Before embarking on the journey of cross-border e-commerce, registering an Amazon store is one of the first tasks. This article will provide sellers with detailed steps and costs for registering an Amazon store, as well as some suggestions and precautions.
Cost of registering a business license
First, sellers need to consider the cost of registering a business license. Usually, financial companies provide free registration services, but the representative account fee is about 2,000 yuan per year. Adding various seals and miscellaneous fees, it may cost about 3,000 yuan to register a company. In addition, do not ignore tax issues after registration, because abnormal business licenses may lead to the closure of Amazon stores and cause unnecessary losses.
Opening an Amazon store
Once the seller has obtained a business license, he can start registering an Amazon store. For novice sellers, it is recommended to start with the North American site. The United States, Mexico, and Canada share FBA warehouses, so when sellers register for the US site, it is also recommended to open the other two sites at the same time.
Choose a professional seller plan
During the registration process, sellers need to choose a professional seller plan. It is necessary to pay Amazon a monthly store rent of $39.9, which will be deducted directly from the seller’s credit card. After registration and selection, the seller will officially launch the seller’s Amazon store.
Logistics and transportation selection
In the early stage, it is very important to choose the right logistics method. It is recommended to use four express companies in the United States to send goods to the FBA warehouse. Although the express delivery fee is higher, the time and reliability of the express delivery service will be more guaranteed. Depending on the different product selections, the cost of the first shipment may be around 1,000 yuan, and the specific cost depends on the product type and transportation distance.
Through the above steps and suggestions, sellers can successfully register and launch the seller’s Amazon store. Remember to carefully choose logistics and transportation methods, and make sure to follow all tax regulations to ensure the smooth operation of the seller’s store.
