whenever i stuck dealing with my ecommerce business then only solution i get is your youtube videos. amazon call centre never give you appropriate answer. thank you
If you are a single owner and have a "disregarded entity" it does not mean that you don't have to file forms to IRS. People seem to forget this even when the penalty is $25k.
Dan, sincerely, thank you for taking the time to research about these topics and doing this video. Grateful for this. This is extremely helpful. I hope your channel grows further.
I can’t stop watching your videos!!! You’re such a great teacher.. and Thank you so much for sharing your very useful and informative knowledge ☺️☺️ it’s highly appreciated!!
Hey Panama is not sketchy, people from other countries just abuse the system. Also update, you CAN sell in Europe, I am from Panama and have a sole trader entity and I can sell in Europe, North America, Japan and Australia. Thanks for your videos, they are very helpful.
hello and thank you very much for your videos, I am French and I had to open an LLC since I would like to do wholesale on Amazon in the United States, in this video you talk about banks however I still have a few questions to understand the logic of the banking cycle, could I drop you off? and thank you again for your videos Cyril
As usual always like before watching! I’ve been keep watching your videos lately, and my products going to lunch in amz soon! Thank you so much for making such informative videos always!
Great contents Dan , This is the topic which lot of Amazon sellers do not have clarity on ...Q: I have Amazon seller central account in India, I want to sell USA &CANADA , Is it mandatory to take US LLC? can I configure "sell globally" from the existing account? should I give a US bank account? or existing India bank account is ok?
Your content is top notch my man! I set up my LLC with another agency in Wyoming back in Sep 2020 and haven’t received my company EIN yet!!! Apparently all foreign owned LLC EINs can only be processed manually threw post (can’t be done online) and due to COVID issues IRS has huge backlog and delays with manual EIN processing! Are you aware of these delays for us foreigners and possibly do you have any advice on how to expedite? Thanks once again for your great videos 👍🏻
thank you Dan for another informative video there! so a UK LTD entity is the best option if you plan to sell globally and you are a non-US citizen.. btw, the new setting is very cool ! nice job there! thanks again!
Hi Dan, thanks for the information! One thing is not clear for me. Why I’d want to open a LLC if I can sell as an individual? What are the specifics benefits of setting an entity?
The answer is in the name LLC (Limited Liability Company)! If you sell as individual you are liable with ALL your personal assets if you get to be fined by the government or courts for any reason. When you use LLC you are not individually liable with your personal assets but only with the assets of your LLC. It's that simple.
Exactly what i was surfing and this notification came up. Question: Physical address and utility bill is a must for amazon verification, is there a workaround if we choose US LLC. Thanks for the great content. New colourful desk setup looks awesome.
if i want to sell on amazon outside the usa for example if i want to do retail arbitrage where can i store my inventory ? I’m confused i hope you can explain
Great information, But i have a quick question, can we sell on Amazon USA with chinese based company? and how It is going to deal with taxes? thanks...

Amazon wants to send documents for establishment of compney witu foreign director and were compney physicaly operating address proof.etc.. how to resolve this issue
Hi Dan, could you please do a video on removal orders, my issue is that I had stock enroute to fulfillment centre, but my listing was suspended as I amended the title and included a branded term 🙈, now seller central states I have zero units to remove even though technically they are in the fulfillment centre. I have contacted the “Help” section, but any advice you can offer?? Love your videos by the way, you have taught me so much
Hi Dan, thank you so much for making this video. It answers so many of my questions. One thing that was not so clear to me is that in option 3, my company is non-us company and our bank account is in our country. Do we still have to apply for EIN to be able to sell in Amazon US market?
Thanks for the Video Dan, I have a question : I have a LTD in UK and will start selling in AMAZON US do you see any benefits to create an LLC (protections ... ?
Hello dear,i was wondering if you could give me advice why my listing doesn't show up on amazon? I have my product at amazon storage three month already,seller central says listing is OK and products are buyable but I can not find it with any keyword on search department.
Hi Dan thanks for the videos.. I just have a question. When signing to amazon, should my residential address is the address outside US (my home address in Europe) or should it be the same as my business address in the US? Hope you will reply.. :)
So if I'm going to sell as an individual from a foreign country, do your recommend to still create a single US LLC or just continue as and individual when signing ?
Hi thnak you for explanation. Is it better to make a transferwise bank acc related to the llc in term of sending funds to my country tax in the long run?
