Read on!"},"content":{"rendered":"

You\u2019ve already seen how easy it is to get started<\/a> selling on Amazon\u2019s Marketplace, and this is definitely the place for you to begin. For those just starting out without deep pockets for marketing, \u201cAmazon is by far the best online marketplace for small businesses who do not<\/a> have a big advertising budget,\u201d says Bing Yang of Augustina Jewellery. If you\u2019re already selling in an online market, you will be delighted to see how simple it is to move business to Amazon. But, even if you\u2019ve never sold anything on the Internet, you\u2019ll be on your way in no time. For a new seller, you can\u2019t beat the fact that listing your items for sale on Amazon is free.<\/p>

That\u2019s right, you don\u2019t pay a thing unless your item sells. Whether you list a single item or start out<\/a> with dozens, your only cost will be in commissions when your items sell. Then you\u2019ll pay Amazon<\/a> a flat 15 percent commission on the sales price. Amazon will charge your customers a set fee for shipping and handling, and if you buy your supplies carefully , that allowance usually more than covers your costs.<\/p>

Amazon has its upsides<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>
The items you put up for sale on Amazon<\/a> remain listed for 60 days (unless they\u2019re purchased, of course). After this 60-day period, Amazon sends you an e-mail inviting you to relist for another 60-day period if the item doesn\u2019t sell. Because you don\u2019t have to pay to list, you can easily test out new items for your product line as you get started. If you think you\u2019ve come across a good item, go ahead\u2014list it and see. You\u2019ll know soon enough whether you\u2019ve found a winner, and you won\u2019t risk much as you lower the sails and look around. Charise Richards of OneChicBoutique thinks Amazon is the best online selling venue, partly for that very reason. Amazon has just \u201cone price to list as many items as you want, with only a final fee on sales<\/a> only! Great system, \u201cshe says. Amazon customers have been sold on the Amazon philosophy that the customer comes first and that a guarantee is behind every purchase. You should know before you go any further that your customer will expect the very same from you. This philosophy empowers customers and forces sellers to bring their A games when they come to Amazon. Andy Mowery of dobro has heard people suggest: \u201cI\u2019m an Amazon buyer, so don\u2019t mess with me.\u201d Amazon\u2019s A-to-z Guarantee is virtually bulletproof, Andy says. For Amazon buyers, \u201cIt\u2019s like they have a club in their hands.\u201d So be prepared to shield yourself with excellent products, prices, and customer service. If you can\u2019t make this promise to yourself and your customers, you simply won\u2019t thrive on Amazon.<\/div>
Behind all those high customer expectations is the knowledge that Amazon offers an ironclad guarantee. Here\u2019s how Amazon describes its A-to-z Guarantee program to customers:<\/div>
We want you to buy with confidence anytime you purchase products on Amazon.com. That is why we guarantee purchases from Amazon Marketplace, Auctions, and Merchant sellers when payment is made via the Amazon.com website. The condition of the item you buy and its timely delivery are guaranteed under the Amazon.com A-to-z Guarantee.<\/div>
No wonder some Amazon customers feel they have a club to protect them! But this guarantee also helps sellers by making buyers more comfortable with doing business on the site. As long as you\u2019re prepared to meet the standards, you\u2019ll find yourself offering your items to serious and dedicated customers. They\u2019ll trust you, because you\u2019re on Amazon, and you can trust that they simply want to make their purchases and move on. The levels of buyer fraud are greatly reduced when this type of trust is built into the marketplace.<\/div><\/div>
