Hello Again Jude1,


The Pro Merchant is a program allows you to list your items directly on Amazon. 


?Amazon?s Technology and Traffic ? Amazon creates the technology that
helps convert visitors into customers and our search engine marketing
efforts expose your products to more of our 59,000,000 customers.

Shared Success ? Our Pay-for-Performance business model gives both
parties the incentive to work towards shared success.

Fraud Protection ? Amazon provides you with broad protection against
fraud on all of your orders.?


?How it works

List your items on Amazon. You?ll find the tools you need to upload
and list your items in Seller Central (which is the online tool that
enables participants to manage their business on the Amazon site).

We notify you when an order has been placed. We?ll send you an email
letting you know that one of your items has been sold.

You pack and ship your item to the customer (unless you are using
Fulfillment by Amazon).

We deposit payment into your account. We?ll send you an email
notifying you that your payment has been sent.?

Amazon Fulfillment Services 

?Inventory Storage ? You still own your inventory, but we warehouse it. 

Pick, Pack and Ship ? When a customer places an order we pick, pack and ship it. 

Powerful Promotions ? Your items can be combined with other
Amazon-fulfilled items in one shipment, so customers save on shipping
costs. With Fulfillment by
Amazon, you can offer your customers Amazon Prime, free Super Saver
Shipping on qualifying sales through Amazon.com.

Customer Service ? We manage post-order customer service, including
the return and refund process, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.?

How it works

?You send us your inventory
Label, pack and ship your items to Amazon.  
We store your inventory
When we receive your items, we'll store them until an order is placed. 
We fulfill your order
When an order is placed, we'll pick, pack and ship the item, and may
combine it with other items in the same order.
We manage all post-order customer service
We'll manage post-order customer service and handle returns as

Another alternative is the WebStore by Amazon 

?With WebStore, you?ll have an easy-to-use, scalable site that can
showcase your catalog to its greatest potential.

Your store will have the power of Amazon?s search and merchandising
technologies. And through our Associates Program, you can list items
from Amazon on your own WebStore and earn referral fees.

We?ll help you market your products by providing ready access to
preferred providers of integrated email campaign management and search
engine marketing services.?

How it works

?Your Amazon representative will send you registration access. You?ll
register online, provide some basic information, and confirm your
product categories.?
 
Fill your catalog
?If you?re already selling on Amazon, you can automatically upload all
of the products and images you?ve created. Uploading new items, along
with any items from our catalog, is fast and easy.?
 
?Change the layouts of your store, upload banner graphics and other
custom images, and start merchandising.?

? Customers can make purchases using their existing Amazon accounts
and we do all order processing.?

Hi Bobbie7,
Always a pleasure! If I do a search on amazon.com (the main site) for
"Brand X shirts," will "Brand X shirts" show up looking like a regular
product on amazon and will you be able to purchase it like any other
product on amazon?

answer here at Google Answers.
