UI (Seller Central & AEM accounts only)

AEM Considerations #MonCon

Considerations before moving to single AEM
account:

 If you already sell on multiple EU marketplaces:
 You will lose your feedback history in non-domestic
marketplaces
 You need to re-list your inventory in non-domestic
marketplaces

 Do benefits outweigh above consideration?
 Amazon continues to support the prior structure


AEM Information #MonCon

 Each Amazon marketplace must be enabled and disabled
separately in Monsoon
 Amazon UK, FR, and DE can each have their own listing
rules

that market- ASIN required
