How To Sell Mobile on Amazon?
The process to sell phone on Amazon is a simple DIY procedure. But to sustain as a seller & make a profit, it’s essential to plan your business. Here’s how you can do that:
#Choose The Right Models to Sell
The smartphone world is ever-expanding. However, users of basic mobiles (without Internet support) still exist, perhaps fewer in number. So, decide if you’re only going to sell smartphones or both basic & smartphones. You should determine which brands you’ll be stocking and the specific models based on the categories.
To make this decision easier, research the models that buyers are looking for, the latest additions in each brand, fast-moving/bestselling models among competing brands & sellers, quality of each product and so on.
#Get The Pricing Right
As you get to determine the final seller’s price, ensure that you also consider other charges such as referral fees, taxes, and so on levied by Amazon on a seller. More importantly, your pricing should seem attractive in comparison to other sellers.

#Tarashme’s Tip
While listing your products, make sure that your product description is accurate. This will be beneficial for search optimization and give the buyer more clarity on which product fulfills their needs. When you sell phone on Amazon, unlike some other categories like food or clothing, even slight variations in specifications may not be OK with the buyer. This will lead to returns, thereby affecting your profitability badly.
#Bonus Tip
Smartphones & electronics, in general, are products that users will compare a lot before zeroing in on something. Therefore, ensure that your listing makes it feasible & convenient for comparison. Include infographics in your product listings to communicate information to the buyer effortlessly.
