Benefits of Amazon Global Selling
Still undecided about venturing into a global expansion? Here are some reasons why you should seriously consider going global.
- Access to a Global Retail Market
Since Amazon already has the platform, market, and international logistic structure in place, Amazon Global Selling offers the convenience of a ready-made international organization. It provides Amazon Sellers with the ability to sell to the top international retail markets more quickly than trying to enter the international markets on your own. By launching internationally on Amazon, you gain immediate access to its global customers in more than 180 countries.
- Access 12 Marketplaces with Just 3 Accounts
Like all Amazon Global Selling members, you can apply for a single account for every major marketplace -- namely, Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific – then set up shop on any or all of the 12 sites under each marketplace that suit you best. With only three accounts to manage and access the entire Amazon world, moving into the global market becomes much simpler and more convenient.
Or you may decide to begin in a single marketplace area. A seller set up on Amazon Americas, for example, can already start expanding into the three additional American marketplaces; namely, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil; without having to set up different new accounts.
- Easy International Payment
With access to a built-in currency converter, Amazon Global Selling makes getting paid so much easier. The currency converter enables Global Amazon retailers in all Amazon participating countries to get paid through their local banks in their local currencies. If you are a US bank account holder, using the currency converter is free of charge.
- Convenient Product Fulfillment
Selling by exporting products to other countries can be costly and involves much paperwork, not to mention the horrendous amount of red tape and other business hassles on top of shipments and returns. These are but some of the reasons why some people don’t want to go global.
Amazon Global Selling came out with the best logistic features of selling on Amazon – FBA or Fulfillment by Amazon. With FBA plus a ready customer base for your products, selling globally suddenly becomes very convenient.
- Language Support
Customer service or customer support is another major challenge for an Amazon seller when venturing into international sales. Amazon Global Selling removes this hurdle by providing full support for all local languages in every country they operate.
