Pricing and Fees
How much does it cost to sell on Amazon Global Selling?
The cost to sell with Amazon Global Selling depends on your selling plan, product category, fulfillment strategy, and other variables. The options are flexible, so you can find the combo that works best for you and your goals. Learn more about selling plans, referral fees, fulfillment fees and other costs here.
Are there any grants available for sellers?
Yes, there are currently 2 available grants for Singapore and Malaysia SMEs. For additional information, please see here.
Will there be any tax imposed on my products?
Yes. The seller is responsible for export Customs Fees (if any) and the buyer is responsible for any import Customs Fees related to their purchase. Customs Fees paid by any party (if any) are in addition to the sales proceeds collected by Amazon. For more additional information about shipping products internationally, see important information for international sellers here.
How and when will I be paid?
When your Amazon Global Selling account is settled and you have a positive balance, Amazon sends the money to your bank account using an Automated Clearing House (ACH) or electronic funds transfer. It can take up to five business days for the money to appear in your bank account after Amazon initiates a payment.
Before we can pay you, you must provide a valid bank account as the Deposit Method in your seller account settings. We cannot make payments to a credit card or online payment system, such as PayPal.

Which currency will I be paid in?
Once your bank account is registered, all payments will be automatically made to that account in the local currency of the bank location country using Amazon Currency Converter for Sellers.
Account Registration
What documents are required to register to be an Amazon seller?
Refer to the Amazon seller registration guide for more details.
What’s the difference between an individual and professional seller account? Which one should I choose?
The Individual plan costs US$0.99 per sale, while sellers using the Professional plan pay US$39.99 per month*, no matter how many items you sell. If you sell more than 40 items a month, and wish to have access to brand tools such as advertising features specific to brand stores, the Professional option makes a lot of sense. Whichever plan you select, don’t worry about making the wrong choice — you can change plans at any time. Learn more about selling plans here.
I have registered to be an Amazon seller and they are requiring me to put my credit/debit card details on the billing stage. Will I be charged after proceeding this?
You will only be charged when you have completed the registration process and all Seller documentation has been approved.
Amazon Prime and Amazon FBA
Why should I use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)?
If you’re using Amazon’s FBA program, and you have enough inventory to spread around through our fulfillment network, then your product will qualify for the Amazon Prime. Selling Prime is key to being successful on Amazon as it means your products will be shipped to customers within 2 days to all 50 states. Plus, you get the “Amazon Prime” badge on your listing, which means you’ll have a better chance of selling your product.

How much does Amazon FBA cost?
With Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), you only pay for the services you use. There are no subscription fees, contracts or minimum inventory requirements. Ship your products to our fulfillment centres in the US and pay for fulfillment services and storage space used. See how to determine the product size tier for your items here.
If I use Amazon FBA, what courier service do I use to send my stocks to your warehouse in the US?
You can visit this page for a list of service providers.

How do I get started on product research and ensure I find profitable products to sell??
