Selling On Amazon So You Can Work From Home Online
with Amazon
If you have extra items lying around the house, one great place to sell it is Amazon.com. You
can sell any item that’s listed by Amazon on Amazon’s website. In other words, if you have a
blender that Amazon sells, you can list your used blender on their site.
If Amazon doesn’t sell the item, you’re better off listing on eBay. On the other hand, if Amazon
does have the item, you’re often better off on Amazon. For example, say you have a used book.
While people seldom search for books on eBay, millions of people search for books on Amazon
every week.
For items that are popular on Amazon, list your item on Amazon. All other items and especially
items that aren’t listed on Amazon should be sold elsewhere.
How Much Does it Cost?
There are two different plans you can opt for: the Individual plan or the Professional plan.
With the individual plan, you pay $0.99 per item plus other fees. With the Professional plan, you
don’t have to pay the $0.99 fee but you pay $39.99 a month to subscribe. In other words, if you
plan on selling more than 40 items a month, it makes sense to become a professional seller. If
not, then stick with the individual plan.
Apart from the per item fee, you have the Amazon referral fee and the variable closing fee. Each
of these fees vary from item to item.
For example, with books the referral fee is 15% and the closing fee is $1.35. If you’re an
individual seller and you sell a $10 book, you’re looking at:
$10 Base Price
- 15% ($1.50) for referral fee
- $1.35 for closing fee
- $0.99 per item fee
So your total take home amount will be $6.16.
Accountability Systems
Amazon has a seller review system that enables buyers to rate sellers on a scale of one to five.
If people who buy from you are satisfied, you’ll have a high rating. If not, you’ll have a low rating.
Before buying, people can see how previous buyers rated you.
Ratings are based on the aggregate of your previous 12 months. They’re expressed in
percentage form – In other words, if nine out of ten of your customers are satisfied, you’ll have a
90% positive rating.

What condition is your product in? Make sure you describe any physical flaws in detail.
Step 7: Price Your Book
Amazon will let you know what other sellers are pricing their books for. You can either price
yours above this and let your book sit for a while before selling; or you can undercut the
competition and get your book sold as quickly as possible.

How many of these items are you looking to sell? Only sell multiple items in the same listing if
they’re in the same condition. Otherwise, create a separate listing for each item of a different
condition.
Step 9: Shipping Charges
Choose which shipping option(s) you want to accept. Amazon will charge enough to cover your
shipping costs. Amazon pays for the shipping for you; all you need to do is print out the shipping
label from Amazon once you receive your order.

Tips for Selling Success on Amazon
1. Protect your rating. Much like selling on eBay or any other platform, your rating is crucial
to your long term success. Aim for a 100% positive rating at all times.
2. Ship immediately whenever you get an order. The faster you can get your buyers their
item, the more likely they are to leave you with a positive rating.

3. Include a quick note in the package. It could be a printed note or a handwritten note,
depending on how much effort you want to put into it. This personal touch just helps add
a bit of connection to you and your customer’s relationship.
That’s how to sell on Amazon! If you have items like books, magazines or CDs, selling on
Amazon is usually a better bet than selling on eBay.
