Being a Vendor on Amazon is a coveted privilege for select brands. This status can help you to expand your sales volume considerably. However, fulfilling directly to Amazon is not that straight-forward; vendors are expected to meet a great deal of requirements when shipping to Amazon. If vendors fail to meet these requirements, Amazon can impose fees, which they call “chargebacks”.

As an e-commerce manager you see that sales on marketplace Amazon are going well: the demand for your products is increasing. More and more often, the question arises of expanding into other markets. Amazon is already present in many European countries and plans to open more markets. What is stopping you from selling internationally?

Countries are locked down, people are working from home and shops are closed. These are some effects of the COVID-19 virus, that is currently running through the world. The pandemic affects businesses as well. For Amazon, it means changes in sales and prioritise certain categories.
