Welcome to the New Seller Community, we're excited you're here!

As a new seller and member of the community, you'll have the ability to ask questions, get advice from peers, and learn from educational posts highlighting best practices and programs available to help you sell in Amazon's store during your first 18 months. We hope you'll become an active member by posting, commenting, and sharing your experience with other new sellers. Once a seller reaches 18 months of being part of the New Seller Community, they will be automatically removed from the group and will be provided an in-forum notification once removed.

Just getting started? We recommend visiting these threads to acquaint yourself with the New Seller Community.
Welcome to the New Seller Community

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who is eligible for membership in the New Seller Community and how can I join?
   Only sellers registered to sell in Amazon's store for less than 18 months are eligible to participate in the New Seller group. You will be automatically added to this group based on your eligibility. You will receive a notification before you are removed from the group.
2. I'm new to selling in Amazon's store. Why don't I have access to this group?
   We're adding new sellers to the group every few days, so there might be a short delay between the time you're approved and when you can post. If you don't yet have access, please check back in a couple of days. In the meantime, we encourage you to visit other threads in Seller Forums to ask a question or take part in a discussion.
3. Who can contribute and post in the New Seller Community?
   All Seller Forums members can read New Seller group threads but only group members can post or interact in the New Seller group.
4. Can I still post and engage in the larger Amazon seller forum after I leave the New Seller Community?
   Absolutely! The purpose of this change is not to remove you from the broader seller community. After your 18-month tenure is up and you transition out of the New Seller group, you'll still be able to participate fully in the general Amazon seller forums just like all of thousands of other sellers who are not a part of a group today.
5. What is the reasoning behind this 18-month tenure?
   The New Seller Community group was created to provide specialized support and resources for individuals who are new to selling with Amazon. After 18 months, we've found that most sellers have developed a solid foundation and are ready to engage beyond just the "new seller" designation and even have the ability to share their experiences and guidance with others. Transitioning members out of the New Seller group at that 18-month mark allows us to keep the community focused on supporting those who are truly in the earliest stages of their Amazon selling journey. It ensures the group remains useful and welcoming for new sellers coming in. Of course, just because you leave the New Seller group doesn't mean you lose access to the wealth of information and community support available to all Amazon sellers.
6. How do I opt-out of the New Seller Community?
   If you decide you don't want to be a member of the New Seller group, you may opt-out here at any time. Please note that removal can take up to 7 business days.
