Match documents to business type
A sole trader and a company have different records. Follow the entity route in Seller Center instead of assuming every seller needs the same registration document. Keep legal details consistent with genuine records.
Review tax and product obligations separately
VAT treatment depends on the business and transactions; do not rely on an outdated universal turnover figure. Safety and marking rules depend on the product. Ask the appropriate adviser to verify the obligations applying to the catalog.
Confirm operational evidence
Review requested ownership, identity and bank information alongside shipping and returns. Record requests and submission dates. A consistent genuine file is more useful than repeatedly sending an unchanged document bundle.
Summary
Check current UK registration and product obligations for the actual entity and catalog.
