Sell electronics online: Everything you need to know

You can sell TVs, audio (including car radios), GPS, phones, cameras and electronic accessories. You can list these products as being new, certified refurbished, or used. Please note that approval may be required for certain products.

Getting started with selling electronics on Amazon can be very simple. In order to sell electronics, you should meet the following requirements:

1. Register as a seller on Amazon and select the selling plan that best suits your business.
2. Understand and comply with VAT regulations for each country that you want to sell your products in. You can find more information in our VAT Knowledge Centre.
3. Make sure that your electronic products comply with Amazon's policies and requirements and are approved if this is required for that type of electronic product.
4. Optimise your product images, descriptions and titles to make it easier for users to find your product listing.

After setting up your product listings, you can start selling on Amazon and start receiving orders. You can choose whether you want to process the orders yourself or use Amazon's fulfilment service, Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA). With FBA, Amazon takes care of customer service, storage, packaging and shipping.

As soon as a customer places an order, you should process the order and ship it to them. If you use FBA, Amazon will handle the order processing and even the return if required.

If there are problems with electronic products that you've sold, you should respond to the issue promptly and communicate with the customer. Based on the issue that you've determined after receiving the information from the customer, the next step is to process refunds or exchanges as quickly as possible and to keep the customer informed about the process.

Sellers can communicate with the buyer via a form, email (using an encrypted address provided by Amazon) or over the phone. Find out more here.

If you use Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA), we'll take care of customer service as well as returns or refunds for the order.

Amazon provides various tools and resources that can help selling partners in electronics to manage and optimise their businesses. There are various programmes that can help increase the visibility of your products and boost your sales opportunities.

Joining the Amazon Renewed programme to sell like-new refurbished electronic products, registering your brand with Amazon Brand Registry, promoting your products, upgrading your product page with A+ Content or automating your prices are just a few of the tools you can use to optimise your e-commerce store. You can find our full list of programmes and resources here.

There are a few regulations that sellers must comply with to sell electronic products on Amazon.

Items that could potentially be considered dangerous goods, represent copyright infringement or come from restricted regions are not permitted. You can read the applicable requirements in the EU and the UK and find a list of permitted and prohibited listings here.

When selling electronics and processing orders within your own company, it is crucial to implement secure shipping and packaging processes. Make sure you pack electronic devices properly to prevent damage or tampering during transportation. You should also consider using tracking and recorded delivery services to increase security.
