Three words to solve the problem of Amazon store opening costs: the basic monthly rent is just the tip of the iceberg, the cost structure varies from site to site, and the hidden costs are often the most fatal. This information is crucial for every Taiwanese manufacturer who wants to enter the global market.
Let's take an in-depth look at the cost issue that everyone is most concerned about. For example, for a professional seller on the US site (in US dollars), the initial preparation costs include hardware facilities, company registration, and tax identification, etc. Taiwan company registration is about $250, while US company registration is about $750 (in Colorado, for example). For a Taiwan company registration, it is about $250, while for a US company, it is about $750 (Colorado for example). This is just the beginning, the real challenge lies in the subsequent operation.
For example, do you know what fee structure is best for your business? Amazon offers two sales plans: the Professional Sales Plan (monthly fee + sales commission) and the Individual Sales Plan (piece rate + sales commission). Here's the kicker: you can choose either of these plans whether you're a company or an individual.
What's even more surprising is that Amazon's sales commissions vary widely, from a low of 6% to a high of 50%! There are also minimum sales commission limits for certain categories. On top of that, there are hidden costs such as refund management fees and multiple item fees. These details are often overlooked by novice cross-border entrepreneurs.
The cost structures of North America, Europe and Japan are also different. Only by fully understanding these fee structures can you navigate through the fierce competition of cross-border e-commerce, precisely control costs and increase profit margins.
