What is FBA?

As we said, Amazon created new services not only for customers but also for sellers. This time, platform came up with a new service – FBA. Amazon FBA is also called Fulfillment by Amazon, and the name, as we think, speaks for itself. Everything you should’ve done while selling on Amazon will be handled by the platform itself. As Amazon says, during this FBA program, you sell it, Amazon ships it! What you basically do is you store all your products in Amazon’s fulfillment centers. There, all the previously mentioned products are picked packed and shipped directly to the customer who ordered those products. If you want to scale your business, have more shoppers who’re interested in your products, you can use fulfillment by Amazon, it works!

How to Sell on Amazon with FBA?

But First, Let’s Open an Amazon Seller Account!

If you decided to sell on Amazon, you should, first of all, have an Amazon seller central account. To open an account, “you can use your customer account to start selling, or you can create a new Amazon seller account with your business email.” To sign up, you will need basic documents and information, such as:

  • Business email address or Amazon customer account (make sure you include the right email address, even that counts on Amazon!)
  • Government ID
  • Chargeable Credit Card
  • Tax Information
  • Phone Number
  • Bank Account Information

Having a seller central account means that you’re already an Amazon third party seller, who is ready to provide one of the most ultimate customer services, and sell one of the best products across the entire platform!

You did your research, and found that one special product on Amazon that is worth to be sold. Now you are ready to sell this product and provide a good customer service to Amazon customers. But there’s a small problem, you don’t know how… Some sellers decide to learn from their own mistakes, and some decide to trust Amazon and learn from its operations. To do that, you need to create your listings!

Create Some Listings and Then We’ll Talk!

Your next step would be creating a product listing. If you want to present your products and sell them on Amazon, you should create listings for your product. What’s more, you can avoid creating a new product listing by Apart from creating another listing, you can match your products to other, already created listings (if you want to avoid headaches, of course). If you are the only one who’s selling it, you need to create your own listings for that very product, if you’re not, you can just match them! If you are an individual seller, you have to list all your products separately, meanwhile, a professional selling account will allow you to list products in bulk.

However, listing for FBA is a little bit different… As Amazon says, “after you create a new listing for a product, you specify it as FBA inventory by changing the Fulfilled by value from Merchant to Amazon.” This is how you mark all those products that need to be sent to Amazon! If you have a product to sell, you should have a special listing for that – that’s the golden rule of Amazon. If you want to sell on Amazon and succeed, make sure you take care of your product listings: they’re important!

Products, Products and again, Products…

Now that you have a listing and products that are specified for fulfillment by Amazon, you should prepare those items. This should be handled according to Amazon’s policies and requirements. If you want to send high-quality and not defective products to Amazon, you should follow Amazon’s packaging requirements, since this is something Amazon pays attention on! If you want Amazon to prepare your products for you, select Amazon under the Who Preps section.

We’re Almost Done…

Now that you have everything ready, you can send your products to Amazon. For this, Amazon third party sellers, first of all, create your own shipping plan, print all those Amazon shipment ID labels, and ship your products to Amazon fulfillment centers.
