I already have a selling account on another Amazon Marketplace. Can I use my existing account to sell in the Middle East Marketplace?When I registered in Seller Central, the page said, “We have detected that you have already started registration in another Marketplace. You'll need to register in your previous marketplace before you can expand to the new marketplace. You can also use a different email address to begin registration in your current marketplace. ” In this situation, how should I complete registration in the Middle East Marketplace?
Yes. In Seller Central, select “Global Selling” from the “Inventory” drop-down menu, select “Middle East and North Africa,” and create seller accounts for the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
When registering for the Middle East Marketplace in Seller Central, if your page can’t continue the registration process and shows a message such as: “We have detected that you have already started registration in another Marketplace. You'll need to register in your previous marketplace before you can expand to the new marketplace.

How do I start selling on the India Marketplace?Is there a fee to sign up?Will an account manager help?
The India Marketplace can be joined through FBA and MFN seller-fulfilled shipping models. Currently, the Marketplace uses an invitation-only registration process. You can request a registration link through your account manager, who will provide free 1-on-1 support throughout the process. Currently, the percentage of cross-border sellers on the Marketplace is relatively low, competition is low, and Advertising cost of sales is high. We recommend that you fill out the seller registration interest form first, because we’re currently in a seller recruitment promotion period and account manager resources are limited, so filling out the form first can help you reserve a spot.
How do I register for the Mexico Marketplace?What do you need to prepare
Amazon Mexico and the US Marketplace share the North America seller platform. Sellers only need to provide the email address registered for their US Marketplace account. No additional documents or registration link are required, and there are no first- or second-review requirements.

Logistics
What warehouses does Amazon Australia have, and how do I send my products there?
The steps to start Fulfillment by Amazon are very simple. You only need to choose a first-mile logistics provider, complete the setup in Seller Central, and send your products to an Amazon warehouse in Australia. Amazon Australia currently has fulfillment centers in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, and other locations, and you can send your shipment to any warehouse. If you’d like to learn more about first-mile logistics providers, you can search for “Amazon SPN Service Provider Network” in WeChat Mini Programs
Will Amazon provide packaging boxes for the last mile of FBA?When I ship my standard small items to FBA in compliant large cartons for first-mile shipping, do I need to prepare and pack an individual box for each small item?
Amazon will repackage each small item in the FBA last-mile delivery process, so sellers can save on the cost of packaging boxes for each small item when sending the first-mile shipment, as well as the logistics costs caused by the added volume from those boxes.
Do FBA shipments for the UAE and Saudi Arabia need to be sent separately?How much does it cost? What are the benefits?
The UAE and Saudi Arabia are two separate Marketplaces, so you need to ship to local warehouses separately. Currently, if you consolidate shipments to the Middle East through first-mile logistics, you can use the promo code “Amazon Middle East Marketplace” to get ocean shipping rates as low as Chinese Yuan 6.6/kg, with no minimum shipment weight, shipments starting from 1 kg, and an ocean shipping transit time of just 3–4 weeks. Register in Seller Central for “Logistics New Selection program (UAE)/Logistics New Selection program (Saudi Arabia).” If you meet the requirements, you can also get 3 months of free storage and use FBA to test products at a very low cost. The Middle East Marketplace has an average order value as high as $150, far higher than in mature markets. With FBA, you can submit all DOTD, LD, BD, and other promotions for free, and use coupons on the Middle East Marketplace with no processing fees.
Do I have to register a tax ID to sell in Mexico?
You can start by using the North America Remote Fulfillment Program (NARF). You can use FBA inventory stored in Amazon fulfillment centers in the United States to fulfill sales orders in Canada and Mexico. Amazon helps sellers manage cross-border shipping. For products imported into Canada and Mexico, additional shipping fees and customs duties are paid by the buyer<1>, and Mexico does not require RFC tax registration<2>}, making it easy to sell in all three countries from one warehouse
Can new European sites use FBA, and is there a VAT number requirement?
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) offers a variety of solutions in Europe. Currently, all three Marketplaces support Pan-EU FBA and European Fulfillment Network (EFN), and you can choose the logistics solution that best fits the orders generated across the three Marketplaces. For ASINs enrolled in Pan-EU FBA, you can enjoy the lowest Fulfillment by Amazon fees in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Poland, while attracting new buyers and increasing your sales opportunities in Europe. Take a 900 g standard package as an example: local delivery in Sweden costs only Swedish Krona 39.45, or about Euros 3.90; in the Netherlands, it is Euros 3.26, and in Poland, it is Polish Zloty 6.48, or about Euros 1.41, all of which are lower than local delivery costs in France and Italy, and delivery costs in the Netherlands and Poland are even lower than local delivery costs in Germany. You can search for “FBA Fulfillment Fees” on the corresponding Marketplace in Seller Central Europe, or click here to download the FBA rate card for the Netherlands, Sweden, or Poland.
