Loveland, CO (PressExposure) March 17, 2010 -- So you've decided you have some extra stuff you'd like to sell and you've decided that Amazon is the website for you. So how are you going to sell on Amazon? Well it isn't much of rocket science really, it's as simple as snapping your fingers.
Open the homepage of Amazon, and look around on the bottom left corner of the screen. Near it is a link which says 'Selling on Amazon', click it, and then click on 'Sell your stuff". Common sense so far, don't you think? This will take you to a page which tells you how easy and fast it is to sell on Amazon and how you can just sell your items, first hand or second hand, and get the payment for it without any glitches and fees.
Just below the 'welcome' on the page, you'll need to list the items you are selling in one of the categories given, to organize your items on. You can choose from a number of different options like Sporting Goods, Books etc. and finally 'Everything else'.
If you're having doubts about which category you need to place your item in, just search the keywords of the item you're selling and this will give you the exact place for it Amazon's website. Once you're done with this, click on 'start selling'.
After this, to sell on Amazon you will be required to make a verification of the item you are selling and also select the condition of the item you are putting on sale as well as give a comment about its condition if you wish. (Of course, nobody wants a broken piece of junk now, right?)
Next, you have to fill in a bit of information like the price of your item, the number of items you want to sell on Amazon, your address, and the shipping method you'd like to choose. Don't worry about the cost for shipping the goods, Amazon takes pretty good care of that buy giving you preset credits for it.
Now, you need to sign in. If you already have an account on Amazon, go ahead. Otherwise, make one right away. Once you've done this, just click the 'submit your listing' button below, to finalize everything and finally officially put up your items for sale.
When a buyer fancies the item you are selling, he or she makes the payment to Amazon. Amazon notifies you of this via email right away and gives you easy to follow step by step instructions of what to do next. Do this to send your item. Once the buyer receives the item, he will notify Amazon, which will then release the payment for your article, as well as give you some extra credits for the shipping procedure. Amazon will however cut a small amount of fee from your money. That's how the mutual understanding works. Go ahead and sell on Amazon, good luck!
