hey good afternoon everybody Welcome to
the channel I got asked by a few of you
and I've been asked this over the years
to show how fast it really is to list an
item on Amazon if you decide to start
selling on Amazon versus how long it
takes to list an item on eBay with item
specifics and things like that so
without further Ado I'm just going to go
over to my computer screen and show you
exactly how quick you can list an item
because I think your mind's going to be
blown and it's going to give you kind of
that motivation and push to give Amazon
a try don't forget you can sell on
Amazon as an individual seller for free
it just costs you an extra dollar in
fees for every item that actually sells
than it would cost you if you become a
professional seller for forty dollars a
month so I recommend get an individual
account get your feet wet learn how it
goes sell a few items start learning
what you can and can't sell learn how to
look up items and get yourself used to
it and then you can upgrade to a
professional account after a month or
two of learning how to use it and
getting you know kind of rolling along
so let's go over to my screen I'll show
you how fast it is to sell on Amazon and
then you can decide for yourself if
you'd like to do it I'll put the link
down below where you can sign up to be
an Amazon Seller either for free or for
the 40 a month Amazon store charge and
the rest well folks that's up to you
I'll show you how it's done right over
here

YouTube channel okay so this is the main
Amazon Seller Central page this is not
my actual account because I have a lot
of items with high competition and also
personal information that I don't really
want anyone to see so you have a drop
down menu over here you can go over and
manage all of your inventory you can
manage all of your orders you can do all
that stuff from one page I'll click over
here and show you what the inventory
looks like it's very similar to what you
would see on any other page you can see
that there is this store had a lot of
video games it shows the dates it shows
how many are available the estimated fee
that would be paid and then it shows the
current price lowest prices all sorts of
stuff and then you can edit it and then
the manage order screen if you have
orders again this is not my actual
screen this doesn't have any of my
orders because I don't want to show you
any of my buyer information or any of my
products that people could jump on and
get
basically competition for me on so that
is uh where you would see all the orders
very very easy
um you could look at you know like last
365 days you can look at basically
anything uh this is an old store that I
had a long time ago uh we had some
issues with it we asked Amazon to get us
started with a new one the new one is
the one I currently use this is the one
I don't use and they were okay with that
now let me show you why Amazon is so
desirable as a selling platform I know
there's a lot of issues people talk
about gating and ungating and
restrictions and rules and that's all
well and good and they're that is true
but look how quickly you can list on
Amazon and don't forget items sell
faster on Amazon than they do on eBay
almost probably 95 of the time you'll be
able to sell and move more items on
Amazon quicker than you will eBay also
you can charge more people are willing
to spend a little bit more money for the
Amazon Prime options if you decide to do
the FBA option FBA is fulfilled by
Amazon it's as simple as you pack all
your inventory up put it in boxes send
it to their warehouse they store it for
you and when it sells they ship it out
for you they handle basically everything
the customer service also fbm just means
fulfilled by Merchant you are the
merchant so you stick it on yourself in
your garage it sells and you ship it but
you'll always sell items faster and for
more money on FBA because they get the
prime option they're willing to spend a
little more money and generally a lot of
the Shoppers on Amazon immediately go to
Prime so let me show you how easy it is
this is a Samsung remote that I sell
it's a
bn5901199f I don't have any listed on
Amazon right now I ran out of stock but
I do have more of them I have to get up
so if you do search this one you won't
find my store on here yet but I will
have more of these to put up soon I sell
these all the time I get them in and out
so I'll get like three or four of them
I'll list them they'll sell and then I'm
out of stock and then I gotta wait till
I get more of them so
let's say I had this remote to sell uh
or I saw this remote out in a thrift
store or yard sale or whatever and
there's a myth you can sell used items
on Amazon people don't realize this
everything I sell is used just about on
Amazon so you'll scroll down and you can
look over here on the right hand side
there's a list there are new and used 11
total of these remotes on Amazon if you
click that it's going to show you every
single one so the cheapest one is used
like new it shows you who's selling it
Global renewed Network this is a
competitor of mine and they're selling
it for 999 in use condition like new the
very first one now they're selling at
fbm as in they are selling it themselves
and you can tell because when they're
prime it says Prime so the very first
one under that is brand new for 11.40
and it's sold by Prime which means it's
at FBA so a lot of people rather than
paying 9.99 for a used one we'll just go
ahead and pay 11.40 for a prime
delivered faster and it's brand new even
if this one was used for 11.40 more
expensive they probably a lot of people
would buy it from this guy uh sa I
