Summary
Changing your deposit method is usually flagged as a potential fraud risk by Amazon, so you might need to undergo additional seller verification.
Suggestions
Here are some suggestions to help you steer clear of potential issues:
Reach out to Amazon seller support and seller performance in advance to notify them of the upcoming change. This may prompt upfront verification and prevent complications.
Ensure that the name on both your Amazon seller account and Parker account match exactly. Discrepancies in spelling or the inclusion of middle names could lead to verification problems.
Refrain from altering your deposit method within two days of the conclusion of your Amazon statement period
Avoid switching your deposit method using a mobile browser.
Steps
You can also follow these specific steps:
Login to Seller Central > Navigate to Help > select Get Support > choose Selling on Amazon.
Explain your intention to switch your deposit method using the below template that has been helpful for others:
"Hello,
We plan to change the account in Seller Central to our new bank account. Before proceeding, we wanted to inform you and confirm the switch. Please notify us if any issues arise with the change. We will await your confirmation before proceeding."
Click on "issue not listed" > choose "account related" to connect with the appropriate associate.
Monitor your email communication to receive updates and be sure to save the provided case ID number.
If you have an account representative (for those paying $5k per month), inform them of the impending change via email.
Stay proactive by following up and checking for responses. Typically, they will provide instructions on how to successfully make the account change. This is the opportune moment to implement the switch, as it is documented and confirmed by the service representative.
You will receive an account notification confirming the update to the bank. No further action is required.
Monitor your account closely for notifications, suspensions, etc. Any issues that arise should be resolvable quickly since the case was submitted and acknowledged by Amazon.