Thanks for this video, I am not sure if Amazon is accepting these kind of intermediaries, like WiseTransfer, OFX, etc. do you now if this is an option for new sellers?
Thanks Dan love your Content ✅🌈 I have a question : I am doing the transition next month from sole trader to Limited company and i am based in London. I would like to know what do you think of opening a limited company in ireland seem Way more interesting it make think much easier to sell in Europe would love to know what do you think about it? Thanks 👌
Hello Sir , i really like your videos and these are very very informative. I have a question that do we need to register brand to sell on Amazon? If we ask suppliers to put our own brand name on the product and want to sell on Amazon? Does Amazon allow our listing with new logo and brand name without registration?
Dan , This is the topic which lot of Amazon sellers do not have clarity on .you have answered all questions I was searching for in last 3 months . Thank you so much .. But because as I mentioned I didn't have clear answers to lot of these questions I opened a ltd company in UK to sell in USA and have set up a seller central account to sell in USA market ( option 3) in your video .however I have not started selling yet and probably it will be end of April before I launch my 1st product. So can you please guide me how easy it to now open a LLC and change my seller central to my new LLC may be to option 1 or 2 in your video .please advice. Many thanks in advance
sowjanya you got it! On this, why do you want to open a US LLC? The UK ltd should work perfectly. You can open an LLC though, the service linked in the description, Clemta, is very good at herlping with this. Transferring the seller account can be done but will take a while, you basically get documents from Amazon to transfer ownership of the account. It might honestly be worth just opening a new one if you do the US LLC. But, as before, the UK ltd will work well
Hi Dan, should I pay the "sale state tax" on aliexpress when i pay my manufacturer? (knowing that i live in europe and that I send my stock directly from china to USA). While Im waiting for the amazon warehouse adress, I needed to pay half of my stock order (to start my order production), so I put a delaware state adress to have zero tax and it worked. But now im wondering, when i'll finaly know the amz warehouse adress, if I should pay this tax ? If i do should I pay it to aliexpress or can i pay it when my stock will arrive to USA ? thank you
Thank yo so much Dan! The thing that confuses me though, what do I have to do to declare my earnings to IRS? I have a company in Turkey but everyone says I should have an LLC in the US also
Hi Dan, lekker info and thanks for all the hard work. My question is related to opening a LLC in the US. I am in partnership to open our Amazon shop and we will be creating a business account in the UK and trade in the US market. Do we need to setup a US address to trade there? Do we need to setup a US bank account and LLC? Can we trade in the US with just a UK Business / Bank account?
Hey Dan I had a quick question - I have sent in 133 units into Amazon for my first launch, currently 42 of them are available and 91 are in the reserved status because the rest are being sent to 4 different fulfillment centers & all should become available by/around March 6 (according to seller support). My question is - should I wait to launch on march 6 when all my units are available (which correct me if I am wrong, will show customers that is prime 2 day shipping) or should I just start selling now. I am concerned if I activate the listing now, that I will have a lesser honey moon period because 2 day shipping won't be shown to customers. Thanks!
Hi Dan, quick question. I’m selling using FBM at the moment but want to transfer it to FBA. Is it possible to ship my product to FBA but continue to sell using FBM on the same listing while waiting for it to arrive? What do you recommend?
Dan, I want to thank you for your absolutely amazingly helpful content. And I'd really appreciate it if you could clarify one thing. As I understand services such as OFX, Payoneer and etc while you're opening an account with them, ask you whether you want to register an individual or a business account. Do I understand it right, that before I register my US LLC and open an account with OFX (for example) I have to register my business in my country + open a business bank account with my local bank? Thanks again!
Dmitry you got it! Yes, you need to first open your company as you choose, then you want to register with the company's details for a business account on such a service as OFX
Hi Dan, thanks very much for these video. Please am from Ghana and my country is not in the listed countries to sell on Amazon. Please can you couch me on how to go about it? How can I contact you please
I was a US resident and have a US bank account but just moved to Uk.... : Can I keep the old US address and phone number or do I have to change them both to my UK address and Uk phone number...? Other than that its crystal clear thank you!!!!
Hey Dan! And what if I was registered as an individual and now I want to switch to my LLC. The tax interview doesn't look clear, it looks like even if I change to my one member LLC (registered in the US) , it still shows my personal name, instead of LLC name. Any suggestions?
