Amazon makes it easy to become a seller. It takes around 5 minutes to sign up. To sell items on Amazon you must have a credit card. It does not cost anything to become a seller they only need you credit card verify the information you provided .

To become an Amazon seller you then must create a company name. After you create and name and confirm your email you can start listing items to sell.

Unlike ebay it does not cost to list an item on Amazon. When an item sells Amazon will then take a commission out of the total sale. The total commission depends on the total sale.

Some problems with Amazon are if you cannot find a product in their catalog you cannot sell it. The only way one can add new products to the Amazon catalog is to become a pro merchant. A pro merchant costs $39.99 a month and you can add new products to the catalog.

Amazon makes selling really easy due to the many advanced features one has. You have product lists that show all your products along with the prices and which seller has the lowest price. Also you have many graphs to show how your company is doing. One great feature is the Vacation setting. If you have to leave for a while like a vacation or family emergency you can put your products on the Vacation setting, where no one can buy your products.
