Amazon.com is a high-traffic site with lots of shoppers looking to buy. Amazon is a trusted company, provides an easy-to-buy platform and offers lots of other benefits to sellers. If you are a small business owner, you can gain lots of exposure listing your products on their site, and it doesn't have to cost you very much.
In a nutshell, here is how it works:
You upload your inventory to the Amazon.com website. Shoppers view your items and purchase them through the secure payment system on Amazon. You then ship the products to your customers and Amazon sends you a check.
Selling through amazon, you don't have to buy and design a website. You don't have to purchase a merchant account for accepting credit cards. Amazon takes care of that for you, so you have less up front costs and less work with every sales transaction. It's like a very inexpensive staff that you get to work for you (The monthly fee is only $39.99 to sell professionally, plus transaction fees).
 You can sign up to sell your products in a variety of categories (not just books), including music, video, baby, beauty, camera and photo, electronics, grocery and gourmet food, health and personal care, home and garden, musical instruments, office products, personal computers, software, sports and outdoors, toys and games, tools and hardware, video games and more.
