Have you looked to find a way to be able to get your payments from Amazon to a Swedish bank account?

When I set up my business account at the bank I talked to the guy working there about in the future looking at the possibilities to scale my business overseas as well (currently selling in Sweden), and we talked about receiving payments from overseas and he said that was a very complicated thing to get accepted, it needed to be a voting at a board in the bank and only if the majority found it to be "good" they would accept it.

Maybe it is different at other banks I dont know but just giving you a heads up that it might be a complicated process, and that looking for a solution for that might be something you want to do before getting alot of products up on there and then not being able to receive your hard earned money.

Use a WorldFirst account, it will be cheaper for you to transfer to your Swedish account.

Use a WorldFirst account, it will be cheaper for you to transfer to your Swedish account.

And when your volume picks up get a USD account at your Swedish bank. That way you avoid changing your USD to kronor and then back to USD to pay your suppliers.

Tjenare! ;) Nice to see more Scandinavians on here, hehe..

@mosdef - Have you considered going the route of setting up your own Shopify site and run traffic from places like FB ads and Instagram? Better margins then Amazon, more control, and possibly also more volume. I think the Scandinavian versions of Amazon are still not that ingrained in consumers' minds there as it is here in the states.
