Hi all,
I've been trying to set up an Amazon account to shift some old textbooks. However it keeps trying to make me pay for proffesional/business membership which is about £30 a month. Do I have to sign up to do this first and then claim it back as there seems to be no other options, does anyone know? Thanks

You could give them a call to discuss options their customer service is usually pretty good.

There should be an option in there somewhere to proceed without signing up to the £30 a month option, you just pay an additional one off fee per item when somehting sells.

There are two types of account individual and professional. Individual costs quite a bit more per item per sale. Individual is 90p per sale plus fees, professional costs £30 per month and no 90p fee. So if you have more than 35 items that you're going to sell in a month then it's cheaper to have a professional account.
