Anyone use Amazon as a selling platform for physical products?

[OzzieRob]

Just wondering if there are any Australian's out there selling physical products on Amazon?

Ebay is the platform i've been using full-time for quite a few years and it is actually good although their policy changes makes for a lot of work !

Amazon Australia has categories for kindle books, audio books, app store but NO physical products.

The only barriers to entry selling on Amazon US is needing a US bank account, customers who order will be mostly in the same country as the Amazon store setup and shipping time would be up to a month and will not be as competitive as other sellers due to the much higher shipping fees involved.

Recently, i started checking out employment websites NOT to look for a job but to see which businesses are setting themselves up on ebay, amazon, google etc...Interesting to note which businesses are doing well.

Cheers
Rob

Check out @Kerin12 's great thread. She sells a thing or two on Amazon US and EU from AUS. Everything you ask about is covered in her progress thread. US bank account via payoneer if I remember right.
