Premium course · Self-paced

Sell on Amazon Europe.
Done right the first time.

The specialist course for getting into Germany — and France, Italy, Spain — without a suspension, an Abmahnung, or a listing that screams "translated." The compliance maze and the native-quality craft, step by step. Not generic FBA.

Educational course — not legal or tax advice. Compliance facts are dated and kept current; we tell you plainly where a lawyer or tax advisor is needed.

Why this course exists

AI got your German listing 80% there. This course is the 20% that costs you sales — and triggers Abmahnungen.

Two walls stop most foreign sellers in Germany. This course is built to take down both — and they're exactly the parts one-click AI tools and €10 translators can't do.

Wall 1 — Compliance

VAT and the FBA storage trap, EPR (packaging, electronics, batteries), GPSR product safety, PPWR packaging law, and German advertising law where a single word in your title invites a paid cease-and-desist. Miss one and it's a blocked listing, a suspended account, or a five-figure fine.

Wall 2 — Native quality

A German buyer smells a translated listing in two seconds and trusts it less for it. Wrong articles, untranslated mode names, fullwidth punctuation, an unsourced "Testsieger." Each tell quietly costs conversions and rank — and it's the exact 20% AI leaves behind.

Who it's for

A specialist course, not Amazon 101.

For sellers who already know the basics and want Germany/EU done right:

  • A non-German seller (US / UK / EU / Asia) entering or scaling on Amazon Germany
  • A brand owner or ops/agency lead running an EU expansion
  • Anyone who's been burned by a translated listing or a compliance flag

We skip "what is FBA" — that's covered free everywhere. We go deep on the Germany/EU hard parts almost nobody teaches.

What you'll be able to do

By the end, you can:

  • Register for VAT and every EPR stream in the right order — before you ship a unit
  • Make your product GPSR- and PPWR-ready and fill Amazon's compliance fields correctly
  • Phrase claims (Testsieger, guarantees, health, "klimaneutral") so they don't invite a cease-and-desist
  • Rebuild any listing into native-quality, limit-safe, ranking German
  • Choose EFN vs Pan-EU on cost and run a costed 90-day launch
  • Replicate the whole system into France, Italy and Spain

A taste of the depth

"A real test result can still be an illegal ad."

From Lesson 4.2 — the Testsieger trap. In Germany, if a test or seal is recognizable in your listing, you must show a clear source reference (the publication and issue) right next to it — or it's a misleading omission under § 5a UWG and an Abmahnung waiting to happen (settled by the BGH in case I ZR 134/20). You don't even have to be lying: a genuine test, shown wrong, is enough. The course gives you a three-gate test to make any claim compliant — or cut it — in under a minute.

That's one lesson. Every compliance claim in the course is dated and sourced, with the "verify or cut" habit baked in.

We're opening the first 25 spots at a founding price in exchange for your feedback and an honest testimonial — the same way we run our listing pilots. You get the full course and toolkit; we get the proof that makes the next version better.

What it costs to get this wrong is the real anchor: packaging non-registration fines run up to €100,000; missing a dual system, up to €200,000; an unsourced "Testsieger" in your title is a routine Abmahnung. The course pays for itself the first time it stops one of those.

Prefer it done for you? Marktreif also rebuilds listings (from €79) and runs compliance reviews (€49). The course and the service are two doors to the same expertise.

Questions

Before you join.

Is this just a longer version of your free guide?

No. The free guide tells you the four landmines exist. The course shows you how to walk through the minefield — the actual registration steps, the Amazon fields, the claim fixes, the localization craft, the fulfillment and launch decisions — and hands you a working toolkit.

Is it legal or tax advice?

No. It's educational and makes you fluent enough to act and to brief the right specialist. Every compliance fact is dated and sourced, and we say plainly where a German lawyer or a VAT advisor is needed.

Do I need to be an Amazon expert already?

You should know the basics (Seller Central, FBA, listings). This is a Germany/EU specialist course, not Amazon 101 — we spend the time on the hard, high-stakes parts.

Will it stay current as rules change?

Yes — that's why it's written, not locked in video. Founding members get free updates as the dated items (PPWR, the 2026 import changes, Green Claims) take effect.
