Amazon Vendor Central

Unlike most other firms, MarketplaceOps has worked with Amazon in nearly every single sales capacity. From FBA to Amazon retail, we know the ins and outs of how to sell your brand on Amazon and the best way to maximize your sales on every channel.

Amazon provides many different opportunities for people to sell on its platform, and Vendor Central is just one of them. With Vendor Central, Amazon takes care of everything. From storing inventory, arranging shipment and returns, pricing, and even customer service — it all sounds like a quick way to increase sales without lifting a finger.

Though simpler than Seller Central, the platform isn’t without its cons. Some pitfalls include unexpected logistical fees from strict fulfillment requirements and pricing controlled by Amazon. This can mean low pricing as Amazon doesn’t follow MAP policies and can adjust the price any time based on their own internal data.

Because of this, many sellers turn to hybrid selling to diversify sales channels. Those looking to lessen the impact of Seller Central’s weaknesses — such as fulfillment costs and relatively lower sales vs. Vendor Central — find that using the Amazon Hybrid Model is an effective strategy for maximizing profitability, expanding your audience reach, and controlling advertisements and product reviews.

Deciding between Amazon Vendor Central, Seller Central, or the Amazon Hybrid Model isn’t as easy as it seems and there are a couple of things to keep in mind when transitioning to a Hybrid Model. These can include retaining your Amazon Prime badge, avoiding penalties and suspensions for mirrored product listings, and keeping your product life cycles alive.
