# Streszczenie
eMAG seller account for an EU company: requirements, documents, step-by-step verification and the most common reasons for rejection. A practical registration guide.

# Treść
**Registering an eMAG seller account as a Polish company is mostly a matter of having your paperwork in order and being patient during verification, not a complicated legal barrier. In this guide we walk step by step through the requirements a company from Poland or the EU has to meet, the details to prepare and how to pass verification on the first attempt.**

eMAG is the largest marketplace in Romania and opening a seller account there is a highly formalised process - the platform checks a company's credibility before letting it sell. The good news: as a Polish company you operate under the same rules as any other seller from the European Union. The whole process comes down to completing your registration details, attaching documents and passing eMAG's review.

If you are only just considering this market, it is worth starting with the wider context - what [selling on eMAG looks like operationally](https://harta.agency/emag/) - and then coming back to the registration itself.

## Requirements for a Polish / EU company

To become a seller on eMAG you need a registered business - the platform is meant for companies, not for private sales. You open the account as a legal entity, and the company details must match what appears in official registers.

The basic conditions worth checking on your side before you start the registration:

- **An active EU company** - a sole trader or a company with a valid registration (in Poland: CEIDG or KRS). eMAG accepts sellers from European Union countries, so a Polish entity meets this condition.
- **VAT / EU VAT number** - cross-border sales and intra-EU settlements normally require an EU VAT number (VIES registration). eMAG requires it as early as the account opening stage.
- **VAT in Romania** - once distance-selling thresholds to EU consumers are exceeded, VAT settlement in the buyer's country comes into play (the OSS scheme or local registration). This depends on your logistics model.
- **A business bank account** - the settlement account eMAG transfers your payouts to. The platform accepts accounts in EUR as well as in PLN.

The mechanism is simple: eMAG wants certainty that there is a real, accountable company on the other side. The clearer and more consistent your registration data, the smoother the following stages go. Before you start, though, do the cost maths as well - in a separate article we break down [how much selling on eMAG really costs](https://harta.agency/ile-kosztuje-sprzedaz-na-emag/), from commission to additional fees.

## Which documents to prepare

Verification moves quickly when the full set of documents is ready before you open the form. Scan them legibly, in colour, without cropped edges - poor scan quality is one of the more common reasons an application is sent back.

The set of documents usually relevant for a Polish company (confirm the exact list in the eMAG registration panel):

- **Company registration document** - a CEIDG printout or a KRS extract confirming that the company exists and who represents it.
- **Confirmation of the tax / VAT number** - and of the EU VAT number, if you hold one.
- **Bank account details** - confirmation of the business account number (for example a bank certificate or a statement header).
- **ID document of the representative** - an identity card or passport, if the platform asks to verify the person.
- **Contact and address details** - registered address, returns address, phone and email handled in Romanian or English.

It is worth thinking about product compliance right away. Since 13 December 2024 the EU's GPSR regulation on general product safety has applied, and eMAG requires the relevant data in your listings. That is a separate and important topic - we cover it step by step in our guide on [how to implement GPSR requirements on eMAG](https://harta.agency/jak-wprowadzic-gpsr-na-emag/). It is not part of the account registration itself, but without it you will not start selling for real.

## The verification process step by step

Registration runs in stages. The order of the screens and the field names are updated by eMAG from time to time, so treat the following as a mechanism rather than a rigid script.

1. **Opening the account and entering company details** - you fill in the form with the company name, registration number, tax/VAT number and contact details. At this stage, matching the registers is critical.
2. **Attaching documents** - you upload the scans from the list in section 2. eMAG checks whether the data in the documents matches what you typed into the form.
3. **Signing the seller agreement** - you accept the terms of cooperation and the marketplace rules. Read the provisions on commissions, payouts and returns handling.
4. **Review on eMAG's side** - the platform's team checks your application. Waiting times vary - it usually takes up to 5 working days.
5. **Account configuration and your first listing** - once approved, you set up delivery methods and invoicing details and add products. Only a published, correct listing starts your sales.

At any stage eMAG may ask you to complete or correct your data. Reply quickly and to the point - the shorter the correspondence loop, the sooner the account reaches approval.

## The most common reasons for rejection (and how to avoid them)

Most rejections do not happen because a company "does not qualify" for eMAG, but because of small inconsistencies in the data. Below we list the typical causes and how to avoid them.Reason for rejectionHow to prevent itCompany details differ between the form and the documentsCopy the name, address and numbers 1:1 from the KRS extract / CEIDG entry.Illegible or cropped scansScan in colour, with the whole document in frame, in a format the panel accepts.Missing EU VAT number where it is requiredRegister for EU VAT (VIES) in advance - it is often a condition of cross-border selling.Outdated registration dataCheck that your CEIDG/KRS entry is active and reflects the current situation.No response to a request for additional informationWatch your inbox (spam folder included) and answer eMAG's messages within 1-2 days.

There is one rule: **consistency of data**. eMAG rejects applications that cannot be verified unambiguously - not because something is "wrong" with the company, but because the data does not add up. Before you submit, go through the application once more and compare every field against its source document.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can a Polish company sell on eMAG without a branch in Romania?
Yes - eMAG is open to sellers from across the European Union and does not require you to set up a Romanian company in order to sell.

### How long does seller account verification take?
It depends on how complete your application is and on the current workload of the eMAG team. A complete set of correct documents shortens the process, while gaps and inconsistencies extend it by further rounds of correspondence - the verification itself, however, usually takes up to 5 working days.

### Do I need an EU VAT number to register the account?
For cross-border selling within the EU an EU VAT number (VIES) is normally required, and not having one can get your application sent back. eMAG requires it as early as the account opening stage.

### Do I need to speak Romanian to register?
English is usually enough to get through registration, but real selling calls for customer service and product descriptions in Romanian. That affects account quality and the buyer experience, so it pays to plan translations early.

### What should you do if the application is rejected?
A rejection is almost always reversible. Read eMAG's reasoning, correct the data or documents they flagged and submit again - the key is removing the specific inconsistency, not opening an account from scratch.
