Alongside its official confirmation of a launch in South Africa in 2024, Amazon has opened sign-ups for sellers and details on the fees they will pay.
Amazon plans to offer South African sellers a wider range of warehousing and delivery options on its platform than Takealot does, while initially charging substantially lower monthly base fees.
Since its launch in 1994, Amazon has become the world’s biggest e-commerce company and made founder Jeff Bezos one of the wealthiest people in the world. Key to the success of Amazon’s online marketplace in South Africa will be its ability to attract merchants to its Seller programme. The Professional plan is priced at R400 per month and is aimed at sellers who want to ship over 40 items per month.
Alternatively, Amazon allows a seller to use their own warehouse but have Amazon handle the deliveries — a service it calls Amazon Easy Ship.The most comprehensive package — called Fulfilment by Amazon — includes your product listings, Amazon warehouse storage, and delivery by Amazon.
