The platform provides Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), allowing sellers to store products in Amazon warehouses and leverage its world-class logistics.

The platform has strict performance metrics, including order defect rates and customer service response times, which sellers must meet to avoid account suspension. Marketplace fees, referral commissions, and FBA storage costs can impact profit margins. Additionally, sellers must comply with regional VAT and tax regulations in different Amazon marketplaces.
