Creating an Amazon Seller Account involves a few steps that include gathering necessary information, choosing a selling plan, and setting up your account. Here's a detailed guide on how to create one:
Step 1: Gather Required Information
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
• Business Information: Your legal business name, address, and contact information.
• Email Address: Preferably an email address dedicated to your Amazon business.
• Credit Card: A valid international credit card for billing purposes.
• Bank Account Information: For receiving payments from Amazon.
• Tax Information: This could include your tax identification number (TIN) or other relevant tax documents (varies by country).
• Phone Number: For account verification.
Step 2: Choose a Selling Plan
Amazon offers two types of selling plans:
1. Individual Selling Plan:
o No monthly fee, but Amazon charges $0.99 per sale, plus referral and variable closing fees.
o Best for sellers with fewer than 40 items sold per month.
2. Professional Selling Plan:
o Monthly subscription fee of $39.99, plus referral and variable closing fees.
o Best for sellers who plan to sell more than 40 items per month and want access to advanced selling tools like bulk listings.
Step 3: Visit Amazon Seller Central
• Go to Amazon Seller Central.
• Click on "Sign Up" or "Start Selling."
Step 4: Sign In or Create an Amazon Account
• If you already have an Amazon account, you can use that to sign in. Otherwise, create a new account using your email address.
Step 5: Enter Your Business Information
• Follow the prompts to enter your business information such as your business name, address, and contact details.
Step 6: Provide Tax Information
• Complete the tax information interview, where Amazon will ask for your tax identification number (TIN) or similar information depending on your location.
Step 7: Enter Payment Information
• Add your credit card and bank account details. The credit card will be used to pay for fees, while your bank account will be used to receive payments.
Step 8: Choose Your Amazon Marketplace
• Select the regions and marketplaces where you want to sell (e.g., Amazon.com for the US, Amazon.co.uk for the UK).
Step 9: Set Up Your Seller Profile
• Customize your seller profile by adding a business logo, description, and other details to make your store more attractive to buyers.
Step 10: List Your Products
• Once your account is set up, you can start listing products by clicking on "Inventory" and then "Add a Product."
• You can add products individually or in bulk using a CSV file for Professional Seller accounts.
Step 11: Verify Your Identity (If Required)
Amazon may require you to verify your identity. This can include submitting documentation like a utility bill or business registration document.
Step 12: Start Selling
Once your account is verified and your products are listed, your Amazon Seller account is ready, and you can begin selling.

This community is for professional and enthusiast users, partners and programmers. You can ask questions about:

  • how to install Odoo on a specific infrastructure,
  • how to configure or customize Odoo to specific business needs,
  • what's the best way to use Odoo for a specific business need,
  • how to develop modules for your own need,
  • specific questions about Odoo service offers, etc.

Before you ask - please make sure to search for a similar question. You can search questions by their title or tags. It’s also OK to answer your own question.

Please avoid asking questions that are too subjective and argumentative or not relevant to this community.

You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of this site and push other questions off the front page.

To prevent your question from being flagged and possibly removed, avoid asking subjective questions where …

  • every answer is equally valid: “What’s your favorite ______?”
  • your answer is provided along with the question, and you expect more answers: “I use ______ for ______, what do you use?”
  • there is no actual problem to be solved: “I’m curious if other people feel like I do.”
  • we are being asked an open-ended, hypothetical question: “What if ______ happened?”
  • it is a rant disguised as a question: “______ sucks, am I right?”

If you fit in one of these example or if your motivation for asking the question is “I would like to participate in a discussion about ______”, then you should not be asking here but on our mailing lists. However, if your motivation is “I would like others to explain ______ to me”, then you are probably OK.

  • Answers shouldn't just point to other Questions. Instead add a question comment indication "Possible duplicate of...". However, it's ok to include links to other questions or answers providing relevant additional information.
  • Answers shouldn't just provide a link a solution. Instead provide the solution description text in your answer, even if it's just a copy/paste. Links are welcome, but should be complementary to answer, referring sources or additional reading.

Answers should not start debates This community Q&A is not a discussion group. Please avoid holding debates in your answers as they tend to dilute the essence of questions and answers. For brief discussions please use commenting facility.

When a question or answer is upvoted, the user who posted them will gain some points, which are called "karma points". These points serve as a rough measure of the community trust to him/her. Various moderation tasks are gradually assigned to the users based on those points.

For example, if you ask an interesting question or give a helpful answer, your input will be upvoted. On the other hand if the answer is misleading - it will be downvoted. Each vote in favor will generate 10 points, each vote against will subtract 2 points. There is a limit of 200 points that can be accumulated for a question or answer per day. The table given at the end explains reputation point requirements for each type of moderation task.

The goal of this site is create a relevant knowledge base that would answer questions related to Odoo.

Therefore questions and answers can be edited like wiki pages by experienced users of this site in order to improve the overall quality of the knowledge base content. Such privileges are granted based on user karma level: you will be able to do the same once your karma gets high enough.

If this approach is not for you, please respect the community.
