If you’re a small business owner offering a unique product, we’re willing to bet that you’ve considered selling on Amazon. After all, Amazon is a tried-and-true retail powerhouse: Over the last thirty days alone, the online marketplace has garnered 175 million unique visitors. Compare that number to the traffic on your small business website, and it’s quickly obvious why selling on Amazon is a great way to expand your business.
But in addition to potential customer reach, Amazon’s generous range of business management and distribution tools makes it easy for businesses of all sizes to scale far beyond what they could otherwise do alone.
And you don’t only need to sell material products to leverage Amazon’s incredible marketplace: Now, Amazon Home Services allows B2C service providers (think handymen, computer techs, and even music teachers) to connect with clients in their areas.
So if you’ve been curious about using the Amazon Marketplace to grow your small business—whether that business offers products or services—read our comprehensive, step-by-step guide to selling on Amazon successfully. We’ve added tips on best practices, too, so you can be sure you’re using Amazon to sell to your greatest potential.
A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Sell Products On Amazon
Depending on the type and quantity of products you’re selling, and how you choose to fulfill your orders, selling your products on Amazon can be as easy or as complex of a process as you choose. But if you want to make selling on Amazon really easy, it all comes down to these four steps:
- Step 1: Choose a seller category. Your Amazon seller category depends on the kind of business you run.
- Step 2: Create your Amazon seller account. This is how you’ll get your business registered to sell on Amazon.
- Step 3: Set up your seller profile. This is how you’ll let Amazon users know what your business is all about.
- Step 4: List, sell, and ship. This is the whole process for selling on Amazon. We’ll break down all the details of that process for you.
Successful Amazon Sellers have included nationally recognizable brand names, individuals sellers distributing thousands of units straight from their living rooms, and everything in between. It all comes down to how you choose to leverage the marketplace, and Amazon’s various services, to fit your small business’s needs.
Regardless of their size, every new Amazon seller gets started with these four steps. Here are the details of what you really need to do to sell on Amazon.
Step 1: Choose a Seller Category
When you sign up to sell on Amazon, you’ll choose one of two different selling categories, depending on the scale of your business:
- Sell as an Individual: If you own a very small business and plan to sell fewer than 40 items per month, you can sell as an individual on Amazon. This’ll cost you just $0.99 per sale, plus a few other small Amazon selling fees.
- Sell as a Professional: Most small businesses will fall into this category. If you plan to sell more than 40 individual items per month, Amazon will charge a subscription of $39.99 per month, plus individual transaction fees.
Also, be aware that certain products require approval to sell—and, if approved, only sellers with Professional accounts are eligible to sell those products. So, before you choose which type of account to sign up for, check out Amazon’s comprehensive list of approved product categories to see whether you’ll need to get the go-ahead before becoming a seller.
Step 2: Create Your Amazon Seller Account
After you’ve chosen which category you’ll sell under, you’re ready to set up your Amazon Seller Account. To complete your account setup, Amazon will request:
- Your Business Name: This is the name that will be visible to customers in the Amazon Marketplace.
- Your Legal Name and Address: This information is stored in your account for Amazon’s reference. If you’re a registered business entity, use the exact name and address under which you’re registered.
- Contact Information for Amazon and Customers: Amazon will use this information to contact you with order notifications, Guarantee Claim notifications, and service and technical updates. Customers will use your customer contact information to reach out with questions about your orders. Contacts for Amazon and customers can be the same or separate.
- Where Products “Ship From”: Although your Ship From location doesn’t change the shipping time or cost for buyers, some customers will use this information to make a buying decision between similar listings.
- Bank Account Information: Amazon delivers payments for products sold every 14 days directly to your business bank account.
- Shipping Options: Select which worldwide regions you’re willing to ship to, and indicate whether you’ll offer expedited shipping.
Step 3: Set Up Your Seller Profile
Once your account is active, the next step in the Amazon selling process is to complete your public seller profile. Think of the Amazon seller profile as your Amazon-based social network profile for your business: This is where Amazon customers will get to know your company, view your shipping and return policies, review customer feedback, and more.
Here are the main sections you’ll want to complete in your Seller Profile right away:
- “About Seller” Section: This is where you’ll introduce buyers to your small business. Let them know who you are, tell the story of how you started your business, share your company philosophy, and add any other information that may help the buyer establish an emotional connection to you as a seller. Essentially, creating a sense of transparency through your “about seller” section establishes trust between you and your buyer. And when a buyer trusts you, they’ll be more likely to choose your listing over similar items available in the marketplace.