The only way to change the legal name on Amazon and retake the tax interview is to create a U.S. taxpayer (for U.S. tax purposes, a U.S. person), which is an LLC taxed as a partnership or corporation, for example. Then you would complete the W-9. This, of course, changes your U.S. tax responsibilities and is more advanced. The single-member LLC can work to obtain U.S. insurance for Amazon requirements, but your account will not be updated in the single-member LLC name.
@@ScottJLetourneau If I am a non-US resident and I create a single member LLC to sell on AMZ, how should I register since AMZ says that single member LLCs must be registered as INDIVIDUAL and not BUSINESS. The verification says: 1) TAX CLASSIFICATION: "INDIVIDUAL" or "BUSINESS" 2) FOR US TAX, ARE YOU A US PERSON?: YES or NO? If I say NO, I should complete the W8 and my personal data appears in the account and if I say YES, I should complete the W9 with the company's data. There is a lot of confusion here!
@@gguido If you own the LLC, you will check individually and are NOT a US person. Ultimately, the US SM LLC DE is NOT running the Amazon business because it is not the legal entity on your account. If you want your LLC to be on your Amazon account, you must change the filing to be considered a US taxpayer. That is only step one, which is complex. Then you get into Amazon's verification requirements if they request it, which will involve a business license or utility bill.
A video just on time thanks a lot Dan you the best. Well i successfully opened an llc in the US using different agency than Clemta I opened AmazonSeller account then i am finally stuck in the utility bill and bank account. Amazon didn’t approve me yet to sell. Please Dan any suggestions? Btw i like the new Deco 😁
Hassen, great job, on utility, worst case get in touch with Clemta as EFE says below, they may be able to help with that component. Thank you good sir!
Hi Dan, the value you providing is extremely good. I’ve set up my LLC in the US, bank account and Amazon account are done also. But I do not feel comfortable using a virtual address for the LLC. On Amazon all the addresses (Business address,legal entity address) is a virtual address and I am non-resident. What to do with any suspension issue?
Hi Dan, that was a very useful video. Would I be able to start as an individual and then later when things are progressing well, setup as a business via one of these 3 options? Would i still need to setup an entirely new seller account or would i be allowed to "upgrade" my existing account to a business one?
Jose! Yes, you can often setup as an individual and later upgrade to a pro account on the SAME account. The caveat is where you live. This holds true for those who live in, for example, the USA or UK - it's easier. If you live in far off country or one not on the accepted lists, then you will want to start with a company and pro account :)
Cheers thanks Dan. I’ll be based in Germany by that time which I believe is on both the accepted lists you have referred to in some of your videos. 👌🏻 Appreciate your reply.
Hi Dan, one of my British friend has a British LLC and he is selling in USA. How is it possible? He doesn't have an LLC in the US but even then he is selling in the US market.
UK is on Amazon North America's accepted list Nasir :) You don't have to have a US LLC, the country where your company is based just needs to be on the Amazon accepted list
Hi Dan I have a question when we try open Amazon account as LLC company what do we do about the credit card that Amazon required and we can't get credit cards under company name ? Also the bank statements are going to be with zero transactions ? Please advise and many thanks as always 🙏🏽
It can actually be any approved credit card for Amazon and that is okay for the bank statements as long as the statement matches the Amazon account details (name, address etc)
@@DanRodgers not sure if Amazon will accept and individuals card if the registration is created on a company name, any chance we can make sure of this ?

Cheers thanks Dan. I’ll be based in Germany by that time which I believe is on both the accepted lists you have referred to in some of your videos. 👌🏻 Appreciate your reply.
Hi Dan, one of my British friend has a British LLC and he is selling in USA. How is it possible? He doesn't have an LLC in the US but even then he is selling in the US market.
UK is on Amazon North America's accepted list Nasir :) You don't have to have a US LLC, the country where your company is based just needs to be on the Amazon accepted list
Hi Dan I have a question when we try open Amazon account as LLC company what do we do about the credit card that Amazon required and we can't get credit cards under company name ? Also the bank statements are going to be with zero transactions ? Please advise and many thanks as always 🙏🏽
It can actually be any approved credit card for Amazon and that is okay for the bank statements as long as the statement matches the Amazon account details (name, address etc)
@@DanRodgers not sure if Amazon will accept and individuals card if the registration is created on a company name, any chance we can make sure of this ?
@EFE YAĞIZ ILICA I had spoken to the guy and he didn't mention anything about this to me tho
