Amazon video verification is becoming more and more frequent. We have compiled some relevant information about video verification and shared it with all sellers so that they can understand it in advance in case of emergency. New registration video verification 🧿1. Preparation before video verification Amazon requires the company's legal representative to be present. If you are not a legal representative, you must obtain authorization from the company to conduct video verification on behalf of the legal representative. The materials that need to be prepared are as follows:- Valid ID card of the company's legal representative;
- Valid ID card of the person participating in the video verification;
- A smartphone or tablet with the Alipay app installed;
- Company business license (valid for no less than 45 days from the date of registration on Amazon);
Note: If the legal person participates in the video verification, it is enough to prepare the ID card and business license. If the legal person participates, it is necessary to install Alipay in advance and complete the "housing subsidy" or "social security inquiry" account settings on Alipay. This is mainly to confirm whether the employer name of the representative matches the company name associated with the sales account. Video verification environment requirements:- For non-iOS devices, we recommend using the following browsers: Chrome/Firefox;
- iOS devices (iPhone, Mac, iPad) use Safari, which is the browser with an icon that looks like a compass.
- The device used can be used for video and voice chat. It is recommended to test it in advance to avoid wasting too much time when starting video verification. If the computer camera or voice is not very good, you can use a mobile phone for video verification. I used a mobile phone at the time.
5 minutes before the agreed time, you can click "Enter Video Call" to enter the video verification interface. If there is any problem, Amazon will call the mobile phone number you reserved when registering. Please pay attention to this. If the mobile phone you reserved when registering is not a commonly used mobile phone, remember to bring it with you in advance to avoid wrong calls.- Is it xxx himself? Answer: Yes.
