GST is a must on amazon now to sell… previously they had local selling but GST was made compulsory there too and many sellers were off the radar

last year amazon stopped non GST local selling and this year completely withdrawn it.

now only those with GST can sell on amazon

Getting GST is not a big deal. It’s easy.

More important is what are you gonna sell? If you are a third party, do you have authorization (certificate) by manufacturer to sell online.

If you are manufacturing the product yourself, great, make sure your margins are more than 10% as amazon will eat 5% of your profits easily.

@ssganesh On amazon.in you will hardly able to make profits. There are plenty of fees involved in it. You can only be successful there if you are selling something unique so it doesn’t compete with other large sellers or you else buy in bulk.



Or you can always start drop-shipping on amazon.com or Wallmart which involves less stress and gives high returns.

See the below link for reference and calculate the fees according to the product/category to sell on Amazon.in.

https://services.amazon.in/services/sell-on-ama...


For example, you sell jeans on Amazon.in worth Rs:- 600


Amazon will take:-

1. Referral fee :- 600*17% = 102
2. Fixed Closing Fee (Self Shipped) :- 20
3. Shipping Fee (Self Shipped) :- 40-50

Total :- 102+20+50=172 INR

So for the 600 rs jeans you will get in hand = 600-172=428
Now from 428 -Cost of the product = Your profit.

P.S :- GST not included.

Instead of clothes try selling books on AZ.
Problem is a lot of guys and girls (over 30%) wear the clothes for a party and next day file for a return request for size mismatch or torn garment.
there are genuine cases but quite a lot are fraud. They cannot be sold to another person so 100% loss.
Do keep that in mind plus Amazon will not let go of its fees nor shipping charges. Sellers on AZ please elaborate on how the returns work.
