Create an account with Amazon.com if you do not already have one. Your login for Amazon.com will be your email address and you will need to create a password.

STEP 2 – Visit The My Account Page

Make sure you are signed in on your Amazon account and click on my account in the upper right hand corner. This will open a page full of links for your personal account.

STEP 3 – Go To Your Seller Account

Click on “Your Seller Account” in the right sidebar toward the top of the page. You will then be prompted to sign in again with your Amazon login information.

STEP 4 – Your Amazon Seller Account Settings

Using the navigation tabs at the top left, click on the “Settings” tab. This will bring you to the page where you will all of the different account settings that are required to be an active seller on Amazon. These settings include:
– Selling Plan
– Listings Status
– Seller Information
– Business Address
– Legal Entity
– Deposit Method
– Charge Method
– Return Information

STEP 5 – Choosing a Selling Plan

The first choice you will need to make is what type of selling plan you need. Your choices are “Individual” or “Professional”. The “Individual” plan is free and can be used for selling products that already have another listing or for many simple listings. Creating a new product in some categories may require you to have a “Professional” plan. Individuals who reach a high rate of sales will often choose to go on the “Professional” plan to have a lower fee rate. Like other venues such as Ebay, there are selling fees that are deducted from your revenue for sales on Amazon. The “Professional” plan requires a monthly fee of $39.99.
