With the expansion of the e-commerce market, many friends have seen cross-border projects. Today, we will take you to understand the cross-border e-commerce Amazon platform from the outside to the inside.
1. Two modes of Amazon operation
Amazon (FBM) self-delivery mode
Self-delivery means that Amazon only serves as a sales platform and the seller’s own supply channel. After a customer places an order in the store, the international express parcel is delivered to the hands of foreign customers, but the speed is generally 10-20 days, which is called the self-delivery mode
Amazon (FBA) Amazon delivery mode
Amazon warehousing and delivery refers to preparing goods in advance to the overseas Amazon warehouse. After the store places an order, the Amazon warehouse delivers it directly to the customer, which is basically the same as the operation mode of JD.COM warehousing, with fast timeliness and high customer experience.
2. Amazon website and registered store requirements
At present, Amazon has more than ten sites such as North America, Europe, and Asia, which can be delivered to 65 countries.
Registration requires a business license, dual-currency credit card, and VAT number. 25 pounds per month.
Registering on Amazon, no matter which website, basically requires a company business license + bill (company or legal person) + dual-currency credit card. So individuals, registering a company, can basically open the road to Amazon and make money from foreigners.
Three, language communication issues
On Amazon, there is no customer service like Wangwang in China. On Amazon, they contact by email and reply within 24 hours.
Amazon’s backend page can use Chinese, English and other languages, there is no problem here. But Amazon is all its own language on the list page, such as English in the United States, French in France, and so on.
Four, funding issues
Why is Amazon’s threshold high, because there is still a little requirement for funds. At present, Amazon pays once every 14 days, that is, the money on the account is transferred to your third-party collection account (there are many collection companies in China at present, all of which are safe), and then returns your domestic bank card through the third-party collection account.
Amazon still has a certain prospect, because cross-border e-commerce is very unfamiliar to many Chinese sellers, and most people feel that the threshold is relatively high, which restricts a large number of people, plus the support for cross-border e-commerce is also very large now. The market is still quite considerable, and compared with domestic e-commerce, the competitiveness is not that great.
