Does anyone sell on amazon as private seller?

[Mrteajunkie]

The £25pm price tag seems a little steep if I only sell a few bits but I’m currently paying eBay around £90-£150pm and Etsy around £30 so in comparison amazon seems cheap but does that include all fees etc.

I don’t want a business account just an option to sell 5 items which I stock and then my printed cake toppers if it goes well.

Thanks for any input.

I believe that you have to use Amazon's shipping price making your items very expensive.

Just looking on following this up.

Has anyone sold anything on amazon as a private individual?
for low volume items it’s saying £0.75 per item now if that’s the case I might give Amazon a quick test to see how it goes but if there’s charges all over the place then it won’t be worth it.

I aim to store and ship my own items rather than FBA.
Ebay and Etsy is being overrun with stay at home mums on cricut machines.

I'm up against a lot of printers based in the Republic of Ireland on ebay, bouncing stuff through the north. Thinking about giving Amazon a go as well, selling prices tend to be a bit better.

I have also been looking at tiktok to promote some items for fathersday.
I can do a 7 day promotion with a minimum of £3 per day to test the water.

I did have an account on tiktok with one video reaching over 6 million views but then tiktok banned me
if you have tiktok I expect you saw my video as most people did. It was a man stepping into a pool of water but over steps and smacks his face on the opposite side.
