亚马逊开店成本全解析：从注册到运营的完整预算指南
个人能否在亚马逊开店？ (Can individuals open Amazon stores?)
在开始之前，我们需要明确一个常见问题：个人能否在亚马逊开店？从技术上讲是可以的 - 美国、英国、中国香港和中国大陆的居民都可以以个人身份注册。然而，对于初次接触亚马逊的卖家，特别是从淘宝、速卖通等平台转来的卖家，我们不建议以个人身份开店。
Why? Many beginners think Amazon only requires the $39.99 monthly fee, but in reality, inventory, shipping, and promotion costs are much higher. Without sufficient capital, it's difficult to sustain store operations.
亚马逊开店主要成本构成 (Main cost components of Amazon store setup)
1. 公司注册费用
建议使用公司注册而非个人注册。公司注册通过率更高，后期审核风险更低。
Cost: If you register the company yourself, the cost is minimal. Using an accounting firm for bookkeeping typically costs 150-200 RMB/month.
2. 店铺月租
北美站专业销售计划月租为39.99美元(约275元人民币)，其他站点根据汇率略有不同。
Monthly fee: $39.99 for North America Professional Selling Plan. Individual plan charges $0.99 per item but with limited features.

4. 国内物流费用
产品从工厂到出口港的运输费用，通常工厂有合作物流提供优惠价格。
Domestic shipping: Cost from factory to port, usually with discounted rates from factory partners.
5. 头程费用
中国港口到亚马逊仓库的运输费用，主要有三种方式：
Shipping methods:

Express: Fastest but most expensive ($33/kg to US) - 空加派: 时效和服务较好(美国36元/kg)
