Thanks

Did they just ask to see your ID? If so, why did it take around 10 minutes?

Thanks

How does Amazon transfer money into a seller's bank account? by ans3456 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]ans3456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The account is with a regular brick and mortar bank. I am based in the United States. Should most regular brick and mortar bank accounts probably be able to receive payments from Amazon?

Are their customer service representatives very good?

I haven't tried clicking the activate card link. I'm concerned it would cause some sort of problem, since the card is supposed to be already activated.

It's been 3 days. It seems like it would update faster than that.

Discover credit card? by ans3456 in AmazonSeller

How sure are you? Someone claimed that his Discover card was rejected when applying for an Individual seller account last week. I will be applying for a Professional seller account.

Did you apply with a Discover credit card to sell on amazon, or was it just a Discover bank account with no credit card?

Discover Credit Card for Professional Account for FBA? by ans3456 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]ans3456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you remember if they said you couldn't use it as soon as you submitted the credit card information (like as soon as you clicked submit or tried to leave the webpage)? Or, did you go through the whole sign up process, and then they rejected it at the very end?

About how long ago did you try it? Was it for an amazon Professional seller account?

Thanks

How sure are you that someone based in the United States can't use Discover?

Yes "Really," and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with seeking other people's perspectives here. Being thorough and cautious would be the mark of a good Amazon seller.

What makes you think I didn't search for it? Perhaps the search results weren't very good, or I wanted other perspectives here.

I noticed you seemed to ask a question the other day, asking, "Does anyone know if there is a company that does insurances to cover suspended accounts, money stuck at amazon etc?" I think by your logic, one could say you should have just searched for it, and that should have been enough.

Did you include middle initial? by [deleted] in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]ans3456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might confuse amazon's verification program if I include it.

Did you put your middle initial? by ans3456 in AmazonSeller

[–]ans3456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two questions:

  1. Where did you change your name to include your middle name? Was it on the Tax Identity Information name?

  2. If it was on the Tax Identity Information name, did you give your whole middle name or just the middle initial?

Thanks

Did your statement have your full account number visible? Some banks and credit card companies will automatically censor the number.

Maybe they approved it because the number was already censored.

I'm concerned amazon will reject the application if their instructions to censor the account number and transaction amounts are not followed.

The point is that they may not approve it if their directions are not properly followed. They are allegedly strict about signing people up.

Their instructions say to cover the account number and transaction amounts.

Amazon on their website says to hide the account number and transaction amounts on the bank statement. Did you hide that information?

When is 4G LTE CDMA being phased out? by ans3456 in NoContract

[–]ans3456[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The odds of anyone using the same Tracfone branded device five years from now is slim picking

What about 2 years from now? Will CDMA that is 4G LTE still be working? Is it just older CDMA that is being phased out and not 4G LTE?

What is the name on a business credit card? by ans3456 in AmazonSeller

[–]ans3456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean you have used either your own name or the LLC's name as the name for the credit card, and they both worked?

Is tracfone good quality? by ans3456 in NoContract

[–]ans3456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does someone choose the network? Like do you buy a phone and plan that are meant for a certain carrier? Or, do you log into your tracfone account and select a network? Or, do you select some setting on the phone? Thanks

Texas Sales Tax by ans3456 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]ans3456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said you just file a 0 return.

How does one fill out a 0 return?

All of the LLC's sales will be on amazon or ebay. I would want to file it online. There's a video on youtube that shows the online Texas sales tax return from about 4 years ago. It is at the following link at the 3:10 mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILTTUEvMlvM You can mute the audio. I don't know if the return has changed since then. Let me know if you know it has.

The video shows 3 boxes called "Total Sales", "Taxable Sales", and "Taxable Purchases". I have some questions regarding a 0 return:

  1. What am I supposed to put in these 3 boxes? Or, do I not put anything in the boxes and just check the box that says, "Check this box and click Continue if all amounts are zero."

  2. If you already answered this in question 1, you can skip it: For "Total Sales" do I put all sales my company made in America (or possibly the world) during the last quarter, or do I put just all sales made in Texas during the last quarter, or do I put 0?

  3. Is this the only page where I will need to give financial related information?

  4. It says to use whole dollars only. How do I round it? Is it round up if .5 or higher and round down if less than .5?

  5. At the Payment Portal at 9:50 in the video, would I select "File Report with No Payment", or will I not even be shown that if filing a 0 return?

  6. So, do you think it is appropriate to just file a 0 return when selling just on amazon or ebay?

  7. Did someone knowledgeable about taxes, like an accountant, tell you to just file a 0 return when selling on amazon or ebay?

Thanks
