hi @LZGDev ,
This post asks similar questions, but your are better off with the new process
I am indie non-us and my account is working, even though I have nothing to sell 
.
You really need to think about the future which will be the FAB store, (currently only available in Fortnite UEFN).
The view of many is its better to have a new personal sales account name and keep your original account for Downloads.
With the new security features being “enforced” meaning security codes to you phone/email you are best of starting with a new account.
FAB is the future from 2025 and low sales on Marketplace are not helping survival of that market
The view on the old Epic Market place is not good
