How much is the deposit?

The exact amount is listed during the sign-up process inside the shop. It is a one-time fee that stays in your balance and acts as collateral while you build history.

Can I sell without photos?

You can, but it hurts conversion. Buyers prefer seeing what they are buying. Text-only listings rarely perform well compared to those with images.

What happens to my deposit in a dispute?

The deposit remains yours unless the dispute results in a penalty against you. In standard disputes, the escrow resolves the issue, but the initial registration fee is not touched.

Selling on Awazon Market

Awazon Market vendor accounts are held by third parties, not the platform itself. The marketplace acts as the infrastructure provider, hosting the listings and managing the escrow. You do not buy from Awazon, you buy from individual sellers who rent space on the platform.

What a vendor needs

To start selling you need a registered account, a paid deposit, and sufficient cryptocurrency to cover withdrawal fees. Sellers provide their own inventory. The platform provides the storefront, the search function and the dispute resolution mechanism.

You are responsible for packaging, shipping and customer service. The marketplace simply facilitates the transaction between buyer and seller. There is no paid advertising inside the marketplace, and you cannot bid for top placement on the homepage.

What buyers see

Your vendor profile displays two key metrics at the top: the number of clean orders and the number of disputes. These numbers are public and visible to every potential buyer. A profile showing 400 clean orders and 1 dispute signals reliability. A profile showing 30 clean orders and 5 disputes signals a problem shop.

Buyers use these stats to make quick decisions. High dispute counts warn shoppers that communication might be difficult or items might arrive damaged. Low clean order counts suggest the shop is brand new and untested. Transparency here replaces traditional reviews with hard data.

The honest limitation

Without internal ads, visibility depends entirely on external promotion. Traffic comes from organic search, direct links and word of mouth. This level playing field means small shops can compete with large ones if they offer better prices or faster shipping.

The flip side: you must drive traffic yourself through forums, social media or personal networks. If nobody knows your shop exists, no amount of low prices will save you. Selling here is a slow-burn game, and the deposit plus escrow-only period is the price of entry.
