An important point to make here is that the program is invite-only, so you get to compete with the best in the market instead of every service provider in the region.

1. Build Your Store On Amazon.com.au

Begin the process of setting up your own store with Amazon. Here is the link to  register with Amazon. It is a simple process where you need to register with basic details of product category and other things and your products listed on Amazon through their easy to use listing tools.  Amazon Sponsored products can be used to advertise your products and get free impressions for the pays and offer for your products when the ad is clicked.

2. Get Ready With Details

Upon filling up sign up amazon form you will be asked to provide further details such as:

Payment Details

WorldFirst, one of the most trusted foreign exchange in the world helps you make your payments easily. All you need to do is simply link your WorldFirst currency account with your Amazon Seller Central account and the revenues are directly deposited to your account. You can also use your Australian bank account to Amazon but with WorldFirst account, you can easily use funds at the times of high exchange rates to gain profits. Also, direct payments to same currency suppliers can be made. Thus the efforts for double currency exchanges are saved.

Business Details

While setting up a seller’s account with Amazon you’ll be asked to fill in detailed information about your legitimate business that includes your business type, address, registered Url (if any) and the bank account details.

Shipping and Return information

To process any return of orders the seller is required to match or exceed Amazon return policies. In case of any return of an item, a seller must provide a return address in the selected country or pay for the shipping costs. A prepaid return shipping label can be sent to the buyer to pay for shipping or the expenditure can be reimbursed.

Tax Information

Till the diverted profits tax comes into action, it is too early to judge how Amazon navigates the Australian taxation system. Although it is sure that Amazon will avoid paying significant taxes by complying different strategies but the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) will do the best it can.

3. Add Your Products

With a minimal charge of  $49.95  list your products on Amazon.com.au

Once you provide Amazon basic details about your business, you will be asked to provide business related information and wait for category approval. While registering your products make sure to give interesting titles, product description, and prices.
