Amazon Seller Central – is the web interface used by merchants to market and sell their products
straight to Amazon’s customers. You are considered a third-party seller or a marketplace if you have
a Seller Central account. With this, the merchant or seller has a choice to go between FBA
(Fulfillment by Amazon) or FBM (Fulfillment by Merchant).
2. Amazon Seller Central is where the merchant lists all the products that he wants to sell. It also
serves as a one-stop shop for managing your selling account, doing inventory updates, adding item
information, and finding helpful contents to aid in your Amazon business.
1. Before starting with an Amazon Seller Account, you need to decide first which type of Seller account
you want to build. There are two types of Seller accounts, namely:
a) Individual – if you’re planning to sell under 40 products each month. Goes with no month-to-
month participation cost.
b) Professional – if you’re expecting to sell over 40 products each month.
2. FBA (or Fulfillment by Amazon) is a service provided by Amazon that takes burden off sellers and
grants them more flexibility by providing storage, packaging, and shipping assistance.
3. FBM (or Fulfillment by Merchant) is where the seller is responsible for all his dealing. Rather than
paying a certain charge to Amazon for help and for management of transportation inventory, the
seller instead makes use of his resources and sends the products straight to the buyers.
