that to make each account seem like more of a separate real business. Like Steven said, you need to have a different legal entity name, credit card, and bank account for each Amazon account.
Hi Steven, some sellers are suggesting opening the second company in someone else's name, and using VDS server... is this method compliant? As I've seen other sellers presenting it as a black hat without any explanation. They say that the advantage of this method is if one account gets suspended, Amazon will not link it to the second one and suspend that one too. Thank you
You would need a full business structure and the use of that persons EIN and social. This is Grey area if you’re doing it for the sole reason of setting up another account and this person has not applied use for the business
@@MyAmazonGuy Great! If I create a master holding and two children companies ( one for each seller account) can they have the same business address? Everything else will be new, bank acount, credit card, email , phone etc. Or is it better to use a postbox for one of the accounts?
Does IP address or different computers matter anymore? I've got three accounts and still use a VPN and different computers for it - beginning to think it really doesn't matter anymore. But, a confirmation from you would be reassurring!
I do not fully understand the part "the holding company is never given to Amazon" at 04:30 Let's say I want to buy a brand so my holding company acquires the seller's LLC. The new owner of the LLC is XYZ Holding and now: a) is XYZ Holding the new beneficial owner? b) are shareholders of XYZ Holding the new beneficial owners? I either case, I now have to update the seller central info to reflect this, correct? c) is this method safe if XYZ Holding has 4 shareholders at 25% each?
@@MyAmazonGuy Thanks for the reply steven, appreciate it! So for a new acquisition: - person X opens a new LLC Y under their HC, appointing themselves as director - LLC Y acquires the assets (account etc.) from the seller - account is transfered to LLC Y - Person X is disclosed to Amazon as the beneficial owner as they are the director And the HC never comes up afa Amazon is concerned
Thanks for the great video! I have a a quick question I hope you can help me with. I currently have an amazon seller account tied to my SSN, personal checking account, email, credit card and home address. I also have an LLC with a EIN, different email, credit card, checking account, but the same address. I am looking to open a new account under this LLC. I do, however, have a couple things on my personal account right now that may tie me back. Such as my seller display name is currently my LLC name. My business insurance has my LLC name as well, along with an invoice I sent to get ungated in a brand. Am I safe to change my display name and go ahead and create a new account using the LLC information?
Hi Steve. Question. I set up an amazing selling account in the UK about 1 year ago. Doing well! 10k revenue per month.. Registered my company at my Fathers House. I have a new female girlfriend. We’ve moved in together She’s set up LTD Company and the registered address is our new home (not my fathers house) She’s set up a selling account and she’s going to start selling. Would this effect my main account and result in suspension? Because we are on the same IP address or anything? And same WiFi? The company addresses are different, different emails different numbers. As far as Amazon would be aware they have no idea we are even in a relationship. Im just nervous. Please let me know! Thanks
@@MyAmazonGuy If yes does this post a threat when creating multiple with same laptop? btw i am doing OA and will make sure asins do not match on both accounts. Should i proceed?
You want to say that having account X registered back in 2016 for an individual and his passport data, after which the account was transferred to an LLC, now you can register a new account Y for the same passport data (as a contact person) to a new LLC, and in this case, will I not get the suspension of X and Y accounts? This sounds unlikely because Amazon will link the accounts by the contact person even if the accounts are registered to the LLC as a legal entity. @MyAmazonGuy.
I had a suspended account in amazon before starting selling 7-8 months old. So that i have opened a new account with llc but the primary information matched with the old amazon account owner name and address but the business address is different. Is there any risk? Also can you suggest me a dedicated ip provider which is best for amazon seller account or can i use my original ip which is used to open that suspended accout?
Yes. All new accounts should have a completely seperate business, contact names, address, email, bank info, and credit info. You run a high risk for suspension
You mean like you have new LLC but owner of that LLC is same as old account ? So that triggered suspension ?? Because usually Most people operate same way.
Hi Steven !! That's what i'm looking for. I've a question : What if primary owner is same for both entity ? For example, BM LLC & JK PVT LTD -> These are separate entity but primary owner is the same. So when we open new amazon account then BM LLC has a different address, different phone number, different bank account, different credit card but same primary owner information like his address ( Amazon asks for this during registration ). So i'm assuming it's same for most people. will it have any impact on opening 2nd amazon account ?
