Thank you for the methods, really helpful.

Hi Thomas. Glad I found your videos. It's a big help for a starter like me.

[@Vend2Quit]

These are some sweet tips, thanks Thomas. I get stuck when sourcing and end up in an endless circle of not finding anything, so thanks for this video!

No problem, glad I could help

Thanks for the feedback Tom

Nice one

[@ournatureperspective5137]

Great video, much appreciated for helping us, One question is about the last product single vs pack price, when u see the single price was about 7, while in pack it was 15 to 18, how u compare the single product price with pack of 2, where there is only 1 piece for 7, and not mentioned in packs ..?

Do you have a video for storefront stalking and reverse sourcing? Thanks! More power Thom!

[@FastTrackFBA]

Yup! I have lots of sourcing type videos in my channel.

[@carevemaravellas1729]

Hi, do you have most updated videos about product sourcing for online arbitrage? would love to watch it too. thank you in advance :)

[@FastTrackFBA]

YEs I do have, you cna check my channel I have a playlist about product sourcing and different sourcing methods.

[@clivey5]

Hi Tom, can you still do the German Keepa search since brexit? Also do you have to change any Keepa settings to get the graphs up when you hover over products? Thanks.

[@FastTrackFBA]

Hey, I'll the German Keepa in our list. For the Keepa settings, you might want to check this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2jFf42fpqlmnck .

[@amazonfbalifestyle7298]

Hey Thomas! Not sure if you mentioned it but for A2A it's often Amazon price matching other websites. I.E toothbrushes, so then you can reverse search that Philips toothbrush and use their 15% off discount for even cheaper!! :D

Wow! That's clever! Thanks for the tip! Still I'm waiting for your You Tube channel!

Hi Thomas, can A2A get your account banned ie. Is it against their TOC? Is ok to use the same Amazon seller account or do you require two separate accounts?

[@MySquibbs]

Hi Thomas. When you were describing doing the Amazon flipping. Do you do that through a business account, or your personal? I noticed that you happened to be in your business account in the vid, but wanted to make sure if I have to create a business account first. Brilliant video thank you

Greetings! Sid here, representing the Service Team at Fast Track FBA. Although I may not have the exact solution you need, I encourage you to consider asking your question within Tom's dedicated Facebook community. He's known to be responsive there.

[@catmirela1533]

Hi Thomas! Great tips, tks! When you buy Amazon flips/ Keepa deals you said not to use Prime shipping..ok. But you buy through a buyer account with info matching your seller account- so buy as a company, to be able to have an Amazon invoice and after that to sell through my pro-seller account?

[@FastTrackFBA]

Yes that is correct

[@FastTrackFBA]

Just don't use a prime account with free prime shipping, this is against TOS

[@catmirela1533]

@@FastTrackFBA thanks a lot! Can I have 2 buyer accounts-for me personally and for a company ?

[@FastTrackFBA]

Two things to consider before you try flips 1) Its not approved. This is so far as say Amazon has not said that you can do it. I cant see that they say you can't do it but that does not mean you can. Remember its Amazon's platform and they can and do change the 'rules' at any time 2) Read this www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/303650-beware-amazoncom-account-closed-due-to-exceeding-purchase-limits/ I tried what you said and got orders cancelled. I guess I was flagged on Amazon's system. My worry was that Amazon could shut my buying accounts AND selling accounts and they would refuse to accept refunds for the stock that I purchased on the buying accounts. As a result I would be left with lots of stock that I would only shift on eBay

[@bru1046]

Hi Tom, great content and amazing tips ( new subscriber here 😉.) I just have a quick question if you don't mind. I am a brand new Amazon seller, and I set up alongside my full time job, so just been hustling here and there, but I have recently been made redundant from my job and wanted to up the scales of my Amazon business. Although, I have set up my Amazon account as my own personal name and I am paying for the professional seller account and all I do is online and store arbitrage, my question is, now that I want to up the scale should I set myself as a sole trader? Also, if I have a lot of sales and everything would I be better off creating a limited company instead? I'm so confused about all these tax problems and regulations, because I already have my seller account under my name and if I decide to go on the limited company road,is it hard to change this from my own name as sole trader into the limited company account? Thank you so much for your help and keep up the good work! Bruno

[@FastTrackFBA]

Are you a USA or UK seller? My first advice would be is that establish your business as a Limited company. It would efficient for you and your Amazon business especially when you hit 15K in sales.

[@bru1046]

@@FastTrackFBA thank you so much for your reply Tom, yeah I was really thinking about going through the LTD route, I'm a UK seller! Just another one for you, since I set up my account as my own name and all, won't Amazon assume that I am a sole trader and have created my account as such even though I haven't actually added any sole trader details? If they did, how would I change this? Sorry about all these questions 😅

[@FastTrackFBA]

@@bru1046 When you hit the 15K disbursemnt limit, they will ask details about your Amazon business and this inlcudes what type of entity is your Amazon business. By this, you can provide details that your company is an Ltd company.

[@bru1046]

How can you make sure the VA is not sharing the same deals elsewhere for money?

[@FastTrackFBA]

We have meetings with them and we check their screen all the time using a tool

[@lorrainebracken4327]

Great tips.. I am new to amazon so I am concerned about Amazon's clampdown on online arbitrage. What if you buy all your products through online retailers and Amazon asks for an invoice, what do you do? Any advice would be great, thanks

[@FastTrackFBA]

Great question. In the US Amazon has been known to stop accepting Walmart invoices, but in the UK at the moment (2020 Jan) Amazon has been ok with Major retailer receipts for proof of authentication of branded good, but this could change. The wont however accept retail receipts for ungating though so you will need a wholesaler for that. There is always risk with OA and I won't say its 100% safe as Amazon hold the rule book and dont tell you exactly what the book says or when the rules change, but on the other side having access to the Amazon marketplace allows you to grow and make money quickly

[@soldominicsoliva2734]

Hello sir, how many products in 8 an hour work will you find by doing manual research only? Thank you.

[@FastTrackFBA]

Great question and it can depend on a number of factors and we dont even like to report the number of "deals", you might be happy with just 2 or it could be 20. Most people talk about 10 per day of good deals, although this misleading because I can be happy with just 3 good deals from my team. It all depends on the deal. One deal is not the same as another deal

[@soldominicsoliva2734]

@@FastTrackFBA I agree with you sir, thank you very much!

[@bwb3881]

@@FastTrackFBA Did my first full day of researching yesterday, unfortunately found no deals. Most on the first look good deals were mismatches because Amazon listing had different quantities (usually 10) then the source it found, so there was no profit or even negative. Then, usually the Keepa graph indicated that the price is too high at the moment, and once i have it in stock i can not sell it for the reffered price. I am a beginner and probably this it the problem. I dont think there are not enough good deals out there, right?

[@carmelabalos4714]

If you do Amazon Flipping, once you list those products on Amazon, then you’ll end up competing with Amazon. Is that right?

[@FastTrackFBA]

In most cases yes. The point here is you can lower your prices against Amazon while achieving profits. Note that you only do Amazon flipping when there is a Prime day.
