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.

Consumer trends shaping e-commerce in Poland

Customers shopping on Amazon PL are driven by three growing expectations: fast and seamless delivery, a distinct price sensitivity where attractive deals and clear product value outweigh mere brand loyalty, and a goal-oriented shopping mindset, where buyers visit the store with a clearly defined need and expect the offer to meet it immediately. Sellers who understand these dynamics can position their product range to meet demand instead of simply trying to keep up with it.

Order fulfillment speed is one of the key purchasing factors in the Polish market. Enrolling products in the Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) programme grants listings the Prime badge, signalling a guaranteed, fast delivery to customers.

For small, fast-moving products, the reduced fee threshold of the Low-Price FBA programme makes it possible to maintain a competitive price without compromising margins. Both solutions are managed directly within Seller Central, where the FBA Revenue Calculator allows you to model costs before making a decision.

When it comes to visibility, Polish e-commerce is a high-intent environment where Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands ads showcase your listings to shoppers actively searching for specific items.

Combining paid visibility with A+ Content available through Amazon Brand Registry strengthens the listing itself, building trust at the exact moment a price-sensitive customer makes their final decision. New sellers on Amazon PL can also benefit from advertising credits and branded sales incentives through the New Seller Incentives programme, reducing the cost of generating their first sales results.

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.
1.
Title
Up to 200 characters, each word begins with a capital letter
2.
Images
500 x 500 or 1 000 x 1 000 pixels to increase listing quality
3.
Variations
Such as different colours, scents, or sizes
4.
Bullet points
Short, descriptive sentences highlighting key features and benefits
5.
Featured Offer ("Buy Box")
The featured offer on a detail page. Customers can add to their cart or “Buy Now”
6.
Other Offers
The same product sold by multiple sellers offering a different price, shipping options, etc.
7.
Description
Keywords improve the chances that people will find your listing

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.

How to Turn Positive Feedback into More Visibility on Amazon PL

Positive customer feedback improves the visibility of a product on Amazon PL because it affects the conversion rate that the Amazon search algorithm uses to rank in the results. An offer that regularly turns visitors into buyers will be displayed higher in the search engine.

The simplest and fully policy-compliant way to systematically gather feedback on Amazon is to use the ‘Request a review’ button available in Seller Central, which sends a single, Amazon-approved request to the buyer after the order is delivered.

Retailers registered with the Amazon Brand Registry have access to additional tools that allow you to turn feedback knowledge into concrete improvements to your listing. A+ Content makes it possible to translate the features most frequently praised by customers into detailed images, comparison tables, and a brand story description on the product page.

When the language used by buyers in reviews is reflected in the listing content and A+ modules, the product page better matches queries searched by real customers, improving both relevance and click-through rate. For new products on Amazon PL, consider the Amazon Vine program, which connects registered ASINs with trusted reviewers and helps build an early feedback base in a way that is fully compliant with Amazon policies.

Products with a solid feedback profile work much more effectively in Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands campaigns. A buyer who sees a well-rated product in a paid highlight is more likely to click and make a purchase, which lowers the cost of advertising and supports organic ranking growth.

Check Seller Central's listing quality dashboard regularly to identify where improvements can be made based on review content, and monitor your account health to ensure your listings remain eligible for a featured listing.

How to measure sales results on Amazon PL

Key metrics to monitor on Amazon PL fall into four categories that you can track directly within Seller Central: account health, listing conversion, advertising performance, and inventory management results. Each category describes a different aspect of the business, and together they provide a comprehensive overview of your sales performance on Amazon PL.

The account balance is the starting point. Seller Central tracks the Order Defect Rate, pre-fulfillment cancellation rate, and late shipment rate in real time. Maintaining a defective order rate below 1%, cancellations below 2.5%, and delays below 4% is required to maintain active seller status.

Equally important is the Unit Session Percentage rate available in the Business Reports section, which shows the percentage of product page visits that result in a purchase and serves as a direct metric of the effectiveness of listing content, pricing, and images.

On the ad side, Sponsored Ads campaigns in Seller Central report both ACoS, which is the ratio of ad spend to sales attributed to ads, and TACos, which is the ratio of total ad spend to total revenue that includes organic sales. A falling TACoS over time signifies growing organic visibility and less reliance on paid traffic.

Sellers using Fulfilment by Amazon can track their Inventory Performance Index (IPI) within the Seller Central dashboard, which measures the efficiency of FBA inventory management. A high IPI score allows you to avoid storage volume limits and maintain product availability with the Prime badge for Amazon PL customers.

Referral fees, FBA fulfilment fees, and storage costs are detailed in the Payments Dashboard and the Fee and Economics Preview reports, allowing you to calculate the actual margin at SKU level without relying on external estimates. Regularly monitoring this data in Seller Central makes it possible to combine advertising spend, conversions, and fee structures into a single, cohesive picture of profitability on Amazon PL.
