Before you start
Choose a selling plan
With the Individual plan, you'll pay €0.99 every time you sell a product. The Professional plan costs €39 per month, regardless of the number of products you sell. For both plans, Amazon also charges a referral fee for each sale, which is a percentage of the total transaction and varies by product category. Visit our Pricing page for a summary of selling fees.

Consider your sales strategy
Resellers find popular products that already exist and sell them in Amazon stores.
Brand owners manufacture their own products (or source products to sell under their own branding) to offer shoppers a unique selection.
Many selling partners do both. You can choose whichever method works best to help you achieve your goals.

Learn from the most successful sellers
For new Amazon sellers, the first 90 days are especially critical in establishing best practices that can accelerate performance after launch. Amazon data refer to the use of five selling programmes (Brand Registry, Fulfilment by Amazon, A+ Content, Automated Pricing, and Advertising) within those first 90 days as Perfect Launch. New sellers using these five tools within that critical timeframe can generate sales more quickly, as many of the most successful sellers already have done.
Understand your customers
Becoming an Amazon selling partner allows your business to target business customers (B2B) and individual consumers (B2C) right from the outset as a partner. When you add listings, they will automatically be available to both groups, allowing you to maximise the potential of a single seller account.
B2C customers
- 300 million active customer accounts worldwide
- Millions of products delivered in more than 200 countries and territories
- 150 million Prime customers worldwide
- More than 50% of all product orders are sold by our selling partners to third parties
B2B customers
- Millions of registered business customers ranging from small businesses to large companies (more than 50% of the top 100 companies on the London Stock Exchange (FTSE) are UK business customers.)
- On average, B2B customers have larger baskets than B2C customers.
- On average, B2B customers return products less often.
- Use B2B tools that help you make the most of your growth potential with business customers.
- Learn about the needs of B2B customers using in-demand selection recommendations.
- More than 50% of all product orders are sold by our selling partners to third parties
Create an Amazon seller account
You can use your customer account to start selling, or you can create a new Amazon seller account with your business email address. Before you sign up, make sure you have the following ready:
- Business email address or Amazon customer account
- Chargeable credit card (international credit cards are also accepted)
- Valid passport or national ID card (identity verification protects sellers and customers)
- Company registration details (with VAT number if possible)
- Phone number
- A bank account where Amazon can send you the proceeds from your sales

Amazon terminology:
Seller Central
Seller Central is the website where sellers log in to monitor their Amazon sales activity. You can manage your inventory, update prices, communicate with buyers, review your account status, contact selling partner support, and add new products.
Understanding your VAT requirements
Depending on the nature of your business, you may need to register for a VAT number in a European country to comply with regulations. This depends on factors such as business location, fulfilment model and annual sales. Understanding the various VAT requirements and knowing how to comply with them will contribute to a smooth selling experience on Amazon.

Product listing details
To start selling a product on Amazon, create a product listing in Seller Central (or via API). A product listing includes:
- A product identifier, such as GTIN, UPC, ISBN or EAN to specify the exact product you're selling. You can get a UPC code directly from GS1, or request an exemption.
- An SKU, which is a product identifier that you create to track your own inventory
- Offer details, including price, product condition, quantity available, and shipping options
- Product details such as name, brand, category, description and images
- Keywords and search terms to help shoppers find your product
If another seller already offers the same product, you'll match an existing listing (meaning that some details will already be in place, such as the product identifier). If you're the first seller to offer a certain product, you'll create a new listing.
Amazon terminology:
ASIN
Every product for sale on Amazon gets an automatically generated ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number), which is different from a GTIN or SKU. Multiple sellers may sell the same ASIN.
Product detail page
Offer details will be displayed on a "product detail page". If you've ever shopped on Amazon.com, you've seen one. Product detail pages are where customers can find all relevant information about a particular product.
When multiple sellers offer the same product, Amazon combines data from those offers on a single detail page. Sellers who offer the product can contribute detailed information on the page, or can request detailed revisions to the page if the information displayed is incorrect.
If you sell your products under a registered brand, consider enrolling in Amazon Brand Registry, a free service that gives you greater control over the product detail pages that use your brand.
