Amazon Seller Central

Amazon seller central is a program offered by Amazon.com to enable retailers to sell merchandise within the Amazon.com marketplace. The basic process of Amazon seller central starts with a retailer placing their products into the Amazon.com marketplace from which a consumer can buy the merchandise. A consumer can purchase products from more than one retailer within the same shopping cart / checkout process. Once purchased, Amazon.com automatically distributes the orders to each retailer. The retailer is required to ship the product directly to the consumer and inform Amazon.com when items ship with associated tracking information. In this process, Amazon.com takes a percentage of the order and pays the retailer periodically for shipped orders. This percentage is negotiated between the retailer and Amazon.com at the time of creating a new Amazon seller central account. It's easy to give your products visibility and exposure to millions of buyers by selling on Amazon.com.  You just receive orders; ship them to the buyers and Amazon deposits net proceeds in your account every two weeks.
