Ensuring a Compliant Transfer of FBA Business to Another Seller
I'm planning to sell my FBA business, and the potential buyer is also an FBA business owner with an existing LLC. I have a couple of questions regarding the transfer:
1. Can the buyer purchase my Amazon account under their existing LLC?
2. Alternatively, is it possible for the buyer to acquire just my brand, including the listings and inventory, without taking over the entire account?
I'm also aware that Amazon has strict policies against individuals operating multiple primary seller accounts, which could lead to account suspensions. Given this, I want to ensure that the transfer is fully compliant with Amazon's policies to avoid any risk for either party.

Yes of course. But you have to remove all your products from Amazon and make send to him. Then he has to add this ASIN in his "Manage Inventory", print the new FNSKUs, stick on the products and send in again.
He can pay you money but that account will be useless to him. The "Legal Entity" and the "Deposit Method" can not be changed.

@Seller_rI7BZIczK8iAC explained this perfectly. Legal entity and deposit method cannot be changed so if you plan to sell your business the new owner will run into a lot of issues.
As it is stated on this help page -- Seller accounts generally are not transferable.
Best,
Connor
