Which cross-border e-commerce platform allows individuals to open a store? How to choose?

Which cross-border e-commerce company allows individuals to open stores?

1. Amazon

The difference between individual sellers and professional sellers

1) Individual sellers do not have monthly store rent, only charge $0.99/unit operating fee, and are limited to selling 40 products per month. They do not have buybox, cannot use Amazon storage service FBA, and cannot generate official sales reports.

2) Professional sellers: monthly rent is 39.9 yuan, and the operating commission is 8-15% of the selling price. The number of products sold is unlimited, and you can edit and upload unlimited products for sale. Sellers with a high store operation index can obtain buybox, increase buyers' visits and purchases, and apply for delivery from Amazon storage service FBA. Professional sellers can apply for delivery in their personal name or company name, depending on the company/personal development plan.

Summary: As an Amazon seller, it is recommended to apply for a personal professional seller in the early stage and prepare a company and tax number. When the store sales exceed US$20,000/200 transactions, the tax number information should be submitted in time (if Amazon does not provide sales rights, until the tax number is submitted, the deadline is within 1 month).

The difference between ordinary account and corporate account
