upgrading to pro seller
 

I have been running a stealth individual account on amazon for about 2 months.... not a lot of sales maybe 15-20 worth about £200 in total . Everything appears cool so far.

I would like to upgrade to seller pro....is there anything I need to be extra wary of at this step?

Many thanks!

Why try to fix it if everything running smooth? Dónt fix anything if everything is running good

if he upgrades he has a chance to become featured.

Then nothing to worry about

If it aint broken, should not be fixed - featured is a privilege not a right :)

Upgrade and fees are cheaper. But depends on the volume you are selling.

There are benefits to it - but you need to keep on top of things more - hence that is why it is called a pro account. I would not recommend it unless you are a seasoned seller - definately will cause problems with a casual approach. Either way you can always revert if it gets to be problematic for you.

If you have only 2 months experience I would definitely recommend against it especially going into the Christmas season. It can quickly overwhelm the first-time seller and your ratings will go down the tubes along with the account. My advice, if your experience is as stated, is to leave it alone for now. Stay on top of things till new year - holiday orders can quickly overwhelm the beginner and buyers become MUCH more impatient as the holidays approach. A few negative fbs due to *perceived* slow shipping can sink your account rather quickly..

Good luck

Ive been a Pro Merchant on every single Amazon Stealth accounts ive ever made. Its a massive plus in my opinion. Your fees will go down, You can be featured which helps massively especially on busy listings.

The main reason I always go Pro is because i can then set my postage charges. If your like me and you pay VAT then its good to keep your postage cost exactly the same as what it costs you from royal mail. This way you dont have to pay VAT on your postage aswel.

All in all i would say go for it!

Hope all goes well, Cheers
