How can a novice do cross-border e-commerce? What are the skills?

Most merchants in the cross-border e-commerce industry are experienced. Even the experience of domestic e-commerce platforms can help you avoid many detours. However, some novices will try to do cross-border e-commerce. At this time, there will be many questions. So what should novices do?

How can a novice do cross-border e-commerce?

1. Adequate Liquidity

By understanding the basic components of these costs, sellers can better optimize their sales profit margins.

1. Monthly service fee

Open an account on Amazon for two or more sites (such as the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, India, the Middle East, and Singapore) to enjoy the benefit of a total monthly rental fee of US$39.99 for multiple sites.

2. Sales Commission

For different categories of goods, the corresponding sales commission percentage and the minimum commission per item have different regulations. The sales commission for categories on the North American site, the European site, and the Japanese site are all different. For details, please refer to the "Preparation before opening a store" in "I want to open a store" on the Amazon official website.

3. Logistics costs

Amazon's logistics model FBA means that after the seller sends the goods in batches to the Amazon operation center, Amazon will help the seller store the goods; when the goods are sold, Amazon will complete the order sorting, packaging and delivery, and provide customer service such as buyer consultation and return for these goods, helping sellers save manpower, material and financial resources. It is the logistics model that most sellers will choose. It mainly includes storage fees (inventory storage fees are charged monthly according to the actual storage space occupied by the goods), delivery fees (charged by piece according to the size and weight of each item), and other fees (unplanned fees, charged according to specific circumstances).

4. Other expenses

There are additional selling fees that must be considered on Amazon, such as promotion fees, paid account services, refund fees, bulk listing fees, etc.

2. When registering an account, individual sellers can also register

The prerequisite is that you need to prepare the following items: a color scan of the company's business license, a color scan of the legal representative's ID card, a payment credit card (a credit card that can be used for international payments, Visa or MasterCard), a contact person's email address, a contact person's phone number, the company's address, and a contact number.

3. Continuously improve personal knowledge reserves

When doing business on Amazon, you must not just go through the motions and let things take their own course. After registering your own store, passing the review, and being allowed to sell, and all the steps are ready, sellers must carefully study the knowledge required to operate a store.

4. Choose an Amazon operation service provider

Newbies can do business on Amazon, but they may not necessarily achieve great results. Sometimes they can seek help from a professional team, such as an Amazon agency, to obtain greater profits.

It is recommended to cooperate with Damei E-commerce, a professional company that has been focusing on Amazon operations for eight years. Leave professional matters to professionals and you will definitely get a good professional result.

Newbies who want to engage in cross-border e-commerce must first have an understanding and familiarity with this industry. After understanding some general knowledge, they can start specific operations. There are so many cross-border e-commerce platforms now, and you must find a mainstream platform, which will have a novice learning stage.
