    Thanks, do you need a separate Amazon account or can you just open the selling account on your normal account?

    You are only allowed one amazon account so use your existing one.

    One thing with toys though, you used to have to be an approved seller to list toys in the months leading up to Christmas, not sure if it is still the vase so you might want to check that.
    Yes you do, I just had an alert about it. If you do want to sell toys for Christmas on Amazon you need to list and sell stuff now, otherwise it won't be possible.

    Thank you RFW. I only remembered that bit as every year when I was a pro seller I would get an email in early September advising me that I was approved to sell toys over Christmas and giving me listing tips.

    Odd thing was, I never sold in the toy category, 99.9999% of my stock was books or CDs
