Are you considering becoming an Amazon seller? It’s important to understand the two selling plans offered by Amazon: the Professional Selling Plan and the Individual Selling Plan. In this blog post, I’ll explore the differences between these two plans and help you determine which one is the right fit for your selling goals.

The Individual Selling Plan is perfect for sellers who are just starting out or have a low sales volume. This plan does not require a monthly subscription fee, making it an affordable option for those testing the waters or selling a small number of products.

With the Individual Selling Plan, you pay a per-item fee for each product sold. It’s ideal if you plan to sell fewer than 40 items per month. This plan provides access to essential selling tools and features, including the ability to create product listings, manage inventory, and fulfill orders. However, keep in mind that certain features, such as uploading inventory in bulk, are only available with the Professional Selling Plan.

If you’re serious about scaling your business on Amazon, the Professional Selling Plan offers a robust set of features and advantages. For a monthly subscription fee of $39.99 (subject to change, so always check Amazon’s current pricing), you gain access to a suite of powerful tools designed to help you manage and expand your operations.

With the Professional Selling Plan, you can sell an unlimited number of products without incurring any per-item fees. This plan is suitable for high-volume sellers or those aiming to grow their business quickly. It allows you to create product listings in bulk, use Amazon’s advanced reporting tools to analyze your performance, and even qualify for additional programs like Amazon Advertising and the Amazon Buy Box.

Choosing the Right Plan for You Now that you understand the differences between the Individual and Professional Selling Plans, how do you decide which one is right for your Amazon business?

Consider the following factors:

1. Sales Volume: If you expect to sell fewer than 40 items per month, the Individual Selling Plan may be a cost-effective choice. For higher sales volumes, the Professional Selling Plan offers greater flexibility and potential cost savings.
2. Growth Potential: If you have ambitious growth goals and want access to advanced selling tools and features, the Professional Selling Plan provides the necessary resources to propel your business forward.
3. Budget: Assess your budget and determine whether the monthly subscription fee of the Professional Selling Plan aligns with your financial resources. Remember to factor in the potential cost savings from not paying per-item fees.
4. Long-Term Strategy: Consider your long-term selling strategy. If you’re committed to building a sustainable and scalable business on Amazon, the Professional Selling Plan positions you for success.

Remember, you can always start with the Individual Selling Plan and upgrade to the Professional Selling Plan later as your sales volume and business needs increase.

Whichever plan you choose, keep in mind that selling on Amazon offers tremendous opportunities for growth and success. Leverage the available resources, optimize your listings, provide exceptional customer service, and continually adapt your strategies based on marketplace trends to maximize your selling potential.

If you are an Amazon Seller doing business on their US platform, you must have received Amazon’s warning e-mail entitled New requirement for list prices starts June 30 in your inbox. Starting that date, Amazon will require any newly created listings to contain the List Price.

If you are wondering why is setting a List Price so important for Amazon, in this article I will be addressing your concerns. Whilst it will only take you a few seconds to update any listing with a List Price, you may not be aware of its pros and cons.

Once you upload the List Price, Amazon will save this figure as the product’s RRP. When you try to decrease or increase the product price later, your listing will get automatically deactivated over a Potential high / low pricing error or you will lose the BuyBox.

This is why you should carefully rethink whether you will provide this attribute on your existing listings and what figure will be entered as the List Price. 

On the other hand, List Price can be a good idea when you have an otherwise expensive product, which you intend to sell at a significant discount. It is then shown as a strike-through Recommended Retail Price making the savings visible on the product detail page. Displaying the RRP when you are offering a price that is below it, will help customers understand the value of your offer, which may help to increase conversion. 

If you do not have a ready-to-provide list price, Amazon suggests that a possible value could be the first price at which you have offered or will be offering the product. You can also provide a value of 0 to indicate that you do not have a list price.

In case you are an Amazon Seller who needs help with Seller Identity Verification on Amazon, please feel free to watch my most detailed video on the subject, addressing all common questions:

If you are one of the impacted Amazon Sellers whose inventory was caught in the December 13, 2022 incident, when severe weather caused structural damage to AFW1 and the facility was forced to close, you should know that the facility will reopen as early as 7.May 2023.

If your Inventory Performance Index (IPI) has been impacted by the closure of AFW1, Amazon is claiming to have accounted for that impact in your current capacity limits. They state that your IPI could be affected for up to 13 weeks after AFW1 reopens. However, they will continue to monitor your IPI  during that time and ensure that any impact to your IPI does not negatively influence your capacity limits.

The important point is that you may be able to ask for a reimbursement if Amazon failed to refund your storage fees by now.

According to Amazon, you may see monthly storage fees and/or aged inventory surcharges associated with affected inventory during the closure period. If these monthly fees were incorrectly applied to your account, they will issue you a refund within one month of the charge date. After AFW1 reopens on May 7, Amazon will no longer refund monthly storage fees as items will be fulfillable for customer orders. However, Amazon will continue to refund aged inventory surcharge through July 2023 as a grace period.
