Before you start

Choose a selling plan

With the Individual plan, you’ll pay 4 PLN every time you sell an item. The Professional plan costs 165.91 PLN per month, no matter how many items you sell. Amazon also charges a referral fee on each sale, which is a percentage of the total transaction and varies depending on the product category. Visit our pricing page for a summary of Amazon selling fees.

Consider your selling strategy

Selling on Amazon: Resellers find popular products that already exist and offer them in Amazon stores.

Brand owners make their own products — or source goods to sell under their own brand — to offer shoppers a unique selection.

Lots of sellers do both. You can choose whichever method works for your goals.

Details of creating an offer

To start selling a product on Amazon, you’ll create a product listing in Seller Central (or via API). A product listing includes:
  • A product identifier, such as GTIN, UPC, ISBN, or EAN to specify the exact item you’re selling. The UPC code can be obtained directly from GS1 or request an exemption from the product ID requirement
  • A SKU, which is a product ID you create to track your own inventory
  • Offer details, including price, product condition, available quantity, and shipping options
  • Product details like name, brand, category, description, and images
  • Keywords and search terms to help buyers find your product
If another seller already offer the same product, you’ll match an existing listing (which means some details will already be in place, like the product identifier). If you’re the first seller to offer a product, you’ll create a new listing.

Amazon jargon:

ASIN

Every product offered for sale on Amazon gets an automatically generated ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number), which is different from a GTIN or SKU. Multiple sellers may offer the same ASIN.

The product detail page

A product detail page in Amazon Seller Central that shows where the descriptions lead
Your offer details will be displayed on a “product detail page.” If you’ve ever shopped on Amazon.com, you’ve seen one. Product detail pages are where customers find all of the relevant information about a particular item.

When multiple sellers offer the same product, Amazon combines data from those various offers on a single detail page. Sellers who offer a product can contribute information on the product page or request that it be corrected if the information displayed is incorrect.

If you sell your products under a registered trademark, consider enrolling in Amazon Brand Registry, a free service that gives you increased control over product detail pages that use your brand name.

Amazon jargon:

Featured Offer ("Buy Box")

If more than one seller offers a product, they may compete for the Featured Offer (“Buy Box”), the most visible offers on the product detail page. Sellers must meet performance-based requirements to be eligible for Featured Offer placement.
