    I missed that thread - what a stupid loss to the forum when he was one of the most helpful and knowledgeable posters.

    Do we know if he returned under another ID?

    Hi!

    We run a small online business in England and in order to sell with Amazon on some of their European sites they need me to have a Euro Zone based bank account.

    I could approach every Euro Zone based bank and ask if they'd permit a non-resident to open an account with them but wondered if anyone had any direct knowledge of a bank that might be able to help?

    I'm a UK homeowner and can provide whatever forms of identification / bank statements etc. that may be required.

    Regards,

    Stephen

    Not true. Amazon has unified its European marketplaces. Selling on Amazon gives you access to all 5 of their marketplaces. No need for a Euro bank account.

    It's entirely possible that the rules changed in the 3 years since the OP.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    I'm hoping the OP managed to sort it out by now
