As an Amazon seller, having an effective seller account is crucial to your success on the platform. With millions of products and millions of sellers competing for attention on Amazon, understanding how to set up and optimize your Amazon Seller Account is key.
But where do you start? This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of creating an Amazon Seller Account, explain the different types of accounts, and provide tips to maximize your success.
An Amazon Seller Account is a business account that allows individuals, companies, and brands to list and sell their products on the Amazon marketplace. It provides access to a wide range of tools and resources to help sellers manage their inventory, handle customer service, and optimize their listings.
Amazon offers two types of seller accounts, each with its own features and fee structure:
The Individual Seller Account is best for those who sell fewer than 40 items per month. It has no monthly subscription fee, but sellers pay $0.99 per item sold, in addition to other selling fees. Note that individual sellers cannot list new products on the Amazon marketplace; they can only list existing products.
The Professional Seller Account is ideal for sellers who sell more than 40 items per month. It comes with a $39.99 monthly subscription fee but doesn't charge a per-item fee. The professional plan offers advanced selling tools like bulk listing and reports.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create an Amazon Seller Account:

Amazon generally reviews and verifies your identity documents within about 2 to 3 business days if everything is in order. However, depending on how busy their verification team is or whether you’re required to do a video identity check, it can take up to 1 to 2 weeks in normal situations. In some rare cases, it could take several weeks if documents need resubmission or additional clarification.
For the U.S. marketplace in 2026, Amazon is adjusting FBA fees. Fulfillment fees will rise by about $0.08 per unit on average across categories (around a 0.5% increase). This increase affects how much Amazon charges to pick, pack, and ship your products, especially for standard-size items.
Here’s how to optimize product titles for Amazon mobile search:
If you’re signing up as an individual seller, Amazon typically allows a personal bank account for receiving disbursements.
Just make sure the account holder’s name exactly matches the name you used on your Amazon seller profile, and the bank accepts Amazon’s test deposit or verification process.
If you’re selling as a business entity, it’s usually recommended to use a business bank account that matches your business registration.
An LLC is not required to start selling on Amazon in most marketplaces. However, forming an LLC can give liability protection and sometimes tax advantages if you’re scaling. It’s not a strict Amazon requirement. In countries like India, a GST number is often required to sell certain product categories.
