Amazon Seller Verification

Hi,

I’ve been asked by Amazon to verify my details to continue selling on there but I don’t have a passport. They have just told me that if I don’t have one I can’t continue to sell anymore. I have always used my driving licence previously.
Has anyone had any joy in completing verification without one?
Are they even allowed to do this?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

    It's Amazon's platform so they make the rules, why would they not be allowed to do so?

    No idea how much money you make from selling there but is it worth the £100 to just get a passport?

    Get a passport, useful for proving ID

    You could try emailing seller-verification-enquiry@amazon.co.uk and ask if they can enable the driving license option for verification - or enquire why it is not available to you when it is an approved method of Amazon identity verification.
