Amazon reseller account, ¥10-25M revenue, 40 ratings, 3 years run

What is for sale

This is an Amazon marketplace reselling business that has been run for about 3 years, selling games, toys, appliances, daily goods and other items sourced from wholesalers. The sale includes the Amazon seller account, its stock, and the operating know-how built up over that time. The seller says they want to sell quickly due to a strategic review and a shift of focus to a new business.

This is an asset sale of inventory, know-how and the Amazon account itself, not a company, so the buyer takes over the account and stock rather than acquiring a legal entity.

What is included

• Existing inventory
• Operating know-how / manual (200+ pages)
• The Amazon seller account itself
• Introductions to 23 wholesale suppliers
• List of proven repeat-selling products
• 3 months of after-sales support from the seller

Strengths (as the seller states them)

• Amazon account has about 40 buyer ratings and roughly ¥10 million annual sales track record
• Established account is said to make it easier to win the 'Buy Box' even at matching or higher prices
• Seller has handled multiple account transfers before and says the handover process is smooth
• Can reportedly be run by part-time staff or outsourced workers using the supplied manual

Wrinkles a careful buyer would ask about

• Seller states profits grow poorly if the buyer works fewer than about 10 hours a month on it
• Buyer needs separate working capital for inventory, which is not included in the asking price
• Transfer of external platform accounts like Amazon may be restricted by Amazon's own policies, so this needs confirming during negotiation
• Reported profit margin is around 20 percent, so margins are thin and dependent on sourcing
• Financial figures are shown only as broad bands, not exact figures, so real revenue and profit should be verified

Paying for it

If you stay overseas. No Japanese bank will lend to a new company whose director lives abroad. The realistic stack is your own cash plus asking the owner to take part of the price over 2 to 3 years. That one question is in every Deal Pack.

If you move to Japan. On a visa that lets you run a business, Japan Finance Corporation lends up to ¥72M at about 1 to 2 percent for exactly this. Once you have a Japanese company, the government pays two-thirds of due diligence and registered-broker costs, up to about ¥8M (round 16 closes 6 Nov 2026). You start a bank relationship from zero.

What this listing says. No broker success fee is mentioned, the text actually states the buyer pays no commission; however the buyer will need separate funds for ongoing inventory purchases, and the text says nothing about any debts, loans or personal guarantees attached to the business.