- Your Seller Logo: Customers will see your logo on your At a Glance page, on your storefront, and on the Offer Listing Page. Your logo must be 120 x 30 pixels in size, and the image can’t contain a URL or any reference to your own website.
- Return and Refund Policies: Provide instructions for how customers should return items, include the address where the merchandise should be returned to, and include the estimated time to process a refund. Keep in mind, though, that Amazon policy requires sellers to allow returns for a minimum of 30 days.
4. List, Sell, and Ship
Once your seller profile is complete, you’re ready to begin the process of listing and selling products on the Amazon Marketplace. We go over this process in much more detail below.
→TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read): Before you can start selling your products on Amazon, you’ll need to choose and create an Amazon Seller Account to register your business’s information and bank account. Then, set up your customer-facing Amazon Seller Profile.
Listing, Selling, and Shipping Products on Amazon: The 4-Step Process
Amazon breaks down its selling process into four simple steps: list, sell, ship, and get paid. Of course, the first three of these steps involve quite a few sub-steps, and there is definitely a learning curve to selling on Amazon successfully. But once you get the hang of it, selling on Amazon can become simple and intuitive, so you can start easily growing your business.

Step 1: List
The first step to selling on Amazon is pretty obvious: You’ll need to list your products on the Amazon Marketplace. If you’re an Individual seller, you’ll list your products on the Amazon Marketplace one at a time. And if you’re a Professional seller, you can list your products in large batches.
The products you sell on Amazon will fall into one of two categories: Products already listed in the Amazon Marketplace, and new products of which you will be the first and/or only seller.
Listing Products Already on Amazon
If the product you’re listing is already on Amazon, you can use the stock images and descriptions available on the site. You just have to indicate how many products you have to sell, describe the condition of the product(s), and select your available shipping options.
If you’re listing more than 50 products that are already in the Amazon catalog, you’ll use the Excel-formatted Listings Loader to fill in and upload the UPC/EAN codes for your listed products.
Listing Products Not Yet on Amazon
Do you design or manufacture a brand-new product that isn’t yet sold on Amazon? The great news is that you’ll definitely face less competition. The not-so-great news? The process to list that new product involves a few extra steps.
In order to list a new product on Amazon, you’ll need to provide:
- The UPC/EAN Number: A unique 12- or 13-digit bar code used to track products. Multiple listings from various sellers of the same product will have a single UPC/EAN number, and only one product detail listing will be created to match that unique number.
- The SKU: A unique number that you create to track each of your listings.
- The Product Title: This should describe the product as concisely as possible.
- Product Description and Bullet Points: Use the bullet points as quick descriptive text to catch the buyer’s interest. You can provide a more thorough overview of your product in the product description.
- Product Images: High quality images are essential to selling on Amazon successfully. Amazon requires that images are at least 500 x 500 pixels on a pure white background without text or watermarks, and the product should take up at least 80% of the image area. For best results, use well-lit images of at least 1000 x 1000 pixels in size.
- Search Terms: For each new product that you list, Amazon gives you five fields of 50 characters each in which to list search terms. Each field can include several words—separated by spaces, not commas. Keep in mind that the product title, UPC, manufacturer, and merchant are automatically included in the search terms, so there’s no need to repeat these in the search fields.
Uploading Your Listings
Once you’ve gathered your product information, you have two options for uploading your new product listings:
- If you’re selling up to 50 products, you can use the Seller Central Add a Product tool.
- To add multiple products not yet listed in the Amazon catalog, you’ll:
- Go to Seller Central
- Download the Inventory File Excel template that corresponds to your primary product category
- Fill in and upload details for all of your products from one central document.
For your first bulk product listing, it’s a good idea to limit the number of individual products to about 20 items. This will keep you from losing too much time and energy if a data error prevents the upload from going through.
Listings may be available to customers immediately after your upload is complete—but Amazon may take up to 24 hours to process your upload. If you don’t immediately see your new listing on the offer listing page, be patient and check back the next day for updates. If it still seems to be missing, contact Amazon through the Seller Portal, or use the FAQ to troubleshoot any upload errors.
