Frequently Asked Questions
How can I start selling on Amazon?
Getting started as a seller with Amazon is very simple. In order to start selling on Amazon, you need to follow the below steps:
- First, choose your selling plan based on the number of products you think you will sell per month. We offer two types of plans: individual and professional. We even have an easy Sell on Amazon Fee Calculator to help you understand how much you can earn with each plan for a certain number of products sold.
- Next, you will need to complete the registration process. This requires your Amazon customer account or a business email address, as well as your (or your company's) credit card details. You will also need to submit a valid ID document (a passport copy or a national identity card, for example). In case you run a company, you will also have to share your company registration details including tax certificates (such as a VAT certificate). Lastly, you will need to share your phone number and bank account details.
- Once your registration is complete, you’ll get access to your Seller Central account from where you can manage your business.
- Next, you’ll need to list your products by adding a product ID, SKU, Product title, Product description, Product images and search terms and relevant keywords, and the cost of each product.
- Then you’ll need to choose the right fulfilment option to deliver your products to your customers.
- Now you are ready to start selling on Amazon.

Selling plan fees
These are the fees you pay for your selling plan, and they vary depending on which plan you select.
