Let Us Manage Your Seller Central Account
As the world’s largest e-commerce platform, Amazon provides businesses like yours with an incredible opportunity to reach millions of online shoppers across the world. If you choose to sell your products on Amazon, the platform has two unique portals through which you can manage your account - Vendor Central or Seller Central.
As Amazon Vendors, sellers act as first-party merchants, selling their products directly to Amazon, which then turns around and sells those products to consumers. With a Seller Central account, you act as a third-party merchant or marketplace seller, offering your products to customers directly. Seller Central offers several advantages over the Vendor Central selling platform, including:
- Greater control
- Better analytics
- Open to any seller
- More room to maneuver
- Direct access to Amazon customers
- Opportunities for greater margins
Getting Started with Seller Central
While Vendor Central is available to sellers on an invite-only basis, anyone can sign up for a Seller Central account at any time. You can register on Seller Central as either an individual or a professional seller, each subject to different pricing structures. Individuals are charged $.99 per item sold with no monthly fee while professionals pay $39.99/month to sell an unlimited number of products.
