How To Register As A Free Individual Account Seller On Amazon

The first thing to do if you want to start selling on Amazon is to register a seller account. There are 2 types of account, the Individual Account is free but there is an additional Item Fee of US$0.99 for each product sold. The Professional Seller account has a monthly fee of US$39.99 but the Item Fee is waived. You can sign up as a free Individual Seller first and then upgrade to Professional Account when your products start to sell, which maybe a few weeks later. Also only a Professional seller can advertise on Amazon. 

You will also need a bank account in countries like Singapore, USA, Hong Kong to receive money as Amazon cannot pay to a Malaysian bank for now. If you do not have a foreign bank account you may register an account with payoneer.com as a receiving account. You can register online with the above link to receive a one time US$25 bonus when you receive payment of over US$1000. 

The required documents to register your seller accounts are: 

• A jpeg copy of your national ID card, front and back
• Your debit or credit card
• Your bank account statement
• Utility bill
• A foreign bank account or Payoneer account

To register go to amazon.com, scroll down to the bottom and click Sell on Amazon.

Scroll down and click Sign up to become an individual seller, and complete the process.

You should be approved within 3 days if everything is in order. Once approved you can login to your seller central page to manage your seller account. 

Under the Performance Tab > Seller University there are many video tutorials that you can learn how to master the various parts of the Seller Central page.

A few settings that you need to do are:

1. Register as FBA Seller:- Go to Settings > Account Info > Your Services
2. Enable Distribution Placement Service so that you only need to send to one FC:- Go to Settings > Fulfillment by Amazon > Inbound Settings
3. Enable Export so that non-US customers can buy from you:- Go to Settings > Fulfillment by Amazon > Export Settings
   

Now you can start to list your product and send your first shipment. I recommend sending only 10 to 30 units of any new products to try out the market and to avoid costly mistakes.
