How do I start selling on Amazon?

1. Choose a marketplace for your products

Identify your intended shoppers and initial products in Saudi Arabia, the UAE or Egypt. Review costs, selling prices and available inventory before expanding. The US or a European Amazon marketplace requires a separate review of local marketplace requirements.

2. Review registration eligibility and business information

Seller account requirements vary by marketplace and business registration country. Consult Amazon’s official guide and prepare identity, business, bank and payment information and the documents requested during registration. Match names and addresses before submission; verification and approval are Amazon’s decisions.

3. Prepare product data and listings

Gather product names, barcodes, weights, dimensions, quantities and images. Review category or product approval requirements, then prepare titles, attributes, descriptions and variations. These details also support supply planning and shipping and storage cost estimates.

4. How do I ship products to Amazon?

First distinguish sending inventory to Amazon from delivering customer orders. With Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), you send inventory to the assigned fulfillment center and Amazon fulfills customer orders. Merchant fulfillment uses different arrangements depending on the marketplace and services available to the account.

5. Prepare your FBA shipment before dispatch

After preparing the account and eligible products, create an inventory shipment plan in Seller Central. Check quantities, carton information, unit packaging and labels against your account instructions. Arrange carrier delivery to the plan’s assigned destination, then monitor shipment status and inventory receipt. For cross-border shipments, confirm import, customs and document arrangements with the relevant specialists in advance.

6. Check selling readiness and monitor performance

Confirm purchasing availability, product information and pricing before advertising. Track sales, inventory, account health and costs in clear reports, then identify improvements before increasing supply or advertising budgets.
