Cons:
Need to get an Amazon US Business account
Amazon is required to use your local State regulations to qualify your ability to get a Business account. Many states allow Business Accounts to be setup as a Sole-Proprietor. (We recommend Texas, if at all possible.)
International Clients would need to consult with their fiscal and legal advisors first, but some have opened US Business Buying account .
Certain Extensions where not designed to work with Business (Buyer) Accounts:
Book Profits BooksAnalyzer has some issues
(Good News is that we have been able to work around these issues with our EasyBookPrep Extension, and even present a better experience than the original, but we can't guarantee that we will always be able to do so. )
Additional Setup is recommended to use all of Easy Book Prep's Features
The amount of setup depends on how your going to use the Account:
