1) accurate information

3) barcodes as they are mandatory
4) no duplicate listings
5) no offensive or restricted products permitted

Conversion
Conversion is driven by the three things customers look for when shopping online: competitive pricing, fast and accurate shipping times, and great customer service. Focusing on these three factors will also help you get featured in the Buy Box, which is a powerful tool to lift conversion and increase sales.
Key Takeaways:
• Use the Automate Pricing Tool to ensure you stay sharp on your pricing across the board. You can set competitive pricing rules to compete against other sellers, as well as sales-based pricing rules to adjust prices based on your own sales. Remember, setting min/max prices ensures you’re always in control and can guarantee the minimum margins you wish to make
• Configure your Shipping Settings to set accurate and different transit times by region
• Regularly monitor your performance metrics in the Account Health Dashboard in Seller Central to ensure you’re delivering a great customer experience. Check and respond to any Performance Notifications you receive related to your account health

Fulfilment
Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) can grow your sales, via increased traffic and shopper conversion, as well as reduce your shipping costs. In 2018, in Australia, products with a sale saw an average 25% uplift after converting to FBA.
Key takeways:
• When selecting products to send into FBA, start with products that are already selling, or those that have been more successful in other marketplaces
• It is better to send in a wide selection (i.e., many different products), rather than a deep selection (i.e. many of the same products), as this provides you a better understanding of which products sell best in FBA
