I got an invitation and filled out the application. It was quite detailed and I had to make statements regarding my process and how I got started. I'll let you know what happens.
I'll have to see what Amazon ends up with. They certainly have the customer base. Etsy has gotten too big for their britches. Let's hope Amazon fills their lost niche.

I've heard about it, but haven't been invited. Their fee structure is on the high side, but they have so much built in traffic it'll probably prove to be worth the cost. Gayle, I'll be interested to hear/read about how your experience with Amazon works out. Good luck! Dawn

It seems that now everyone can apply for it, at least all countries are listed in the application form.

Thanks, ladies! I'm excited to find out more! If you go to the link, you can apply. It's worth a try. Cat, is Germany included in the list of countries?

I think they used the standard list of countries. Germany is there as well. I haven't thought about applying, though.

Have to think it over.

Gayle, I'm considering applying as well. I see that they are waiving their $39.99 monthly fee until August 2016. I assume that when August, 2016, rolls around, if a person isn't selling well enough to justify that fee, they have the option to close down their shop. I didn't see anything about that in my quick perusal of their online literature and will look more closely later when I have time. Do you know anything about that? All that built-in traffic is kind of hard to resist! Plus, it seems that it would be prudent to set up shop before the Christmas rush starts and to get a full year of the monthly fee waiver. Dawn

Dawn, I think the monthly fee being waived until 2016 is good motivation to give AH a try. I don't know anything else about it, as the info hasn't arrived yet. I'm looking forward to getting something soon!!!
I would think they would get us going pretty soon, due to the potential holiday sales.
I'm glad you decided to hop on board!
