How can I start selling on Amazon?
It’s very simple. To start selling on Amazon, follow the steps below:
- Firstly, choose your selling plan based on the number of products you think you will sell each month. We offer two types of plan: Individual and Professional. We have an easy 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 a valid Amazon customer account or business email address, as well as your (or your company’s) credit card details. You will also need to submit a valid ID document (for example, a copy of your passport or national identity card). If you run a company, you'll also need to share your company registration details, including tax certificates (such as a VAT certificate). Lastly, you will need to provide your phone number and bank account details.
- Once your registration has been completed, you'll have access to yourSeller Central account from which 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, relevant search terms and keywords, and the price of each product.
- Then you'll need to choose the right fulfilment option to deliver your products to your customers.
- You’ll then be ready to start selling on Amazon.

We generally hold the proceeds from your sales for a certain number of days after an order has been delivered to ensure that you have sufficient funds to process any refund requests from buyers. We determine the exact number of days based on a general risk assessment and your performance history, the default time being seven days after the delivery date (“DD+7” policy).
