How do I register as a Seller on Amazon? Which plan should I pick?

When you begin the registration process, one of the first things you may notice is that you will be asked to pick your plan. You will have to choose either an Individual plan or a Professional plan. Essentially, the Individual plan costs $0.99 per sale, while those who use the Professional plan pay $39.99 per month. That being said, if you are someone who plans on selling more than 40 items per month, then you should consider going with the Professional plan. However, if you sell less than 40 items per month, which may be the case if you are only starting out, you should consider choosing the Individual plan.
