Selling on Amazon can be a profitable venture, but it can also be overwhelming for beginners. One of the most popular ways to sell on Amazon is through their Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) program, where Amazon handles storage, packing, and shipping of your products. If you’re just starting out and want to list your first product on Amazon FBA, here is a step-by-step tutorial to help you get started, along with some common mistakes to avoid.
Step 1: Create an Amazon Seller Account
The first step in listing your product on Amazon FBA is to create a seller account. You can sign up for a free individual account or a professional account, which costs $39.99 per month but offers additional benefits like access to advanced selling tools.
Step 2: Choose Your Product Category
Once you’ve created your seller account, you’ll need to choose the category that best fits your product. Amazon has a wide range of categories to choose from, so be sure to pick the one that is most relevant to your product.
Step 3: List Your Product
To list your product on Amazon FBA, you’ll need to provide detailed information about your product, including the title, description, price, and images. Make sure to include high-quality images and accurate product descriptions to attract potential buyers.
Step 4: Set Your Pricing and Shipping Preferences
After listing your product, you’ll need to set your pricing and shipping preferences. You can choose to offer free shipping or set your own shipping rates. Amazon also offers the option to use their shipping services through FBA, which can save you time and money.
Step 5: Optimize Your Listing
To improve your product visibility and ranking on Amazon, you’ll need to optimize your listing. Use relevant keywords in your title and description, and include bullet points highlighting key features of your product. You can also use tools like Amazon Sponsored Products to promote your listing and attract more customers.
Mistakes to Avoid:
1. Listing a Product Without Doing Proper Research: Before listing your product on Amazon, make sure to research your competition, price points, and target market to ensure your product will be successful.
2. Ignoring Amazon’s Rules and Regulations: Amazon has strict policies on product listings, so make sure to follow their guidelines to avoid risking suspension of your account.
3. Neglecting Customer Reviews: Encourage customers to leave reviews of your product, as positive reviews can boost your credibility and increase sales.
4. Failing to Optimize Your Listing: Optimizing your listing with keywords and high-quality images is crucial for attracting potential buyers and improving your search ranking on Amazon.
By following this step-by-step tutorial and avoiding common mistakes, you can successfully list your first product on Amazon FBA and start growing your online business. Good luck!

Hi there. so i have a product on amazon with an ean number. i tried to relist the product a second time but there was no option to. is this normal? do i need to use a different gs1 code to relist the item first?
If I'm doing generic brand for something already on Amazon I just apply under already existing listing?
Hi! I need some help. I have my own brand I registered in Ontario but I want to sell on amazon CA and US, do I need a trademark for both just to post my product? I am so confused on what to do because the trademark wait is a long time, do you have a video on how to do this?
I can't find the add product key on my catalog it's only showing add products via upload, upload image and upload and manage video.
What do you think is th problem or why is that happening?
You should make a video about the new shipping rule. The SIPP. 2024 US FBA fulfillment fee changes.
Since now i have fixed 8541error. Can you tell me ungated products on the market
Hello Crescent please allow me to ask my question here sorry long message i am new.. I keep getting an error warning. 8541 I have completed the entire listing, Product Identity item Name. I have the UPC and have filled in the product details (description, bullet points, images, weights, etc.). It is a baby bath. I am not sure if it is different here in Australia where I live. I find it complicated to understand I am new. I am new to youtube, where individuals always talk in complex details and do not simplify when discussing values, etc.
@crescent kao plz tell me I select a product people are complain that it is leaking product majority but on Alibaba there are many same product but some prices is high some are low so how I do know that this product is good for customer I am unable to check the quality and sample price to send is high due to shipping plz guide me on this thing that which product has good quality
Do i buy the product first and then add it to Amazon?
Thank you so much #crescent for replying and this video was really helpful to understand product external id and everything but there is one thing that in your listing there is no contribution sku field to fill out but in my listing there is a contribution sku field by the product external id can you plz tell what to put in contribution sku ??
So grateful for this video, very informative! I do have a question though, we would want to list our product before we ship our products from the manufacturer? I noticed that you said at the end, to print your upc label and send it to the manufacturer. If the product is live, how would the customer get it if the manufacturer still has to send it to amazon fulfilment? Thanks again!
Crescent Thanks for your informetion its really helpful to me 🙂
Hello, do you provide virtual 1 on 1 with people trying to get started selling on Amazon?
Hi, after months of paying the 40$ every month for my Amazon shop and not yet actually earning anything I finally launched my product today so how do I get my money back for the months before the launch?
This is one of the only fba videos ive watched where at the end i didnt go huh
Thanks man
Hi- thanks for your videos, they are very helpful. I wanted to ask you if you’ve ever been able to change the name of your child variations. I have a product with 4 colors and the swatches just got added to the listing as the product is making its way to the fulfillment centers this week. Now that swatches are on the listing, I realize that they are organized alphabetically, which is not ideal for my product. I’d like to have them listed from light to dark, not in a random order. Is there anyway to change the order that the swatches appear on the listing or to change the naming convention so it will be ordered by my preference? Will that mess up anything with fulfillment? I have FNSKUs stickers on all my products. Thanks in advance for your opinion
Thanks for the video, so do I wait for Amazon to approve my listing before telling my supplier to send the products? Cheers!
Hi Cresent, thank you for your video, very helpful.
I want to ask what if I am selling Arbitrage product but don't have a brand name?
Also is Amazon going to ask a lot if I use my own company name instead of brand name on arbitrage products?
Thank you
Hi. Crescent. how much do you charge to be a mentor. I am a new seller. I need your help
1)Where should I buy products for wholesale, in case if Alibaba I don't find things or style I am finding
2) Is it necessary to buy UPC(barcode) or ASIN will also work (for private label wholesale)
