At the end of every month, Valet Seller will send you a report of your sales and a bank transfer of your earnings.

The marketplaces charge 15% of sales. Valet Seller charges an additional 10%. If you generate $10,000 in sales each month, your distribution is $7,500.

We charge a 10% commission on sales and have a low monthly fee for managing your listings. The monthly fee varies based on the number of products that you sell with Valet Seller.

As much as we love unique and innovative products, we do need to have a quantity of at least 25 of the same product.

If you decide to use Valet Seller’s fulfillment solution, all orders will be delivered to customers within 2-3 days. This option also qualifies you to receive an ‘Amazon Prime’ badge on your Amazon.com listing, which can further incentivize customers to buy your products.

When making the expansion to marketplace e-commerce, business owners typically decide whether they will open their own seller accounts or utilize resellers & wholesalers to distribute their product on the marketplaces.

With Valet Seller, you can do both. Access a network of established online retailers and connect your existing channels for a centralized experience.

To illustrate the pros and cons of creating your own seller accounts, I will compare Amazon and Walmart to a retail mall.

• The owner of the mall is Amazon or Walmart.
• The 3rd party sellers on Amazon or Walmart are the kiosks and small retail shops located in the mall.
• The largest and most established 3rd party sellers are the department stores within the mall.

The larger and more established marketplace sellers can be compared to the department stores in physical retail. There are a unique set of benefits for selling in the department stores when compared to selling in your own kiosk or shop within the mall.

• They have better marketing opportunities and greater reach.
• They attract more customers because of the vast selection of products.
• They have a respected reputation.
• They can launch new products quickly and effectively.
• They manage customer service and logistics.

There may be times when a brand or seller should open their own store. For example, an enterprise seller that doesn’t want to pay a commission to the department store, and has the resources to hire a team to manage their own shop. This gives the seller more control over their shop.
