What makes Amazon particularly attractive for new sellers is its robust infrastructure and built-in trust. When customers shop on Amazon, they shop with confidence, knowing they’re protected by Amazon’s customer-friendly policies and reliable delivery systems. This trust translates directly into higher conversion rates for sellers compared to standalone e-commerce websites.

As a seller, if you subscribe to fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), Amazon takes the hassle of storage, shipping, and customer service off your hands, leaving you in charge of marketing and selection of your product. This means you can focus on growing your business without getting bogged down by operational logistics. Amazon provides all the tools you need from managing inventory, optimizing listings, and growing your business.

The platform’s sophisticated algorithm and search features also make it easier for customers to find your products. With tools like Amazon’s A9 search algorithm, your products can gain visibility based on performance metrics rather than just advertising spend. This levels the playing field for new sellers who might not have large marketing budgets.
