How difficult/complicated is it to sell internationally on all Amazon platforms
Looking into Amazon information on Tax regulations and different things required for selling internationally, it seems crazy to even be able to get all that information and apply to all the things and then pay all the taxes in each country differently... Seems very complicated
My question is have you guys managed to do that, is it really that complicated or more simple than it sounds?
Looking forward to your replies!

Its absurdly complicated.
My suggestion is to be absolutely sure that you are optimized in your home platform as there is a ton to do on your home platform that can improve sales even further.

Hi @Seller_gdaJCO96PhcXl,
Tatiana from Amazon here. I can't offer any specific advice about whether or not Global Selling will be the right tactic for you, but I did want to provide you with some introductory resources that might help you decide.
- Amazon Global Selling - start with this page as it provides an overall introduction to Global Selling and a link to the main global selling opportunities page.
- Registration requirements by store - this page will go through the specific requirements needed for starting a store in different locations across the globe.
- Global registration - this page discusses global registration which allows you to create Amazon selling accounts in multiple Amazon stores worldwide through one registration application.
- Taxes and regulations for Amazon Global Selling - on the left hand side in the scrolling menu, you'll see the specific tax information pages for each country listed underneath this page.
Additionally, as @Seller_vSOOwekJLU6c0 stated, if you're already selling in the US it's a good idea to always ensure your listings are in strong and successful place here. Take a look at this past thread from another seller where I discuss ways to improve listings and discoverability.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Tatiana
