Facing errors during registration?
Here are some of the common errors you may face during registration, and how you can resolve them
I am not able to create a new Seller Central account
I am seeing the error "Mobile number already in use"
If you receive the error "Mobile number already in use: You indicated you are a new customer, but an account already exists with the mobile number", this could be because your phone number is already linked to an Amazon account (this could be your Amazon.in customer account)

Resolution:
If you have a customer account which uses the same phone number, choose 'Sign In' and enter your customer account password to begin selling with the same account.
Choose 'Forgot Password' if you have forgotten your password
Choose 'Create account with a different mobile number' if wish to use a different mobile number for your selling account
I am seeing the error "Email has already been used"
If you receive the error "Your provided Email <your email> has already been used. Please use another Email address.", this could be because your email is already linked to an Amazon account (this could be your Amazon.in customer account)

Resolution:
If you have a customer account which uses the same email, choose 'Sign In' and enter your customer account password to begin selling with the same account.
Choose 'Forgot Password' if you have forgotten your password
If you wish to create your selling account with a different email address, change your email address & begin registration
I can’t login to the account
Seller Central sign in help
Try these steps in sequence to resolve the sign-in issues:
1. Verify that you are using the correct email and password combination. If you have more than one Amazon account with the same email address but different passwords, use the corresponding password for each account.
2. Ensure that there are no extra spaces in your password. This can happen when you copy and paste your password from somewhere else.
3. Verify that you entered the most recent Two-Step Verification code you have received, if you are prompted to enter one. Older codes won't work. For more information, see Two-Step Verification.
4. Clear your browser cookies and cache or try logging in with a different browser or device.
5. Use our Password Assistance page to verify whether the email address you are using is the one registered in our system.
6. If yes, change your password using the Password Assistance page.
7. Log on to Seller Central using your new e-mail/password combination.

If these steps do not resolve the sign-in issue, it is likely that your email and password combination is not associated with an active Seller Central account. If you did not deactivate your account, click on the button below for assistance:

How do I access my company's Seller Central account?
If your company has already registered with Seller Central, your company's account administrator can set up a user account for you. If your company has not signed up to use Seller Central, click here to start selling on Amazon
I forgot my password
I forgot my password
Use our Password Assistance page to change your password. Please do not create a new Seller Central account.

Note: If you change your password and are using something other than Seller Central (for example, Amazon Merchant Transport Utility) to submit product-related and order-related data, you might need to reconfigure those services with your new password.
I am facing problems with the 2 step verification
How do I enable Two-Step Verification?
If you are an existing Seller Central user who has not enabled Two-Step Verification, you will be prompted to activate Two-Step Verification the next time you log in to Seller Central. Click “Enable Two-Step Verification” and follow the on-screen instructions.

You can also access the Advanced Security Settings page from the Amazon website, which will take you through an identical experience.

• Two-Step Verification is tied to the login you use to access your Amazon accounts. If you use the same login for both your Amazon buyer and seller accounts, this process will protect both of them.
• If you have not already done so, Amazon recommends that you create individual logins with different email addresses, via User Permissions, for everyone accessing your seller account. Not doing so could pose a security risk for you in the future and could cause loss of access to anyone else using that particular login. See the Help topic Set user permissions for more information.
• If you already have individual seller logins for each user accessing your seller account, each account will need to enable Two-Step Verification separately.
What happens if I don't receive my Two-Step Verification code via SMS text message on my cell phone?
Click the “Didn’t receive the code?" link on the webpage where it asks you to enter your code. This will list any back-up methods you designated when you set up your account. If you do not receive the SMS text, you can opt for a voice call to your registered cell phone number. If you do not receive a code during registration, check that the provided phone number has no typos and includes a region code and that your cell phone is able to receive SMS text messages.