Electronics rather than buy it from this
guy because they offer Prime and you can
scroll down and see all the other
sellers that are selling it for right
around the same prices some people more
expensive but you can see all the
options now let's say you're like okay I
have a used one I would like to sell for
9.99 also so you'll go down here and
you'll scroll down just a little bit and
it says sell on Amazon so you just click
that
and it's going to pop up with your
listing page your seller SKU your price
your quantity your condition right you
can choose use good like new very good
and you can choose I'll ship this item
myself fulfilled by Merchant or FBA and
that's it that's all you have to fill in
there's no item specifics or this or
that or any of this other crap
um that's pretty much the entire extent
of it down here you have managing in
other marketplaces which isn't really
necessary there are Advanced options
that you can do so the required is here
that's the relevant and then you could
do all attributes and all attributes
gives you options to make a condition
note you can change your handling time
you can do
um you know restock dates if you have
more so there are other options that you
can do and then obviously
um you know the required ones have a
star next to it and the
um other ones are all optional so you
can do is gift wrap available you have
all these different options but that's
it that is all you have to do for an
Amazon listing and then you would hit
um save and finish and this item would
be up live on Amazon you can literally
scan stuff with a barcode if it's brand
new it'll pop it up fill in a few pieces
of information and you are rolling now
those prices we just saw if you look
here at the top it tells you one used
listing 9.99 plus free shipping and 10
brand new listings eleven dollars and
forty cents plus zero shipping this is
going to give you the lowest one
obviously there's only one use so that's
what it is and then the 10 brand new
ones start at 11 40 with free shipping
so you can tell exactly
um how much people are charging for it
it gives you the Asin which is the
identifier number in the UPC it also
gives you this important thing Amazon
sales rank 441. so if we go back let's
go back
to the Amazon item on any Amazon item
page you can search anything on Amazon
if you scroll down here to the little
product information there is a fancy
little best sellers rank this is the
number 441 best-selling item in
electronics and the number 19 best
seller in remote control Electronics so
there are hundreds and hundreds probably
thousands of different remote control
models this is the 19th best-selling one
this is a really good selling remote no
it's not worth a lot of money but a lot
of people buy this remote why it works
for a lot of Samsung TVs tons of
different models which they give and
that's why people love it because
everyone has these TVs a ton of people
have these TVs also you can see the top
100 items in the electronics overall
category and it shows you look it shows
you the best selling items so you can go
and maybe come across some of these
items that you're eligible to sell and
there you go so that's another helpful
tool that Amazon gives you another
reason why you should sell on Amazon the
date this became available was 2015 so
these TVs have been around for seven
almost eight years shows you all the
information gives you all the different
options gives you questions people have
asked etc etc but all you need to be
worried about this side the pricing and
sell one on Amazon that's how easy it is
that is step by step how to create an
Amazon listing from scratch and get
selling you can start with an individual
account if you go to Google and you type
in sell on Amazon
you will be brought to this main website
that will show you to sign up now Amazon
costs forty dollars a month for a store
but you can avoid the forty dollars a
month and come down here and it says do
you just have a few items to sell sign
up to become an individual seller if you
do that there's no forty dollar fee you
can start learning it but you will be
charged an additional one dollar for
every item that sells not for listing it
for a dollar if it sells so your normal
fee let's say you sell a 12 item and the
fees like a dollar fifty you'll be
charged 250 rather than the normal 1.50
selling fee so that's it and then you
can come over here and you can see uh
cost of selling on Amazon uh compare
selling plans
and so when you look at here it gives
you the selling plan comparisons it
gives you the referral fee which you can
click and you can come down and look at
the different categories which give you
the referral fees which is how much
you'll pay
um for example base power tools or 12
automotive power sports or 12 appliances
full size or eight percent there's uh
minimum of course uh backpacks Handbags
and Luggage 15 uh Business Industrial 12
clothing and accessories 17 a little bit
lower than Posh a little higher than
eBay there collectible coins collectible
entertainment collectible Sports
consumer electronics are eight percent
computers are eight percent eyewear
fifteen so you can see all these
different percentages uh everything else
15 and then you can see a revenue
calculator so you can definitely see
um what it will cost you to buy and sell
on Amazon so that's it guys that's as
easy as it is to get started and
hopefully you guys will take advantage
of this create an Amazon account for
free uh with this individual account
down here at the bottom bottom and then
get your feet wet and start selling on
Amazon if there's any questions please
