marketplace creator US only?

I can´t find any proper _current_ information on this anywhere, just hints. Is it required to be a US citizen or be "eligible to work in the U.S. (whatever that means)" to become a content creator? So, someone living in the EU cannot apply to sell stuff on the marketplace? * I´d be happy to receive guidance here. Many thanks!

The are plentry of non-US citizens who are marketplace contributors. I.m not in a place for a longer answer, but hopefully one such contributor will chime in here.

I was just very confused by the wording on roll20's homepage. I hope others will come forward with their experiences.

Hi Bianca, many thanks (and sorry for the late reply). Maybe I misunderstand the sentence but it is on this page: <a href="https://roll20partners.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/10844424110999-Who-Can-Sell-on-the-Roll20-Marketplace-" rel="nofollow">https://roll20partners.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/10844424110999-Who-Can-Sell-on-the-Roll20-Marketplace-</a>

The real question is how Roll20 pays, as it makes a difference for US tax forms for foreign residents. Are the payments royalties?

Canadian creator here. I think I've answered this before but the quick is yep, they pay foreign creators via paypal. Before I got my creator status roll20 emailed a link to sign a merchant agreement and a w8ben tax form. I dunno if all foreign countries get a w8ben but it basically says you do not pay US taxes on your earnings from X date to Y date. When it expires they simply renew the form. I've since done my Canadian taxes for a few years now and there isn't anything extra or special I've had to do. If you email Roll20 and apply for creator status the human on the other end will probably arrange the necessary forms. It does take longer though (I think mine took a month or more) and you need to send documents back and forth a few times with the precise formatting roll20 will request. It should still be just an online signing if the process hasn't changed.
