Will the monthly rent start to be charged after the Amazon account is successfully registered?

Yes.

By paying this monthly fee, you'll be able to sell in 10 countries. Sign up now to sell in North America, Europe, Japan, and India, and we'll reduce your combined monthly fee to $39.99 for all your accounts. That's a savings of up to $89.00 per month (see footnote 2).

You can take advantage of this advantage in two simple steps.

1. Register an account to sell in the new region. If you already have accounts registered in multiple regions, proceed to step 2.

2. Connect all your accounts (Linked Account).

Your fee savings will automatically be applied to your account at the start of your next billing cycle (you will pay the full rate for each region in the first month). You can view your fee savings in the Transaction Details section of your payment report.

How does Amazon charge monthly service fees?

European Fees:

Monthly fee for professional sellers: 39 EUR or 25 GBP

North America Fees:

Monthly rental for professional sellers: $39.99

Cost in Japan:

Monthly rent for professional sellers: 4,900 yen

Currently, there are still some requirements for new sellers to enter the Indian site, so there is no link for sellers to register themselves on Amazon Global Store.

According to Amazon's new monthly service fee policy, with sites in North America, Europe, Japan, and India all open, charging only one monthly fee really saves sellers a lot of money!

But the question is, is opening multiple sites good or bad for sellers? How long can the monthly service fee discount last? Will it affect other store expenses?
