🖱️ Configure your Seller Central account - Things to Know, Do, and Avoid
Welcome to the Amazon selling community! Now that you've registered, it's time to fine-tune your Seller Central account. Let's walk through some key points to help you set up your account for success.
First things first, remember that your Amazon selling account is a one-stop shop for your business. It's important to make it count. Buyers are more likely to trust sellers who provide clear, detailed information about their policies, so let's make sure your account shines.
Here are some essential steps to take:
- 🏷️ Choose a memorable business name. This is what customers will see, so make it count! You can update this in the Seller information displayed to buyers section.
- 📞 Keep your contact details current. We might need to reach you, so make sure your email and phone number are up to date. To edit your business contact information, see Seller information displayed to buyers.
- 💳 Stay on top of your financial information. Keeping your credit card and bank account details current prevents any hiccups in your payments.
- 🎁 Showcase your services. If you offer gift messaging or gift wrapping, let your customers know. You can even upload your logo to add a personal touch. To upload your logo and provide information specific to your business, see Edit your help pages.
- 🚚 Set your shipping rates clearly. Customers appreciate knowing shipping costs upfront.
- 🔒 Stick to one Seller Central account per region unless you have a legitimate need for more (and all your accounts are in good standing).
Now, a couple of things to avoid:
- 🚫 Don't include website URLs in your product feeds, business name, or company information that might lead buyers away from Amazon.
- 🚫 Don't assume other sellers are always doing things correctly and remain focused on your business. Always verify your practices against Amazon's policies, guidelines, and seller Help content.

I set mine up exactly how I want it and Amazon keep altering my shipping settings so I have to constantly check they are what I need them to be. Youre doing it again on the 15th so ill have to turn automated settings off yet again...because I dont want them on and Amazon keeps turning them on. Do Amazon take any accountability for late parcels due to deciding it knows dispatch time better than the actual seller? LOL, of course not. Do Amazon understand that when you print the labels you set the dispatch date and they are not necessarily dispatched on the day labels were printed... nope. I print labels same day order comes in, I dispatch in 2 working days because thats my minimum dispatch time. Amazon repeatedly changes my settings to same day dispatch because ..*shrug* because...
