Amazon Retail Arbitrage Holiday Planning for Q4: What to sell, when to prep, key dates, and more!

[@mrt5040]

Thanx! Also, for those toy compliance emails: go to Account health and at the bottom right, click 'view all' and appeal it.

[@samanthaseeman9212]

Girl, you keep me going! I had to stop my business due to a medical emergency and I'm finally healthy enough to start working again. I've been watching your videos to get my drive back and learn your tips and tricks. Thank you so much. 💗

[@tcasale629]

Thank you thank you thank you for clearing up the Q4 FBM requirements. This will be my 1st Q4 and I started doing some grocery items fbm and wasn't sure if my sales to date would count OR if the category would count, so thank you for clearing that up! I have 4 kids and always start thinking about Xmas this time of year, but having the opportunity to make money instead of just spending money is SO EXCITING!! happy sourcing!!

[@NikkiKirk]

Awesome! You’re welcome and I can’t wait to hear how your first Q4 goes!

[@FuzzFam]

This was pure gold. Thank you Nikki. This will be my first Q4, can't wait for the ride!

[@NikkiKirk]

Awesome!! It’s going to be fun!!

[@dawnpetges5787]

Thanks for the info, Nikki! I am trying to prep now for my 1st Q4! It is already getting exciting!!!

[@darialand7465]

Such great information Nikki. Love how you are concise and roll this out in such an understandable and logical order. Thank you!

[@BalazarsBrain]

Funding.. apply for some rewards credit cards (cash back, miles, etc). Now you have funding to cover that 2-week pay gap, and you're earning rewards like $750 travel credit for $4k spent or something similar. Only do this if you are disciplined enough to pay off your card.

[@jasoncuthbert6566]

You are freaking awesome!, thank you for the great info

[@ronmassey2834]

Thanks for the teaching

[@oliviabierman4601]

How do you know everything you buy is going to sell? Do you ever once a month or quarter request back the stuff hasn’t sold? Or how do you find out what hasn’t sold and what do you do with that stuff?

[@walkinfaithnotbysight]

This video is super jam packed with info! Thanks Nikki!!

[@NikkiKirk]

Thanks!

[@saviourangels1963]

Hey Nikki, love your energetic and informative videos, pls keep them coming. When I feel down on selling, watching you have motivated me to keep on trying, so thank you for all of your motivating videos! Question, on average how long of a turn around are the products that you sell via FBA Vs FBM? I have not started doing FBA cause if the product doesn't sell I feel that it takes longer to get it back from Amazon while with FBM I have the option to return it to the store. What's your strategy on slower moving product? Is the estimated number of product sales via Jungle Scout estimator pretty accurate? Thanks so much in advance! Keep on rockin' Xoxo

[@christopherm.esparza705]

Sincerely appreciate you!

[@brandonestelle6318]

Great info! Thanks for sharing, Nikki!

[@Kim50fabulous]

As always thanks for the information and continued motivation 😉

[@lindaboen5470]

Hi Nikki! New to your videos. I am wanting to do Amazon FBA/FBM but not sure where to begin. There is so much information out there, its overwhelming. What is your recommendation on my 1st step to keep me selling the quickest? Thanks!

[@Dawn-S]

Awesome information, as usual!!

[@lilygirl8446]

In RA you are going to every store by yourself, what about those who are not residing in USA, Does this model still profitable for them?

[@jesskinner1559]

Do you have any videos explaining VAT?

[@NikkiKirk]

No because I don’t sell anywhere that has it. It’s just the European tax like sales tax here

[@davidnguyen369]

Hi Nikki thank you for sharing your inputs, I have a question . How fast are Q4 sales compared to Q1 or Q2 ? thank you

[@fish-on1679]

You said you got ungated in toys your second 4th quarter. Did you apply? Or automatically get ungated ? How did you find out ?

[@lorymallea2059]

I want to start with Amazon seller.....any video you suggest to help me ??

[@loveRP_Penasco]

Great info. Thank you

[@atlflytguy]

I read if you buy your shipping through Amazon the delivery is automatically verified and you do get paid earlier.

[@NikkiKirk]

Yes you get paid when it delivers as opposed to when it says it’ll be delivered. So say it gets there Monday instead of Wednesday now you get your money 7 days from Monday instead of 7 days from Wednesday

[@yoursummerlinneighbor9426]

Do you have any advice how to obtain compliance docs for My Life As dolls??

[@morrisfurs]

Generally speaking, how much money do you tie up on how many items with Amazon? Also, how many days per week do you shop for product?

[@NikkiKirk]

I spend $1200-4000 a week typically around $2000 and I source just once a week. During Q4 as I said I do more.

[@Stephaniedawn91]

I have been going hard on research. I already got my mailer for address. I have my video call on tuesday. Im excited.

[@win2win999]

If I get ungated in LEGO can I sell lego batman marvel iron man star wars etc ? Or I can ONLY sell lego ?

[@similemiller7861]

This is great information! I have a question: How long can an items sit in inventory at the fulfillment center before Amazon starts charging additional fees?

[@chalonw]

90 days

[@dessahc2704]

How many items can you keep in the store?

[@TheDenzendunc]

Great content as always! For the toy compliance, does everyone on the listing need to submit the requirements, or is one submission from any seller on the listing enough?

[@Bethyj2u]

Just one need to be submitted, not everyone.

[@chalonw]

One

[@emileemoresco4190]

If we were to buy Q4 guide or other guides would we get the updated versions everytime their updated or would we have to repurchase?

[@NikkiKirk]

Hey Emilee! They’re not updated often and any updates you’d already know about from the groups.

[@emileemoresco4190]

@@NikkiKirk alright thanks, I mentioned somewhere else about nexus can you explain or make another video how you calculate sales tax for other states please

[@Thewaywardtravellers64]

I am so confused. I scanned a few toys I could sell through retail arbitrage, FBM, bouight a few more. Now, after seliing a few, they need compliance docs...child product and safety. How on earth do you get those if your retail source? Makes no sense. Other sellers have listngs already too.

[@yoursummerlinneighbor9426]

I got the same compliance issue for one toy I have listed. I tried to appeal and it got declined. Researched Google and found nothing helpful. 😣 I will ask them to return the toys and delete the listing to keep my account in good standing.

[@jeffdorris5321]

Nice work 🎆

[@grisgonzalez6856]

Is it too late to try to get ungated for q4?

[@heatherhuddleston163]

If i am selling arbitrage for the first time living in florida would it be worth it to get ungated for toys ? or is it too late

[@CJSPENO]

Great job again . . 🤑

[@Thewaywardtravellers64]

The ungating package? Purchasing it , does it just tell you how to get ungated or does this actually get you what you need as far as documents and give you the tools all that are required to do the process with Amazon?

[@NikkiKirk]

Hey Patricia! It gives you the suppliers and info to get ungated quick and easy but you still have some work to do to find the right products from them and place your order. It’s all outlined in the guide how to do it

[@gilliantoerpe6904]

On the payability website, what would you put for Company Name?

[@NikkiKirk]

Whatever your legal company name is so it may be your name or a DBA or whatever you’ve named your company if you have a business license

[@gilliantoerpe6904]

Nikki Kirk what if i don’t have a business license? Would i just put my name?

[@DarElBarka]

Anyone has gotten the emails Amazon yet? This is my first Q4 and want to make sure i meet all requirements to sell toys FBM

[@freetobe343]

Yay! Thank you so much! I might get the guide

[@whodidit99]

Don't you have credit cards?

[@NikkiKirk]

I had one my first Q4 and it was maxed which was why I needed that money. Today yes I have multiple business cards
