Many seller friends have sent me messages asking: What is the cost of opening a store on Amazon Japan? Today, I will introduce to you the cost of opening a store on Amazon Japan.
Cost of opening a store on Amazon Japan
First of all: Amazon's "Global Selling" has two sales plans, Professional Sales Plan (Professional) and Individual Sales Plan (Individual). The "Professional" and "Individual" sales plans are not the same as companies and individuals. Both companies and individuals can open these two plans. For the difference between the two plans, please refer to: Don’t be blinded by these few myths about “Amazon Global Selling”.
The following two formulas can simply explain how to calculate the costs of the two sales plans on the Japanese site:
"Professional Sales Plan" fee = monthly rent + sales commission
"Personal Sales Plan" fee = per-item fee + sales commission
Monthly rent
(Available only on Professional Selling Plan)
Sellers who choose the professional sales plan need to pay a monthly rent of 4,900 yen (approximately 300 yuan)
Charge by piece
(Only available for "Individual Selling Plan")
Sellers who choose the personal selling plan are charged on a per-item basis. For each item sold, they need to pay Amazon a sales fee of 100 yen (approximately RMB 7), but they do not need to pay monthly rent.
Sales Commission
(Applicable to both Professional and Individual Selling Plans)
There are different regulations on sales commission percentages for different categories of goods.
It is important to note that some product categories need to be pre-reviewed when selling on Amazon Japan.
Amazon Japan is an important target site for Amazon's global store opening. Every month, approximately 17.53 million PC users and 30.25 million mobile phone users visit Amazon Japan (Nielsen NetView, November 2015). Japan has a population of 127 million, and by joining Amazon Japan, you can sell into the world's third largest economy. The Japanese site was opened to Chinese sellers relatively late, so it has many business development opportunities and great potential.
Why not hurry up and enter the Amazon Japan site? ! The editor wishes you all many orders and good reviews!
