Use case
Use this before registering, listing, shipping inventory, or turning on ads so the seller record, product evidence, and operating plan do not contradict each other.
Before you start
- Product shortlist
- Supplier details
- Business records
- Bank and tax details
- Fulfillment plan
Steps
- Check category, brand, safety, and restricted-product requirements.
- Match legal name, address, bank holder, tax identity, and beneficial-owner records.
- Confirm listing identity, images, GTIN, condition, compatibility claims, and variation structure.
- Model referral fees, FBA or shipping costs, storage, returns, ads, and refund risk.
- Create a dated folder for invoices, authorization, compliance files, and listing screenshots.
Evidence and data needed
- Government ID, business registration, bank account proof, tax details, and address records that match the account profile.
- Supplier invoices, authorization letters, safety/compliance files, product photos, packaging photos, and ASIN/listing screenshots.
- A simple launch log showing when the account was created, products were sourced, listings were edited, inventory was shipped, and ads were enabled.
Mistakes to avoid
- Treating supplier screenshots as a replacement for clean invoices or authorization records.
- Using borrowed listing copy or images without checking product and IP fit.
- Choosing seller-fulfilled shipping without tracking, cancellation, and late-shipment controls.
Copy section
