List Products
Once you are ready to ship your first products to Amazon, you will need to list and ship your products in order to make them available for sale to Amazon’s massive consumer base.
You can choose to ship any product directly from you to the customer once it sells (which is called Fulfilled by Merchant, or MF) or you can have Amazon store the product in one of their many warehouses (they’ll tell you which one) and then Amazon will ship the product for you to the buying customer if/when it sells (this is called Fulfilled By Amazon or FBA). If you live outside the US, you’ll be using ONLY FBA and you’ll need to work with a prep partner from the list found on this website. A prep partner gets your inventory properly labeled for you and sends it to your assigned Amazon warehouse.
“PREPPING” your inventory for FBA:
We have several videos available to teach you this process. These training videos are available in our learning portal under the Amazon Seller Central Basics section, but that may not be the most comprehensive place to learn all of Amazon’s current expectations. Please note that Amazon often changes the “look/feel” of their site as well as the policies that sellers must adhere to. As you are learning the basics of preparing your shipments, you will almost certainly find it quite helpful to refer to the following page that is hosted by Amazon: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/learn. That page contains all of the most recent official Amazon training videos that show you the exact selling procedures that you’ll need to follow and it will “look/feel” exactly like Amazon constantly changing seller interface.
If you’re doing your own prep, we also have all new prep training recorded in 2023 that shows you how to get your prep area set up, and how to prep ANY item you’ll ever sell on Amazon!
Don’t be intimidated!
Once you’ve sent in one or two shipments, you’ll be “PREPPING” like a pro! It’s not rocket science, and we are all here to help you in our student Facebook group!
