The search engine will usually come up with several different choices of the item you're selling in which you can choose from.... CLICK THE EXACT ITEM YOU ARE SELLING! AMAZON WILL ASK YOU ASK YOU ON THIS PAGE; "Please verify that this is the exact item you want to sell. To list your item in Amazon Marketplace, it must exactly match the item you are listing against.

Their fees are as follows: Amazon.com collects fees only when your item sells. At that time, Amazon.com collects your sales price and shipping costs from the buyer, deducts a commission of 6 to 15 percent of the sales price, a per-transaction fee of $0.99, and a variable closing fee. The $0.99 per-transaction fee is waived for Pro Merchant Subscribers. For pricing information on our Selling on Amazon program click here.

You may use a debit card as well if it has a Visa or Master card logo.... Enter your information.

You will see the below: 3. Identity verification complete Your identity has been verified successfully. Continue Click 'Continue'
Step7
The next page will show all the information you have entered in the previous pages on the top third of the page. The middle third is where you enter your Bank Account Information. You do not need this at registration, but, will need it later. In this area, it will read as follows: "Your bank account information can be added later, and is not required for registration. Note that we can only deposit your earnings into a U.S. bank account. After you add or update your bank account information, for security purposes we will not deposit funds for 14 days." So, you might want to go ahead and do this so you can get PAID when your item sells. Then, the bottom area will read: "Participant Agreement" Read over the blue "Agreement" area, click the box, and click "CONFIRM" AND FINALLY!!!! (HAHAHA) You will see something at the top of the page that reads: "REVIEW AND SELL YOUR PRODUCT" Look over all of the information and if it is correct click "Submit your Listing" YOU ARE DONE... Now, Wait and pray your item sells... Always remember to sign out of Amazon.com when you aren't using it.
