Overview

Amazon has offered a promotional subscription fee waiver designed specifically for sellers based in Mexico and Brazil who are expanding their businesses to sell internationally on Amazon's global marketplaces. This program significantly reduces the barrier to entry for cross-border selling by replacing the standard $39.99 monthly Professional selling plan fee with a discounted rate during the first three months of a new account registration.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Massive savings on subscription fees — Eligible sellers pay just $1 total for their first three months of selling, instead of the standard $39.99 per month. That amounts to savings of roughly $119 during the promotional period.

• Geographic eligibility is strict — Only sellers with a tax domicile in Mexico or Brazil qualify for this promotion. Sellers based in other countries are not eligible, regardless of where they sell.

• First-time international sellers only — The waiver applies exclusively to sellers who are registering for the first time to sell outside their home country. If you already operate in an international Amazon store, you do not qualify.

• Registration window has closed — The promotional period required registration between approximately early 2023 and the end of 2024. Sellers who did not register within this window are no longer eligible for this specific offer.

• Credit card is still required — Even with the promotional pricing, sellers must provide valid credit card details at registration. The $1 fee is charged immediately, and standard subscription fees apply once the promotional period ends.

How the Fee Waiver Works

The subscription fee waiver follows a straightforward structure. During the first month after registration, Amazon charges a discounted subscription fee of $1 instead of the usual $39.99. For the second and third months, the subscription fee is waived entirely at $0 per month. After this three-month promotional window closes, the standard Professional selling plan fee of $39.99 per month resumes automatically and is charged to the credit card on file.
