[@marlonrobles9891]

Hi Nicky goodmorning is it available here in Philippines can I do it here thanks just asking

[@marlonrobles9891]

Thank u watching ur KZbin channel

[@ashleyhoneycutt-hairstylist]

I just want to say thank you for actually making a video on how to do this stuff and NOT making a stupid course and trying to get people to pay a thousand bucks for it! Such a breath of fresh air in this space!

[@LifestriderX]

She did make a course tho

[@rhomoo4855]

​@@LifestriderX great, so we have a choice, the free video or we can pay for her going into more detail.

[@SSDD_NYC]

I'm a 30 year old guy who JUST learned about retail arbitrage a few hours ago from a customer at the Starbucks I work at. There is no KZbinr I've found who is this thorough, this precise, AND will link to other videos with more detailed instructions. Oh yeah, and... my girlfriend and I have three cats. Play fighting is all day every day here. At least yours play fight during the day. Mine do it at 2am when I have to be at work at 5am.

[@NikkiKirk]

Haha! Starbucks stuff sells for good money so you have a leg up there! :)

[@jaydoe3707]

I have never looked into selling on Amazon in anyway before but after watching this video I realized that I have to give it a try because I just found out that I'm going to be a first time father... I have less than 9 months to figure something out and look forward to checking out all the videos on here.

[@ParallelJora]

Good luck man! You’ll do great in life

[@leilanidiaz5847]

Congratulations!!!

[@kmessenger93]

Hows it going brobro

[@kaila9224]

Hey how it going?

[@jaydoe3707]

Well I never actually got started on the Amazon selling and whatnot but I did do some deliveries for Amazon. I found a lot of extra work from running a puppy and dog rescue to woodworking and furniture repair and refinishing. My son just turned 1 and is happy and healthy so life is good 😊

[@davestarr7112]

One somewhat essential tip for RA shopping at Walmart. Put the Walmart app on your phone, in the particular store you are in, and scan the item with that, before you scan with the Amazon app. reason? Every Walmart store has many items on secret or hidden clearance, and they will ring up for less than the Walmart tag price. This a "semi=profitable RA FBA buy might be really profitable for you if the actual cash register price at Walmart id many dollars less then the tag shows.

[@8016tm]

You are not only a successful trader but also an excellent communicator.

[@MyBestVersionOfMe]

Thanks for making all these great vids! Im just getting into this retail arbitrage and amazon fba. Ive seen SO many vids, but i really like yours and the way you explain everything. They are VERY helpful vids! Thanks again, gotta get back to watching and note taking! Lol

[@jusntrutreasures]

New to Amazon and I knew it would be hard, just not this hard, literally starting to wonder if I made the right call. You're one of the very few that is helpful.

[@jeannepaul3898]

I couldn’t agree more!! I was verified last night and was told that once I got my confirmation email, I would be able to login to my seller app and start scanning. Well that sure hasn’t happened. Now it’s telling me I have to wait a couple weeks for a postcard to verify my address. So here I sit and there is zero help from Amazon. I was so excited but it quickly turned to frustration. At no east this sweet girl goes through every step and makes sense of everything. Everyone else I watch is trying to get to private let or create your own product. I just want to do retail arbitrage and get a feel for it. Good luck to you!

[@jusntrutreasures]

@@jeannepaul3898 thabk you and good luck to you too! It sucks that the verification process for you was so grueling.

I loved your video, as usual. So much great info. You are awesome Here are some of the highlights: 12:14 kitty alert 16:18 full kitty alert, mad dash 17:58-18:13 2cnd kitty alert, kitty exchange 19:27-19:35 2cnd kitty re-emerges, does the catwalk 20:05-20:15 from cameo to catwalk, double kitty sighting 21:44 double kitty gallop 22:24-22:32-22:42 kitty crossing & launch, followed by sun bath 23:20-23:24 kitty wants to youtube, & talks back when dis-invited 13:25, 13:34, 15:40, 17:14-17:31, kitty cameos

Girl you just gained a new subscriber😁 this was by far one of the most helpful and easy Amazon videos I’ve seen in the past three days thanks 😊

[@ellataylor9173]

very helpful, I am doing Amazon FBA UK and sourcing from China, I think the key thing of doing FBA is to find professional suppliers and freight forwarder to handle your first leg for your Amazon FBA, like IRFREIGHT, highly recommended.

[@courtneyschwendemann4528]

Wow! Great tip to look out for items that are sold out or almost sold out in store.

[@KatEyze1015]

OMgoodness, my store just opened and I just found you!!! You are taking some of the fear away of what, and how to do this thing called Amazon! lol You definitely have a new follower!!!

[@mariamajawara531]

You so sweet explaining.. I can watch you all day

[@azuzenamaldonado30]

Can you make a video explaining how to create an account and the details?💖

[@KAlly-dp4yy]

I would love to see something like that

[@itzamia]

The difficult part is finding products that will make a profit. Needing a video on how to create an account might be a clear sign you shouldn't get into this.

