Here are the requirements to start selling on Amazon:
- Registered with a professional seller account.
- A business email address or an Amazon customer account.
- A credit card that can be charged (international cards are also accepted).
- A valid passport or ID. Identity verification is essential to ensure the safety of both sellers and customers.
- Business registration details, including a VAT number.
- GS1 codes for the products.
- Brand registration.
Image Requirements:
- At least 85% of the image must be of the product itself.
- Only the product should be in the photo, with minimal or no additional elements.
- The image should accurately represent the product.
- Recommended dimensions are 1000 pixels or more to enable the zoom function (which boosts sales).
- Minimum dimensions are 500 pixels in either width or height.
- JPEG format is preferred, but TIFF and GIF are also accepted.
- Main images should have a pure white background.
Important Considerations for Product Listings:
- A product identifier such as GTIN, UPC, ISBN, or EAN is required to specify the exact product you are selling. You can request a UPC code directly from GS1, or apply for an exemption if eligible.
- A SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a self-created product identifier to manage your own inventory.
- Offer details, including price, product condition, available stock, and shipping options.
- Product details, such as name, brand, category, description, and images.
- Keywords and search terms to help buyers find your product.
