register. This is a simple process that requires you to fill out a short online
form to register as an Individual seller. If you think that you will need to
process more than 40 orders per month you should register as a Pro Merchant.

offers its sellers a world-class payment fraud protection service. They have
devised a system that is ridden with personalized notifications that tell you
exactly what is going on with your orders and payments at any given time.
A-to-z Guarantee Program
This
program is particularly designed for the safety of the customer but it is
important to be aware of a program of this nature as it has been created to
establish a sense of business confidence between the customer, Amazon and you.
The A-to-z Guarantee Program has been fashioned to handle situations where a
customer: receives a product that is different to what was ordered. The
customer is initially encouraged to contact you (the seller) personally if this
type of product arises. If you cannot resolve the problem, the customer can
then file an 'A-to-z' claim to Amazon. Amazon then sends you an email, which
outlines the customer's claim. You are requested to respond by mailing the
order's basic information and an outline of the fulfilment process. Amazon will
then decide how the claim will be settled - this may result in you having to
refund the customer.
Feel
free to do a Google search to find a list of top product promotion companies.
There are many companies available that will aggressively market your product
online - with this type of external help; you won't have to personally take on
the marketing of your product.
