April 19th news, Recently, according to feedback from some sellers, KYC Information was seen in the settings of the background of the US site - account information. When I tried to click to open, the details in it were not online yet. Therefore, Amazon's US site has only added this entry, but it does not rule out that after the subsequent Amazon testing phase is over, KYC verification will be activated for the qualified accounts. Therefore, it is still necessary to remind all sellers to make full preparations in advance.
KYC review is when a certain sales quota is reached, the account of the seller who sells or continues to sell on Amazon's European website and receives transaction income will automatically trigger the review. The seller needs to provide Amazon with information about his or her business and submit the information truthfully before he or she can continue to sell. That is, Seller Qualification Review (KYC). Compared with the second review of on US website accounts, KYC review is more stringent. If the account is reviewed in one time, the account may be greatly affected.