→TL;DR: After you list your products according to their category, you’ll upload your products to Seller Central. Customers can see those listings up to 24 hours after they’re posted.
Step 2: Sell
As soon as your listings are uploaded and have gone live on the Amazon marketplace, you can use the Seller Central website to manage all aspects of your selling account: Check for new orders, update your inventory, monitor your performance metrics, and much more.
If you’ve primarily listed new products in the Amazon marketplace, then the hardest part of getting started as a seller is behind you.
But if you’re selling products that have already been listed on Amazon, that means you have a lot more competition. You’ll need to build the best possible listings for your products, so that customers will choose you over your competitors.
Amazon manages this competitive selling process through what they call the Amazon “Buy Box.”
Winning The Buy Box on Amazon
If you’ve ever shopped on Amazon, you’ll know that the platform allows multiple sellers to offer the same product. All the sellers listing the same product may compete to win the “Buy Box” for that product. The Buy Box on a product’s page is where customers add items to their shopping carts.

By “winning” the Buy Box, one seller will become the default listing for any given product that multiple sellers offer—so if you do win the Buy Box, you’ll likely see an increase in sales.
Amazon doesn’t disclose the specific targets required for sellers to win the Buy Box. But to increase your chances of winning that coveted spot, focus on optimizing your listings in these four areas:
- Pricing: Make sure you’re pricing your products competitively. Buy Box listings most frequently display the lowest available “all in” prices—that is, the total amount the customer will pay, including shipping costs.
- Availability: Keep your most popular products consistently in stock. Also make sure you’re regularly updating your inventory numbers in the Seller Central portal. You can’t win the Buy Box for listings that aren’t currently in stock.
- Fulfillment: Update your shipping settings in Seller Central to offer multiple shipping speeds and options—and, if at all possible, offer free shipping. The free shipping option is a hallmark of the Amazon brand, so it’s unlikely that sellers who charge for shipping will win the Buy Box over sellers who do offer free shipping.
- Customer Service: Metrics showing your past customers’ satisfaction directly impact your ability to win the Buy Box for future listings. Keep an eye on your customer feedback, and use the Account Health page in the Performance section of seller central to monitor your customer metrics.
Ultimately, improving your listing placement on the Amazon Offer Listing Page requires trial, error, and a little bit of time. Work to provide a top notch experience for your customers, and improve your logistical processes. Over time, those efforts will show in your Buy Box placement in comparison to your competition.
→TL;DR: To optimize your sales, aim to improve your listing placement on the Amazon Offer Listing Page—and, ultimately, win the Buy Box spot from your competitors.
Step 3: Ship
Once a customer places an order, the next step is to get that product into their hands. Amazon offers two product shipment options:
- Seller Self-Shipping: You, as the seller, are responsible for maintaining inventory, packaging, labeling, and shipping products to individual customers.
- Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA): Amazon stores your products in their fulfillment centers, and they’ll handles packaging and shipping products to customers.
Seller Self-Shipping
If you choose to fulfill orders yourself, Amazon charges customers standard shipping rates for media products (books, music, DVDs, software, and video games) if you’re a Professional Seller. Amazon will charge standard shipping rates for all your products if you’re an Individual Seller.
Standard shipping rates are determined based on the product category and shipping speed (which the buyer chooses). Amazon reimburses you for those rates through the Amazon payments service. Unfortunately, if your shipping costs don’t match the platform rate, you lose the difference in any additional shipping costs incurred.
Fulfillment by Amazon
If the nitty-gritty of processing and shipping orders yourself feels overwhelming, go for the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) shipping method. Through FBA, you can use Amazon’s world-class fulfillment centers, customer support, and other operational tools to scale your business faster than you ever could on your own.
If you work with FBA, you’ll store your inventory in Amazon’s fulfillment centers around the world. When a customer places an order, Amazon handles packaging and shipping the product to the customer.
Here are some other advantages to using FBA:
- Prime Eligibility: When you manage your products through Amazon FBA, your entire inventory becomes Prime eligible—a benefit that regularly leads to customers choosing your listing first.
- Free Super Saver Eligibility: All products that FBA manages are eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25. As a result, these listings benefit from better placement on the Amazon site than seller-fulfilled listings.
- A Single Inventory Pool: You can use Amazon FBA to fulfill orders not just from the Amazon Marketplace, but from your own ecommerce site or other third party sites, as well. As a result, you’ll have a seamless sales and shipping experience, regardless of where you’re selling your product online.
