Amazon Tutorial – Learn to Sell in 5 Minutes

Posted by Suzanne Wells Published in Amazon

Selling on Amazon is fast and easy. In fact, listing an item on Amazon only takes a few seconds. There are quite a few differences between eBay and Amazon. A few benefits of selling on Amazon:

1) It is free to list on Amazon. You don’t pay anything until your item sells.

2) You don’t have to take pictures or write listings. Amazon is set up like a catalog. Just enter the UPC code or ISBN number on your item and the item will pop up. Assign a price, and you are done.

3) There is no such thing as an unpaid item on Amazon – Paypal is not involved. Customers pay by credit card, Amazon handles the transaction, and you get paid every 2 weeks by direct deposit into your checking account.

4) Amazon assigns shipping credits. You don’t have to figure out how much to charge for shipping.

5) You can outsource your shipping to Amazon through their fulfillment program. Box up your items, ship them to an Amazon distribution center, and they will ship everything for you. Spend your time finding things to sell rather than shipping. Find out more about Amazon’s fulfillment program here.
