Of course your aim question is: How to sell on Amazon in the UAE? Let’s walk through the steps to set-up a seller account on Amazon.ae and thus help you kick start your business.

Amazon is the world’s leading E-marketplace where people can sell and buy from anywhere. However, selecting a marketplace (Country) that is relatively new and has low competition, has a lot of advantages.

APPROVED COUNTRIES

After selecting your marketplace, you should then select your “Business Entity”.

 A business entity on Amazon is like seller’s ID and you can become seller by using your “Business License” or “Personal Credentials”. You also need to make sure that you (or your businesses) should be living in countries stated in the list of Amazon’s Approved Countries.

What if your country is not on the list of Amazon and you still want to sell in the UAE? Well, you can register your “Business Entity” in an approved country and use those credentials to get a seller account.

BANK ACCOUNT

Once you made your first sell on Amazon, how do you get the profits transferred to your Bank Account? This is where it gets a little tricky! Make sure that the country you currently live in is also accepted in terms of currency by Amazon as this will allow you to transfer your funds directly from your seller central account to your bank account.

If the currency isn’t accepted by Amazon, you can still draw funds from 3rd party financial service providers, like “Payoneer”. Payoneer is now accepted by Amazon.ae and allows you to transfer profit with some transfer fee and little profit percentage upon each withdrawal.
