AEUC Seller Compliance Center
Get the paperwork right before you sell.
AEUC sellers must complete the identity, tax, business, payout and product-specific requirements that apply to them before public selling is approved. Requirements vary by business type, state, locality and product category, so AEUC should guide the seller through missing items instead of guessing that one checklist fits everyone.
AEUC rule: incomplete sellers do not go public.
A seller may prepare a store and drafts while completing verification, but AEUC should block public selling, payment acceptance and payouts until required verification is complete. Missing paperwork should create a clear action list showing what is missing, why AEUC needs it, where to obtain it and whether AEUC or an outside authority must review it.
Tax information
Valid taxpayer information required for the seller's business type and payout setup.
Business status
Sole proprietor, LLC, corporation, partnership or other lawful structure, with formation/registration records when that structure requires them.
State/local registration
Registrations, seller permits, licenses or tax accounts required by the seller's location and activities.
Banking & payouts
A payout account that matches the verified seller/business information.
Policies
Accurate shipping, return/refund, privacy and customer-service information.
Product authority
Proof the seller may lawfully sell branded, regulated, licensed or restricted products when applicable.
How AEUC should guide a missing document
STEP 1
Identify
Determine seller type, location, business activity and product category.
STEP 2
Explain
Show the exact missing item and why it is being requested.
STEP 3
Guide
Provide official-government or recognized-authority steps for obtaining it.
STEP 4
Review
AEUC verifies the submitted evidence before unlocking selling.
Category-specific compliance
Some products need more than ordinary seller verification. AEUC should trigger additional review for categories such as:
Food, supplements and consumablesCosmetics and personal careChildren's productsAutomotive partsMedical or health-related productsJewelry and precious-metal claimsDigital products and intellectual propertyProfessional or licensed servicesAlcohol, nicotine, weapons or other regulated categories
Important
AEUC can require additional marketplace verification, but it should not tell every seller that an LLC, EIN, sales-tax permit, professional license or other document is legally required when the law does not require it for that seller. The compliance engine should say required for AEUC, required by law where applicable, or recommended business practice so sellers know the difference.
