More to the point, is it worth it or a pain in the neck?
Hello,
You have been identified as an eligible seller for Remote Fulfilment with FBA in France, Germany, Italy and/or Spain and other eligible EU locations.
We’re updating the program enrolment process to automatically enrol eligible sellers, and we will enrol you in Remote Fulfilment with FBA unless you opt out within the next 30 days.
Remote Fulfilment with FBA allows you to sell to customers in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and/or other eligible EU locations using your UK FBA inventory without obtaining VRN in EU. The programme can help you increase sales and expand your customer base without sending inventory to the destination country.
To simplify your selling experience, we’ll use the Build International Listings tool to duplicate your eligible UK offers on amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.es, amazon.it and others. The tool also synchronises your UK FBA prices to France, Germany, Italy and/or Spain and other eligible EU locations by adjusting for fee and currency exchange differences.
To learn more about the programme details, go to the following resources:
Unless you are aware and cover off EU regulations, you will have problems. For example, EPR, GPSR to name just 2. There are many more.
If you are currently only selling in UK and wish this to continue, opt out and keep checking as amazon are very sneaky and might opt you in without your knowledge. It doesn’t matter to them, you are just a number.
This, 10 fold. We used to sell to europe albeit before Brexit and all the rules and red tape mentioned above and was no end of prblems even then. Incredible how difficult they’ve made it, stifling international trade when should be the opposite.