Beyond these advantages, the best part of using FBA is that it’s incredibly easy. Instead of handling the logistics of monitoring and fulfilling orders, tracking shipments, and handling customer service issues yourself, all you have to do is send your inventory to Amazon and let them handle the rest.
How FBA Works
If you decide that using Fulfillment by Amazon to manage your seller account is the best choice for your business, follow these steps to get started.
- Upload Your Product List: To get started with FBA, upload your product list onto Seller Central following the same steps you would use for a seller-shipped product. Then, arrange to ship your full or partial inventory directly to Amazon, benefiting from Amazon’s reduced shipping rates.
- Store and Manage Your Inventory Through Amazon: Amazon stores and manages your products within one or several of its 75+ fulfillment centers around the world. You still own the inventory, of course. You’ll also pay a storage fee for your items until they’re sold.
- Pay-As-You-Go: FBA has no minimum unit count or flat rate subscription fees (beyond the monthly subscription you already pay as a Professional Amazon Seller). So you only pay for the number and weight of units you actually store and ship to customers.
- Picked, Packed, and Shipped by Amazon: As soon as you receive an order, Amazon will package and ship your product directly to the customer.
- Seamless Management of Payments: Once Amazon ships the order, Amazon collects payment from the customer, deducts their fulfillment fee as a percentage of the total sale based on the weight and number of items, and deposits payments directly into your bank account every 14 days.
- Customer Service by Amazon: If you use FBA, Amazon serves as the direct customer service contact.
Pricing for Fulfillment by Amazon
The many benefits of using Fulfillment by Amazon do come with a significant price tag. But for many businesses, the increased exposure and ease of scalability far outweigh the costs of using FBA.
Let’s break down exactly how Amazon calculates FBA fees. Keep in mind that you’ll pay these fees on top of your monthly Professional seller subscription, and fees you already incur as an Amazon seller.
- Order Handling: The order handling cost is $1 per order for standard size, non-media items. Standard size media items receive free order handling.
- Picking and Packing: Amazon calculates fees for Pick & Pack services per unit that your customer orders, so you’ll only pay these fees when you receive a sale. While these rates vary by product type, average rates hover around $1 per order fulfilled on Amazon.
- Weight Handling: To account for the processing and shipment of overweight products, Amazon charges a weight handling fee of $1.59 per pound per unit that your customer orders. Again, you only pay weight handling fees when you make a sale.
- Storage: Fees for storage are calculated per cubic foot per month, and vary by product type, size, and time of year. Average storage fees for standard size items may be as low as $0.51 per cubic foot per month.
Fees for Oversize Products
Amazon defines standard-size products as any packaged unit that is 20 lb. or less, with its longest side 18″ or less, its shortest side 8″ or less, and its median side 14″ or less. Any unit product exceeding any of these dimensions is considered oversize, and will incur special processing fees.
In addition to higher Pick & Pack and Weight Handling fees, some oversize products may incur a “special handling” fee averaging $40 per shipment.
Not sure whether using Fulfillment by Amazon is the right choice for your bottom line? Check out Amazon’s handy revenue calculator to weigh the dollars and cents of using FBA for your particular products.
→TL;DR: You can choose to ship products to your customers yourself, or you can use the Fulfillment by Amazon service. If you use FBA, all you need to do is send your inventory to Amazon’s warehouses, and Amazon takes care of the rest of the shipping process. However, FBA requires that you pay some additional fees.
Step 4: Get Paid
After you’ve figured out whether to ship products yourself or use Amazon’s FBA service, then you’re ready to offer your products to Amazon customers—and get paid for it.
Amazon deducts all those applicable fees we mentioned from your bank account every 2 weeks. They’ll deposit payments into your bank account every 2 weeks, too, and they’ll send you an email notification every time you’ve received a new payment.
TL;DR: To start making money on Amazon, you’ll first need to set up your account; list your products appropriately; leverage the sales process; and decide whether to ship products yourself, or let Amazon ship for you. Once you start making sales, Amazon makes a direct deposit into your business bank account every two weeks, and collects any applicable fees.
6 Tips for Selling Products on Amazon Successfully
True, there are a few steps involved in selling your products on Amazon, and some are a little more complicated than others. But if you complete all these steps, you’ll be able to benefit from Amazon’s incredible advantages and quickly scale your business.
