👩💻Creating an Amazon Business Buying Account (for A2A in Australia)
When doing Amazon-to-Amazon (A2A) sourcing, it’s essential that you do not place orders through your personal Amazon account. Doing so can put your main selling account at serious risk of suspension or deactivation. Instead, you’ll need to create a separate Amazon Business Buying Account.
❌ Why Not Use Your Personal Account?
Amazon strictly prohibits reselling items purchased on their platform.
Using your personal account leaves a digital trail linking your purchases to your selling account.
If Amazon detects this, it can result in suspension or permanent deactivation of your selling account — often impossible to recover from.
✅ Why Use a Business Buying Account?
Keeps your buying activity separate and undetectable from your main selling account.
Provides exclusive business discounts and shipping benefits.
Allows you to set up multiple buyers under one business, helping bypass quantity limits.
Much safer for consistent Amazon-to-Amazon sourcing in Australia.
👉 How to Create an Amazon Business Buying Account (Australia)
Use a completely new email address not linked to any other Amazon account.
USE A FRESH EMAIL
Follow step 3! Cannot insist this enough 😂
During signup, you’ll need:
Your Pty Ltd company registration number (ACN) or ABN.
Business details like company name, address, and phone number.
Tip: Amazon Business accounts sometimes offer business-only discounts, bulk pricing, and free shipping on orders over a certain amount.
📝 Requirements for Setup
Pty Ltd Company: Your ACN/ABN.
Brand-new email address not connected to any other Amazon account.
Australian billing address linked to your company.
📉 Reducing Your Risk
To keep your Business Buying Account in good standing:
Avoid requesting refunds or returns unless absolutely necessary.
Don’t report missing deliveries unless required.
Avoid cancelling orders unnecessarily.
Keeping the account “clean” may improve your chances of being randomly allocated an “Unlimited Account”, which allows you to purchase larger quantities per order. While this isn’t guaranteed, it’s a significant advantage if selected.
📱 Pro Tips for Using Your Account
Download the Amazon Business app for quicker ordering.
Orders under AU$50 may qualify for free delivery to local lockers with Subscribe & Save (remember to cancel the subscription after placing the order).
Track orders carefully to avoid accidental linkages to your main selling account.
