Linked Accounts - Are You Allowed to Have More Than One Seller Account on Amazon?
In this episode of the e-Comply Podcast, we delve into the complex world of Amazon seller accounts. We debunk the common misconception that having multiple seller accounts is prohibited. In fact, Amazon does allow multiple accounts, but they must be justifiable from a business perspective and compliant with Amazon's policies. We discuss examples of legitimate reasons for having multiple accounts, such as managing different brands or product categories, or dealing with distinct business structures. However, circumventing Amazon's rules, such as creating a new account due to suspension or selling banned products, is strictly forbidden.
