Selling on Amazon: Difference Between Basic Account and Pro Account

There are different sellers account formulas on Amazon.

The Basic formula and the Pro formula.

Both allow you to sell FBA.

The Basic formula allows you to open a professional account without having to pay a monthly subscription.
However, you will pay additional costs for each sale.

The Pro plan is a flat rate of € 39 excluding VAT (€ 46.80 including VAT) and allows you to sell an unlimited number of items at no additional cost.

Keep in mind that you can always switch from one formula to another with a few clicks inside your Amazon Seller Central interface.

What are the advantages of selling your products on Amazon?

Instead of creating an e-commerce site, it is much more advantageous to sell your products on Amazon for various reasons:

You automatically benefit from the notoriety of the site

Consumers today are increasingly wary of little-known online store brands. However, by listing your products on Amazon, you can benefit from its notoriety. Aside from that, you also no longer need to create an e-commerce site before starting your own web business.

You have the option to delegate logistics management to Amazon

With Amazon, you can have the choice of either handling shipments yourself or delegating them to them. By having this management flexibility, you can better focus on improving the products you sell.  

You can access different offers

Depending on your preference or your profile, by selling on Amazon, you have access to a multitude of offers. For the vendor central formula, for example, Amazon itself buys your products and all you have to do is ensure replenishment.
