How To Transfer Your Amazon Seller Account To Another Person: Your Complete Guide!

Let's face it – transferring the ownership of an Amazon seller account is no walk in the park and comes with its fair share of challenges. 

First, yes, it is legal. Amazon approves these things.

So it is legal. 

But...

Sometimes, somebody pays the money but doesn't get the account. Other times, you cannot figure out how it works. Yep, the possibilities of running into issues concerning the subject are endless! 

The first step in ensuring a smooth and secure process is to request Amazon's approval to change all the account information.

This serves as a record of the change. Any future issues related to the account can be traced back to the approval granted for the changes.  

To continue the process of making changes to an Amazon account, the next step is updating all the information associated with it. 

This includes details such as credit card information, bank account details, addresses, and other personal information. 

In some cases, the account may need to be transferred from an individual to a limited liability company (LLC) or vice versa. This task can be completed either by the account holder or with a third party's help.

Now, I'm pretty sure you must be wondering about the money transfer and how exactly that works. 

There are two ways to go about it; either transfer the full amount and immediately receive access to the account, or send half the price before and the second half once you have received the account.

By the way, I have a FULL guide on how to buy or sell an Amazon account with Omer, we’ve answered many many popular questions there. Watch it below.

But what do you do if you don't trust the person on the other side?

And is it even safe to buy or sell an Amazon seller account?

Generally, it is safe, but if you don't trust the person on the other side...

Well, in that case, it's wise to use an escrow service or the guarantor service for the payment. 

This service acts as a holding account for the funds, only releasing them once the changes to the account have been confirmed and acknowledged. 

While this option may come with an additional fee, it provides an added layer of security and peace of mind during the process. So you can rest assured, it's totally worth it! 

This may lead you to the question: When can we know everything's fine? 

Usually, transferring the account takes a few days because the changes cannot be implemented all at once. 

Yep, changing the details of the bank, credit card, addresses, and legal entity is totally doable, but not at the same time. 

For added security and to avoid any potential issues with an Amazon account, it is advised to use a separate device and IP address when accessing the account. 

This can be accomplished through the use of virtual private servers (VPS) or similar technology.

Additionally, when creating a new account, it is important to use new identity information and avoid using the same credit card and bank details as previously used accounts. 

Suppose the account is being created for a legal entity. 

In that case, using a different entity or having the account registered under someone else's name is recommended. That's a fantastic way to ensure a safe process all along!