How exactly can your small business best benefit from Amazon’s selling platform? Follow these 6 tips to make your Amazon product listings stand out from the crowd, and win tons of sales over your competition.
1. Check for New Orders Daily
Since customer service is a key metric by which Amazon determines your success as a seller, it’s crucial to know when a new customer has purchased your product. That way, you can promptly fill and ship every order you receive.
Amazon sends you an email notification when you have a sale, but those emails aren’t always reliable. Get in the habit of checking the Seller Central portal every day, so you can really stay on top of new orders or notifications from your customers.
2. Confirm When You Ship
Product sellers should always confirm on the Seller Central portal when an order has shipped. Amazon only charges your customer’s credit card after the shipment is confirmed. So, in addition to good customer service, this step is important to getting yourself paid quickly.
Remember that you’re responsible for confirming shipment within the time frame that you specified in your shipping settings. To confirm that Amazon has shipped an order, go to the Orders tab, then select the Confirm Shipment button for the order in question.
3. Check Your Inventory Regularly
Keep track of how much inventory you have in stock at all times. Realizing that you’re unexpectedly out of stock and can’t fulfill an order is a recipe for negative customer feedback—which can have a dramatic impact on your future sales.
4. Keep Pricing Information Up to Date
Shoppers are most likely to choose the lowest-priced deals (listed nearest to the top of the listing page, of course). So, if you hold a sale or lower your prices, make sure to update your product listings to reflect those changes.
5. Respond to Customers Promptly
One of the benefits of partnering with Amazon is your association with the brand’s top-notch reliability and customer service. As a new seller, you start with the benefit of Amazon’s built-in credibility—but it’s your responsibility to maintain that credibility by being highly reliable and responsive to customers.
If an order is delayed, for instance, reach out to the customer to give them a heads up. Or if a customer contacts you because they didn’t receive a shipment, or the product was damaged, respond immediately, and take steps to remedy the situation.
6. Build a Five-Star Feedback Rating
Cultivating a strong customer feedback rating is key to your selling experience on Amazon—both for improving buyer perception of your product listings, and for improving the placement of your products on the offer listing page.
Here are a few things you can do to help build a strong feedback rating:
- Describe products accurately, in as much detail as possible
- Ship products to customers as promptly as possible
- Reach out to customers proactively with information about delays or changes to their order
- Respond to customers’ questions within 24 hours
- Solicit positive customer feedback on your product packing slips
→TL;DR: Basically, the key to selling on Amazon successfully is to be transparent with your customers. Be prompt and honest in your communications with your customers, and be proactive about answering any of their questions or concerns. If you do, you’ll be well on your way to hitting the top of the listings page—and seeing the numbers in your bank account grow.
Selling Services on Amazon
By now, most retailers are well aware of Amazon’s impact on the product marketplace—and they know how selling their products on Amazon can benefit their businesses.
But if you’re a service professional who provides any type of B2C service, you, too, can use Amazon to grow your business.
Recently, Amazon launched Amazon Home Services to allow Amazon customers to source any type of professional services—like bike mechanics, carpet cleaners, pet groomers, and plumbers—through the Amazon.com portal.
Below are the types of professionals currently listing their services on Amazon, but this list is growing regularly.

If you’re a B2C service professional, here’s what you need to know to start selling your services on Amazon.
6 Steps to Selling Services on Amazon
Think of Amazon Home Services (which we’ll call AHS) as an Uber for B2C services: Through AHS, Amazon customers can easily source a variety of services by connecting to those service providers in their neighborhoods. Check out the Amazon Home Services Storefront to see how customers navigate services, and to determine what other service providers are currently participating in your neighborhood.
Curious about becoming an Amazon Service Provider? Follow these 6 steps to apply to the program, set up your account, and start connecting with prospective clients in your area.
1. Apply for Amazon Home Services
Before you can to register your professional services on AHS, you’ll need to complete an application. And, to be eligible for this program, you’ll need to suit Amazon’s basic requirements, which include holding General Liability insurance, and providing the appropriate licensing for your trade.
Then, Amazon will complete a business background check to make sure your company’s information is copacetic. Any employees participating in in-home services will need to pass individual background checks, too.
If your application is accepted, you’ll receive an e-mail from Amazon with an activation code and instructions for setting up your Amazon Home Service profile.
