What is Amazon Handmade? Amazon Handmade Review, Features

Amazon Handmade is an e-commerce platform established by Amazon specifically for sellers of handicrafts. It was officially launched in October 2015. All products on the Handmade platform must be handmade. The categories that can be sold on the platform include accessories, baby products, toys and games, jewelry, home décor, artwork, stationery and party supplies, kitchen and dining, and furniture. Sellers who have sold products through the US Handmade platform do not need to reapply for a Handmade account in the European market.

Platform Rules

1. Amazon Handmade allows sellers to upload one main picture for each product, and each listing can add 8 auxiliary pictures for free. The main picture only shows the product, cannot be a drawing or illustration, and cannot include accessories, props, etc. that are not actually in the order.

2. Sellers cannot add videos to listings, but Amazon itself can add videos for sellers, but only some sellers who are invited can do so.

3. To sell on Amazon Handmade, sellers need to apply and pass the review. Sellers are also required to sell products that are only made by themselves or by a team of less than 20 people. Sellers can also set their own production time and even provide customized products, but the production time on Amazon is set to a maximum of 30 days. 4. After applying and being approved, sellers can add products through Amazon, but sellers must add information for each listing, and products cannot be imported from other websites on Amazon.