[@PugBellaBoo]

Wow I watched 10 to 15 videos but this one had the most detail thank u so much I now have notifications on 👍

[@TheTravelledSoul]

Thank u…u r making me wanna start tomorrow

[@silverness320]

you can't do just any sku anymore. Amazon is cracking down on that. also, a heat gun will save you A LOT of time to remove labels and stickers. Because there is usually no mess to clean up and the whole sticker will come off in one piece

[@maalikrahimpromo2753]

Can you list the item without buying it. Especially if theirs alot of them, they rank etc. And wait til they sell?

[@deniseunknown4576]

Just found your channel. I’ll be binging all of them. Thank you for these & explaining it to those of us that are new to this.

[@NikkiKirk]

You’re welcome! And WELCOME!

[@StarlynsAgency]

omg this girl is so great I just found this channel and I wish I have a friend like her smart vibe

[@courtneyperrry2543]

Really tried to fix my credit on my own being that I only had a few thing to get off, it was an head ache. I was starting to give up on the whole process until one of my friends I work with had told me about a credit repair group called Credit patchup , LLC. so I figured I'd contact them being I had to get this stuff removed, my husband and I had no chance. these guys not only settled my judgments but they also got all collections & inquiries removed, This team are simply the best, I now own a home and a car! Thanks a lot [[e-mail]]

[@dionosys6]

thanks for the video. Been selling FBM for almost 6 months. Sourcing for my first ever FBA shipment and I found this very informative. Keep up the great work!

[@susanbryg]

Walmart will give you a sales tax exemption card and you don't have to pay sales tax. They will do the same for their online store but it is a different form to fill out. Ditto for Dollar tree.

[@kaitlynnycole9128]

How do you go about getting this?

[@nicoler.2074]

This is all so fascinating/new to me...I can't believe I'm just learning about this! I've been a full-time rv'er for three years now always struggling with ways to make money on the road. This seems perfect! I love to shop and hit the clearance aisles when I'm on the road. I've found awesome deals and often thought how I could make money on them if I knew how/where to resell them. Thank you for all the information! I will likely be joining your Bohol group once I go through the selling family training. 😀

[@daleymatias5281]

Hey Nikki, what’s the first thing we should do to get started? I know there’s classes available but budget is tight right now. Anything on your website you recommend or the first video to watch ? Thank you

Hi I’m just getting started great content!!

[@jazminenguyen8040]

You should make a video about oversized items being shipped

[@_TheGoob]

12:44 with that in mind, I guess this really is risk free besides the risk of wasting your time.

[@mannsmercantile2558]

First time viewer. Very informative. I definitely subscribed and hit the bell for all. Thank you.

[@NikkiKirk]

Thank you!

[@Bobby3038]

You should look into getting a Rollo printer. It uses heat to print and it will print all kinds of labels.

[@LLAsh04]

Why do you wait to send items in? Wouldn’t the profitability potentially change while you’re waiting to source other items to send in? And you can’t sell it until it reaches the warehouse right? Also, how do you calculate shippings costs. I’m having the worst time factoring that when sourcing. Do I add shipping to every item?

[@elicob6227]

Awesome video Nikki super helpful! Not sure if you made one yet, but can you do a video on “How to fix stranded items?” thanks so much in Advance! Have a great day 😊

So you want the rank to be low? Why? What do you mean by get ungated? What does it mean when your gated? How do I get ungated from certain categories? How much is your BOLO group? Do you take the picture to scan it on the barcode or the front of the box? What is your number for how much money you make before tax?

Hey do you remember what invoice you used to get un gated through Yankee candle ?

[@MrsHolla]

Have you always used rev seller or did you use inventory lab as well in the beginning? Which have you found the most useful if you have used both?

[@sm-gp7ld]

Can you find clearance product on Walmart’s website? The reason i’m asking it is because wouldn’t it save me time if I can find product online and research the product at home on all the softwares you use; and then head to the store? Another question I have is; do you ever talk to an associate or a manager to find out what could be hot in the toy section?

[@sunaacar2463]

The idea that you buy in store has to exact match the item on Amazon ? Like color size etc ? And also will it for UPC number?

[@janetteb.6636]

Do you calculate your shipping costs from shipping all these items from your final profit?

[@laviolist]

Yes, you must calculate the cost to ship items to Amazon when calculating your profit, and that cost is super discounted. It will be calculated in Seller Central.

[@DaRealLilOprah]

Hello thank you for your video. Is there a Rank List by Category available? How long does it take for the Sellers Account to be Approved? Thanks for any insight

[@gee3883]

Dumb question , why dont you post the items with fbm instead of posting to amazon and then relying on amazon to post is it not faster to post yourself ? thanks Loving the channel

[@NikkiKirk]

I prefer to do FBA because of space and convienance. I have over $100k of items at their warehouse and I could never ship all that myself or warehouse it myself. With FBA Amazon does it all for me. I just box it up and sent it all out to them

Should I created my seller account using the same email or should I create a new email for that only? Also, if I should create a new email, should I create an account with all these extensions using what email?
