Vova: Hey, so how exactly does this whole process of transferring an Amazon seller account or business work?

Omer: That's a great question, Vova.

I understand why people might be nervous.

After all, your Amazon seller account has a lot of important information attached to it, like your bank account details, credit cards, tax info, even your home address.

It's completely natural to be cautious about making any changes!

The key here is to follow Amazon's rules closely.

To ensure a smooth transfer and stay within Amazon's guidelines, we actually reach out to them beforehand and ask for their permission to make the changes.

This creates a paper trail – a record stored right in your account.

So, even if something unexpected pops up down the line, say a year or two from now, there's a clear history documented in those case logs.

Amazon keeps everything on file, making it easy to check and verify everything if needed.

Once we have the green light from Amazon, we can begin updating the new information for the account.

Here's the important part: we take things slowly and carefully.

We only make one change at a time, and then we double-check that the update has gone through smoothly in the account.

This might seem overly cautious, but there's a good reason for it.

Sometimes, Amazon's security system might see a flurry of changes as a red flag, almost like someone is trying to break into your account.

So, by taking things step-by-step and waiting for each update to confirm, we avoid any unnecessary hiccups or delays caused by Amazon needing to verify activity.

Now, if you're not familiar with this process or feel uneasy about tackling it yourself, we strongly recommend getting help from a professional.

There's no reason to risk your account's safety, and you'll want the transfer to go as smoothly as possible.

Typically, the whole process takes a few days to complete.

It's important to note that things have gotten a bit more complex recently.

A new law called the Inform Act, which came into effect a few months ago, has added some extra steps to the Amazon account transfer process.

Basically, Amazon requires more information now to ensure everything is done correctly.

For instance, simply adding a new bank account isn't enough anymore.

You'll need to provide an actual bank statement to verify the information.

These extra requirements added by the Inform Act definitely make the process a little more involved and take some additional time.

But don't worry, it's absolutely still possible to transfer accounts successfully.

Our team has completed dozens of transfers since the new law came into effect, and all of them have gone through without a hitch.

By the way, we've heard from other sellers that they are facing a few more hurdles and experiencing slightly longer wait times compared to before.

Vova: Absolutely, Omer.

This sounds like a process where doing things correctly the first time is crucial.

Any mistakes or hiccups could lead to delays and headaches down the line.

Oh, and speaking of getting started the right way, I've actually put together a really detailed video tutorial with Omer and Shai all about buying and selling Amazon seller accounts and businesses.

It goes into a lot more depth than we can cover here, so if you're interested in that side of things, definitely check it out!

Omer, your experience is invaluable, especially considering the successful transfers you've completed under the new Inform Act regulations.

Honestly, tackling this alone would feel overwhelming for me.

I wouldn't even know where to begin!

Sure, you could probably find someone online, but entrusting this process to professionals with a proven track record just makes so much sense.

Wrapping Up…

So, if you're thinking of transferring your Amazon seller account, do it right, the first time!

In this conversation with Omer, we talked about the steps involved in safely and legally transferring your Amazon seller account to another person.

Here are the key takeaways:

1. Get Amazon's Permission First: Always play by the rules! Avoid any issues by asking Amazon for permission to make changes to your account before you start the transfer process. This creates a clear record for future reference.

2. Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Updating information on your account should be a gradual process. Make one change at a time and confirm it's reflected correctly before moving on. This helps avoid triggering Amazon's security system.

3. Consider Professional Help: Transferring an account can be complex, especially with the new Inform Act. If you're not comfortable navigating the process yourself, consider getting help from a professional with experience in handling these transfers under the latest regulations.

While the Inform Act has added some extra steps, like providing bank statements for verification, transferring your account is still possible.

If you're not comfortable tackling this yourself, don't hesitate to seek help from a professional.

Their experience can save you time, frustration, and potentially avoid any problems with Amazon.

Good luck.
