When the seller has completed brand registration as required, the seller's dashboard will show the amount of eligible brand sales, the total amount of rebates received, the total amount of rebates that have been used to pay referral fees, and a list of ASINs eligible for sales rebates. As shown in the figure above, the displayed amounts are calculated according to the two time dimensions [Total] and [Monthly].
If the seller is eligible for the New Seller Starter Package but has not completed brand registration, they can complete brand registration by clicking the “Register” button at the bottom of the signboard to begin receiving a 5% refund on brand sales.

The benefits of the New Seller Starter Pack are for all new sellers who launch products in the US, Japan, UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain on or after March 1, 2023.
However, only brand owners can enjoy 5% back on brand sales, as well as discounts on Vine products.

Existing sellers who wish to set up a new business in the US or Japan, or sellers who have not yet set up a business on any of the UK, German, French, Italian, or Spanish sites can enjoy the benefits of the New Seller Starter Package.
