What the week looks like at an Amazon seller
An Amazon seller's week begins in Seller Central: account health, buyer messages, listing suppressions, stock levels and inbound shipments. Missed replies and policy warnings can hurt an account fast. Keywords, images and A+ content need changing, and reimbursements have to be claimed by hand. Settlement reports arrive every couple of weeks, full of fees, and only someone patient can tell you what a product really earned.
What an executive assistant does for Amazon sellers
- Schedule supplier and agent calls across very different time zones
- Keep a list of product launches, deposits and decisions due
- Plan sourcing trips and trade show visits
- Prepare a short weekly summary from your reports for review
An executive assistant works for one or two senior people: their calendar, inbox, travel, meeting preparation and follow-ups. The job is judgment about what reaches the boss and what does not, so it suits owners who already lose hours every week to coordination.
Tools Amazon sellers commonly use
- Amazon Seller Central
- Helium 10
- Excel
- Google Workspace
- QuickBooks
- Xero
- Canva
- Slack
Common in this kind of business, not a checklist: name your own stack in the brief.
How to test a candidate for an Amazon seller
Give a week with a factory call at an awkward hour, a deposit due, and a trade show to book. Ask for a plan and two emails. Check the time conversions, and whether the deposit date reaches the top of the list.
What to keep in-house or check first
Keep the account owner login, bank details and deposit method with you, and add people through Seller Central's own user permissions with their own logins. Keep final decisions on policy appeals, and do not let anyone use tactics Amazon forbids, such as incentivised reviews. Amazon's rules change often, and your account carries the risk.
General caution, not legal advice: check the rules that apply to you with a qualified adviser.

Choose a country: shared hours
Most of this work runs from a task list, so the person does not need your whole day. A few shared hours for the morning inbox review and urgent calendar changes are usually enough.
Against a 9–17 client day in winter[4][5][6][7]; for New York, on a 9–18 local day or a 13–22 shift. Check your own office.
What it costs
On our open vacancies this role pays $800–1,100 a month[3], paid by you to the person. The BLS figure of $76,590 a year is for Executive Secretaries and Executive Administrative Assistants[2] across all industries: we have no separate figure for this niche. Paying through Deel adds $49 a month[8]; Wise and Payoneer also work.

Questions
Does this EA need Amazon experience?
Not much, if your specialists handle Seller Central. Coordination, follow-through and accurate time zones matter more. Experience helps them understand why a stock-out or a late shipment is urgent, so test for good judgment there.
How do I give a remote hire safe access to Seller Central?
Add them as a separate user through user permissions and give view or edit rights by section. Do not share your main login, because Amazon can treat suspicious account access seriously, and buyer data has its own rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
Where can an Amazon seller hire an affordable executive assistant?
The usual routes are a freelance marketplace, an agency with a monthly margin, or a direct hire in a lower-cost country. On Stafka it is a direct hire: you pay the person $800–1,100 a month on our open vacancies[3], plus $2,500–3,000[1] once if you hire, with no monthly margin.
