Hi, I'm starting a new ecommerce website and wish to have webstore on amazon to increase awareness about my brand and get some traffic. 1. Ours is a company based in India 2. We will be shipping directly to the customers in USA / Europe from India 3. We have no address or any setup in the USA or Europe I have written to amazon many times but never got a reply from them. Can someone help me and advise how to go about it ? Is it a good idea to have an amazon webstore to get faster recognition ? Thanks a lot, Vineet
Hi Vineet, You can surely sign up for the Amazon webstore. But as far as my knowledge goes, you need to be a US resident as you will not be able to sign up for an account until they verify your US bank account information. Also, during the last stage of sign up, they would issue a call back to the US phone number. If you can manage the creation of the account, you can surely do the business out there...there are few sellers from India as welll. Did you know? India's Haldiram's products are sold on Amazon.com!!
Hey, thanks for your reply and guidance. I know there are a lot of Indian products on amazon but the question is if they are shipped directly from India to the customer or from someplace in the US. Vineet
Am not sure about the shipping though.. It appears that the sellers out here have some warehouse in US, where they can ship all the items at once and then from there, they can ship their orders to local U.S areas. Btw, what are you trying to sell.?
