Advice for New Sellers | How to Sell on Amazon FBA for Beginners

[@jojidavenport]

I totally agree that used books is the best category to get started in! Mistakes will be cheap and you'll get to learn the business model, such as how to read keepa charts, ship items to the warehouse, etc.

[@thegardenstatepicker]

I always felt like it’s just too much work, which takes away from what I love about reselling. I also kind of stopped buying on Amazon because the prices are usually higher, and shipping speeds are similar to other retail chains. Like the fisherman to the businessman haha. I’m happy aiming for 6 figs a year on eBay selling interesting things I love, and I know some that are in 7. But that is 100% just me! I appreciate your passion and knowledge which is why I watch.

[@ReezyResells]

Yeah I hear ya. Amazon is all business, but you could be doing $30K a month on amazon far easier than on eBay. Usually good amazon sellers are doing in 30 days what good eBay sellers are doing in 90

[@thegardenstatepicker]

@@ReezyResells it might be the sourcing aspect to it as well. I legit love the thrill of treasure hunting in someone’s house vs. retail arbitrage or sourcing bulk DS. I totally get what you’re saying about eBay vs. Amazon for high volume. That’s is incredible! Anytime I see passion and authenticity in something, like you have, it’s motivating at whatever level.

Hi reezy! I noticed you said you use keepa for your product analysis. Do you use jungle scout at all? Do you think keepa is the better choice of the two?

[@ReezyResells]

That's not apples to apples. Keepa is for price and sales/volume history and general use for anything. It can do some searching that's similar to JS, but JS is more for private label research

Hi, how scalable is online arbitrage model? Are there any cons to it as compared to the fba wholesale model? Thanks for the wonderful content you are making. 👌

[@ReezyResells]

Yes it's very scalable, using third party prep centers, and VA sourcers/buyers you can really ramp up your output There's always pros and cons to everything but the main con would be that you have to constantly look for new products vs re ordering them like wholesale. That being said, the profits are usually much higher and it's faster to get started. It's also a much less sellable business model

[@dermediterranehaider4671]

To the first question:, prices can be volatile so looking for the recent prices and the prices of other merchants is really usefull. 39:35 you mean the best selling item in it´s category. Thanks for the great tipps

You won't be able to find authentic shoe boxes unless you're buying from a reseller who sells them without the boxes. Your best bet is white plain shoe boxes from Uline. Also get tissue paper and it will look nice

So i started selling shoes on Amazon however i get returns to be expected doing FBA amazon will put some of the returns back in inventory as sellable. Should i trust amazon to accept returns as sellable or should i have the FBA shoe returns sent back to me for me to inspect then send them back in or sell on a different platform ? I dont want amazon to say a FBA shoe return is sellable then for some reason let's say amazon didnt inspect the return correctly and get a bad customer experience. What do you do when you sell shoes ?

[@ReezyResells]

I would let it ride, if you get a bad feedback for it, you can get it removed and blame amazon as long as you can cite that was returned previously. Returns to you, are expensive, I wouldn't do that at all

[@JessItSellz]

Thank you so much for all of the content you put out. I really appreciate the tips and strategies. We've been selling Fba for a little less than a year and are figuring it out thanks to you and other resellers. One thing will ask is on the subject of selling toys, a few times we have received the child safety certificate request from Amazon. Not knowing how to get one we have just had the items removed and deleted the listing. Is there a better way to know if a certain toy will require this certificate, and how do you deal with this situation? Thanks again!

[@ReezyResells]

You can request it from the manufacturer. Lego for example supplies them on its website, but not all companies will make it easy for you as they're not required to provide them to consumers but all toys that are imported are required to have them, and if you're a retailer or distributor, they're required to supply them to you. So you can also get a legit wholesale account w a company that carries that product and place an order and get it that way, or you might get lucky w a FOIA request through the CPSC

Yes, it's kind of the standard. The only time I don't offer free shipping is for particularly large and heavy items. That way if the customer returns the item I don't have to refund the shipping fee which if it's built into the price, it automatically gets refunded when you refund a purchase.
