Common Errors | Seller Candy Fix |
---|---|
Cropped or partial images uploaded Full page not visible; edges cut off. | We produce full-page, uncropped scans and run a pre-submission check so every edge and security feature is visible. |
Black-and-white or low-resolution copies Security features may not render. | We ensure color, high-resolution PDFs/JPEGs with legible text and clear watermarks/security patterns. |
Address/name doesn’t match Seller Central Typo, old address, nickname vs legal name. | Consistency audit: we align the legal name and address across every document and your Seller Central profile before you upload. |
Out-of-date documents Proof of address older than 90–180 days; expired ID. | We verify issue dates and validity (proof within 90–180 days depending on region; IDs unexpired) and request updated statements if needed. |
Non-English documents with no certified translation | We arrange certified translations and bundle the original + translation per Amazon’s regional rules. |
Screenshots instead of proper scans/photos | We convert to true document scans (full page, no UI chrome) in accepted formats (PDF/JPEG). |
Bank statement or letter doesn’t show required fields Missing name, address, or bank logo. | We obtain a bank-issued statement/letter showing official logo, your legal name, and address that match Seller Central. |
Business documentation incomplete No incorporation cert/tax registration where required. | We compile the correct business license/incorporation/tax registration set based on your country and entity type. |
