I wanted to start selling on the German Amazon... private label items.
When I signed up for US seller central account, I was able to set up my account and list the products under a brand name (as opposed to selling as an individual with my own name).
I wanted to do the same on German Seller central, but here the process seems to be a bit different.
The very first fields I have to fill in are questions about my business entity - from the legal perspective.
(screenshot attached)
Obviously, I don't have a business set up yet, so this is not possible for me.
Could anybody explain to me, why there is such a difference in the requirements for listing a product on the US / UK Amazon and the German Amazon ? Is it simply because of the country's laws ?
Any of you guys selling on (most likely drop-shipping) in more than one country ?
What would be the best way for me to start selling, without going through the tedious (and costly) process of registering a business ?
Of course, only as a temporary solution, for the initial phase - if there proves to be a high demand for the product, then I am going to set up a proper business entity as well. Should I start small and sell under my own name, just to get the initial product validation ?
Thanks!
