Thanks, Graeme

Can you use AWS credits for AWS Marketplace?

AWS Credits Since Marketplace billing is handled through AWS, credits can often be used to offset the cost of Marketplace subscriptions, provided the credits are valid and the service is eligible for applying the credit.

How do I convert reserved instances?

Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/ . Choose Reserved Instances, select the Convertible Reserved Instances to exchange, and choose Actions, Exchange Reserved Instance. Select the attributes of the desired configuration, and choose Find offering. Select a new Convertible Reserved Instance.

What is the service fees charged to sell an RI on the marketplace?

Each Reserved Instance sold on the Amazon EC2 Reserved Instance Marketplace will be charged a service fee of 12% on the total upfront price. This charge will be added to your anniversary bill.

From AWS Support:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting AWS. My name is Sadie and I would be happy to help you out today.

I wish I was going to be able to help you more but currently US bank accounts are the only way we have to pay sellers for their RI's. I wish it was just as simple as being able to turn it into AWS credits. However, at this time this is not possible.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Sadie G.
