Learning how to sell on Amazon is not a complicated process, and setting up your account on the e-commerce website is easy.
To sign up for an account, go to services.amazon.com. From there, click the button that says, “sign up.” Underneath that sign-up button is a fee of $39.99 per year. This plan costs $39.99 monthly subscription fee if you select the professional plan.
The personal plan only charges $0.99 per sale plus extra fees. Basically, if you choose to sell fewer than 40 items per month, it makes more sense to use the individual plan. Otherwise, you’re just wasting money. The plan sells some people who don’t need it; don’t be one of them.
After deciding which of the two seller account options is for you, click your chosen option on the next page. Fill out the required information, including some tax details Amazon requires from you. Amazon doesn’t require you to have your own business, so selling simply as an individual Amazon seller is completely fine.
Once that’s all filled out, you have your seller’s account and your first online store. The product listing is pretty simple.
You should be able to search up an item that you want to sell online from there unless there is no original item with your search parameters. In that case, you need to make your listing, and if you are only selling randomly, it might be smarter to sell on eBay. Niche sales work on there better. But it’s up to you!
As a seller on Amazon, the shipping, listing, updating, and everything else is up to you. You have to build your store and create your commerce individually. Amazon does not act as a middle-man except as the website you list your products on.
However, if you are more interested in selling products on a more wholesale basis. Amazon has made it easier for merchants to do just that. The item you are selling online will show up as “sold by Amazon.com,” which is more appealing to consumers than if it was just coming from any old business. Also, because of that confidence, you’re most likely to get more people to buy your products.
