While it may seem you need to build up a wealth of expertise in the sector, Amazon owns a <strong>friendly-user interface<\/strong> that allows you to follow quick and easy steps, which have been collected in this article.<\/p>\n<p>As the fastest-growing channel, Amazon allows sellers to <strong>reach millions of potential customers<\/strong> worldwide. In fact, half of the units sold in Amazon come from independent sellers, specially small and medium brands. <\/p>\n<h2><b>What should you know before start selling on Amazon?<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3>Choose your personalised plan<\/h3>\n<p>Firstly, before creating an account, you have to decide which plan best suits your ecommerce business. Take into account that whichever plan you choose, you can change them at any time. Amazon offers the possibility to <strong>choose between two plans: individual or professional<\/strong>. For both plans, for each sale Amazon collects an additional fee of the total transaction, which depends on the product category.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But, what are the differences?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Individual: <\/strong>every time you sell a product, you\u2019ll have to pay EUR 0.95.
