Cara Membuka Akaun Penjual Amazon (Langkah demi Langkah)

Panduan lengkap mendaftar dan mengesahkan akaun Amazon Seller Central — dokumen diperlukan, KYC, persediaan FBA, dan perangkap biasa untuk dielakkan.

Why Amazon?

Amazon is the highest-ceiling cross-border platform — real brands are built here. Average order values are 3-5× Shopee, and FBA handles fulfillment so you can scale without a warehouse. The trade-off: higher capital (inventory + FBA fees) and stricter rules.

Before you start: 4 things you need

1. Business license (营业执照) — mainland China company license. Individual ID registration works only on some local marketplaces; Amazon cross-border requires a company.
2. Dual-currency credit card (双币信用卡) — Visa/Mastercard that can pay USD. Used for the monthly professional seller fee ($39.99/mo).
3. Cross-border receiving account — Payoneer / PingPong / Lianlian / Airwallex. This is how Amazon pays you (Amazon does not wire RMB directly).
4. Legal representative ID + bank statement — the registered person's ID, plus a statement matching the license address.

Step-by-step registration

1. Create the account — go to sell.amazon.com (or the regional Seller Central), sign up with an email that has never been used on any Amazon buyer or seller account. Account linkage (关联) is the #1 ban reason.
2. Choose a plan — Individual ($0.99/item) or Professional ($39.99/mo). Take Professional if you expect >40 sales/mo — it unlocks ads, reports, and FBA.
3. Fill in business info — company name, license number, registered address, beneficiary info. Use pinyin/English exactly matching your license translation.
4. KYC / identity verification — upload license, legal rep ID, bank statement. Amazon's compliance team reviews (1-5 days). Documents must be clear, unexpired, in focus.
5. Video verification call — Amazon schedules a short video call to confirm the legal representative is real. Have your ID and a printed license on hand.
6. Link receiving account & credit card — add your Payoneer/PingPong account and the dual-currency card. First fees are charged here.
7. Set up store — store name, logo, and (if you have a registered trademark) enroll in Brand Registry to unlock A+ content and block copycats.

FBA vs FBM — which to pick?

Common pitfalls (avoid bans)

• Account linkage (关联) — same IP / device / address as another account → instant ban. One account per clean environment.
• IP infringement — never list trademarked/copyrighted products you don't own. Amazon removes listings and may freeze funds.
• Review manipulation — paying for reviews or asking friends to review → listing suspension. Use Amazon Vine for legitimate early reviews.
• Document mismatch — address / name typos between license, card, and bank → KYC fails.
