Issues opening a Tik Tok Shop - $90M Amazon Seller
As the title says, I'm a high revenue Amazon seller. Have generated close to $90M in revenue on Amazon in the past 10 years, and am currently doing over $1m/month in sales there.
I figured I'd want to test some of my products on TTS to see what the hype is about, but every single time I go to create an account it gets suspended.
I've tried appealing multiple times but it's always the same response. "We can verify your identity", or more recently "Risk and safety concerns".
Some background:
I have a NY based LLC and have had it for the past 10 years.
Have gone through 1 corporate name change, but have all the IRS documents to support it and all current IRS paperwork is in the new name as of 5 years ago.
US Citizen with US passport and NY drivers license - both have been submitted to TTS multiple times
Have a physical warehouse in NY - proof has been shown to TTS appeals in the form of a lease.
Have provided any type of personal and business verification they've asked for, mortgage statements, video verification, utility bills, invoices from suppliers, everything.
I have nothing to hide, and nothing should be unscrupulous about my paperwork or my business, yet I've never been able to get approved.
I've just used up I beleive my 5th attempt of opening a new TTS account. I believe you have the ability to create up to 5. Each time has been a different email and phone number according to what I've read on the matter.
At my witts end with this. It's getting to the point where I'm thinking of just creating a new LLC just to sell on TTS, but it would be an absolute nightmare for me. Any one have any suggestions?
I might attend a trade show next week where TTS has a booth literally just to speak to someone about my issues. Is there any support channels for high volume sellers? or does anyone have ANY advice for me? I've been through the ringer countless times with Amazon and their requests, so I think I'm pretty well versed in preparing these documents correctly, but I'm clearly doing something wrong.
