Steps to get started
- Register an Amazon Seller account (Individual or Professional plan).
- Prepare your business details and an international payment account.
- Research your niche and list products with optimized listings.
- Choose a fulfillment model: FBA or FBM.
- Run ads, build up reviews and scale.
FBA or FBM?
FBA (Amazon stores and delivers your stock) is convenient but needs capital to send inventory into US warehouses; FBM (you ship orders yourself) is flexible and suits single orders sent by ePacket to the USA. See the full comparison in FBA vs FBM.
Tips for beginners
- Choose light products with healthy margins to keep shipping costs down.
- Build marketplace fees, shipping and taxes into your selling price.
- Follow Amazon's policies to avoid account suspension.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a US company to sell on Amazon from Vietnam?
- It is not required. Many sellers register as an individual or a business in Vietnam and receive payouts through an international payment service.
- Should a beginner choose FBA or FBM?
- FBM is flexible and needs little capital, which suits beginners; FBA makes sense once you have proven best-sellers.
