Selling on the Amazon.ca online marketplace
Getting started on Amazon.ca
Amazon is the world's largest online market place, operating in multiple markets worldwide.
If you are an Amazon UK seller, there are 2 options for setting up on Amazon.ca.
You can create your own seller listing central in amazon.ca and sell to Canadian buyers. You can also use your UK company information to set up a sellers' account, so there is no need to be a Canadian registered company.
The second option is for sellers who are also on Amazon.com (the US based site) who wish to enter the Canadian market, to set up a North America United Account (NAUA). This type of account allows you to list items in the US, Canada and Mexico.
