Not just for new sellers

We’ve also heard that Amazon is slowly rolling out this upgrade to existing accounts as well.

Looking down the road

We’ve been hearing rumors of Amazon.com sellers being invited to sell on an upcoming Amazon Mexico 3rd-party marketplace. This unified North American Account will likely apply to Amazon Mexico at some point in the future as well.

We see this as the next logical step for Amazon, similar to the unified European accounts that allow sellers to manage inventory and sell on multiple European marketplaces from a single Seller Central account.

If you’re not sure if your account has been upgraded, you can also check with Amazon seller support.
