Click "Sign Up" to start your registration.

Step 2: Choose a Seller Plan

You will be asked to select between two types of plans:

Individual Plan – No monthly fee, but $0.99 per item sold

Amazon will request:

These documents must be clear, high-quality scans (PDF or JPEG)

Amazon may also ask for a live video verification through your webcam.

Step 6: Add Bank Account and Credit Card

Add a bank account that can receive USD (Wise Business, Payoneer, or a US bank account)

Choose your store name (can be brand-related)

Set your return address (use a US forwarding address if needed)

Configure shipping settings

Set up tax information (Amazon will guide you based on your country)