2. Set Up Your Amazon Home Services Profile
Once you’ve been accepted as an Amazon Service Provider, you’ll be able to create your storefront, which is the profile page where customers can learn more about your company. You can write an introduction to your business, specify your service area by zip code, collect customer reviews, and more.
3. Create Your Packages
Amazon has created set pre-packages for various service categories based on the most common service requests they see from customers (most of which are product assembly and installation).
Once you’ve signed up as a seller, you can choose which of these services to offer, set your prices, and specify the exact zip codes in which you’ll offer these services.
Then, customers can order these packages on Amazon.com at any time. You’ll receive an email notification when your new order is queued up.
4. Use Seller Central
Through the Amazon Seller Central portal, you can schedule services online, set up automated communications with customers, manage your packages, prices, and payments, and much more.
5. Create Custom Services
Occasionally, a customer in your neighborhood may be interested in a service that’s in your wheelhouse, but doesn’t exactly fit within one of your pre-packaged options. In that case, Amazon offers custom service requests.
When a client makes a custom service request, you’ll receive their request via email and have 24 hours to respond with a bid. If the customer accepts the bid, you’ll proceed with the order as usual, and Amazon will handle all scheduling, billing, and payment processing.
6. Get Paid
Amazon Payments automatically handles payment for services sold through Amazon Home Services, so you don’t have to deal with invoicing or collecting from your customers. Once you’ve completed a job, Amazon simply deposits your earnings directly into your bank account. Also be aware that Amazon collects a percentage of your service price, which they’ll deduct from your bank account every time they pay you.
Amazon Home Services Fees
One of the greatest benefits of selling services on Amazon is that you don’t pay up front for leads or advertising. Fees are calculated as a percentage of sales, so Amazon only gets paid when you do.
For any service that Amazon sells on your behalf, the company will collect the following fees:
- Transaction Fee: 5% of each transaction—includes the costs of invoicing, payment processing, and fraud protection.
- Platform Fee: between 10% and 20% of each transaction—covers marketing and advertising costs, seller tools, and customer service.
The total cost of Amazon Home Services fees depends on the price of your service, and the type of service you’re providing:
- Pre-Packaged Services: Amazon collects 20% for the portion of the service price up to $1K (5% Transaction fee and 15% Service Platform fee), and 15% for the portion of the service price greater than $1K (5% Transaction fee and 10% Service Platform fee).
- Custom Services: Fees for Custom Services amount to 15% for the portion of the service price up to $1K (5% Transaction fee and 10% Service Platform fee), and 10% for the portion of the service price greater than $1K (5% Transaction fee and 5% Service Platform fee).
- Recurring Services: If a customer books your company for a recurring service (such as weekly fitness training sessions or monthly carpet cleaning services), Amazon collects 10% of service price for completed orders over $1K (5% Transaction fee and 5% Service Platform fee).
As you can see, Amazon collects all transaction and platform fees as a percentage of the service price (rather than a flat rate). That percentage excludes any taxes collected through Amazon tax collection services.
→TL;DR: B2C professionals can apply to offer their services through the Amazon Home Services program. If your business is accepted to the AHS program, local customers can find your profile on Amazon.com and request your service. Amazon pays you for completed services through a direct deposit into your bank account, and they’ll collect any applicable fees.
Selling on Amazon: The Most Important Things to Remember
Whether you’re selling products or services, Amazon’s brand recognition and logistical advantages are incredible tools for expanding your business far beyond what you’d likely have the capacity to achieve on your own.
Plus, you can use the Amazon platform to expand your business on a global scale. There’s a whole world out there just waiting to pay for your products—but if you’ve never before navigated the world of exporting, figuring out how to sell to international customers can be intimidating.
But with 11 global marketplaces, 109 worldwide fulfillment centers, and customers in 180 countries, Amazon makes it easy for small businesses to break into international exporting.
Use Fulfillment by Amazon to quickly and easily fulfill international orders on the Global Amazon Marketplace. And check out the Amazon Global Selling portal, which can help you navigate tax and regulatory considerations for the countries you may be shipping to.
Whether you’re selling products domestically or abroad, setting up your small business on Amazon will take some time and attention. And the costs associated with selling on Amazon do take a notch out of your profit margins. But when you start to see your sales increase after working with this retail giant, you’ll thank yourself for that extra input.
