What To Buy At Kohls To Resell On Amazon FBA

[@jhoss24]

Been waiting for another upload! Binge watched ur previous Amazon Resell videos and saw they were uploaded months ago. Was afraid you were done. But low and behold, you are back! Yay. Thank you.

[@UnstoppableJosh]

Awesome! I’m still out here doing retail arbitrage. Hopefully I can make more videos

Thank you Josh. You are one of my favorite youtubers so please continue posting. We miss u when u r away!

Thank you!! I’m hoping to put out another video this week

[@johanatachon8553]

Thanks so much for sharing! I was able to understand how to analyze products using the tools, through your demonstrations. 👍🏼

[@reezypieces9612]

The neatest cart I’ve ever seen 😊

[@joanwyatt9945]

Didn't know about the scanner on the app. That's very helpful. Because sometimes I pass over items that don't have the sticker even though they are on the clearance rack. You have a great speaking voice! You should do voice overs.

[@UnstoppableJosh]

Thank you! I’m in the wrong profession 😂

[@dnaylor20]

Hey Josh, I stumbled upon your video. Looks like I need to head over to Kohls! I sell a lot of Wallflower/Lee/Wrangler as well! I get my stuff from Kohl’s via liquidation stores- cherry-picking. Thanks for the video! I’m going to catch up on your other videos. Just subscribed. (I do FBM)

[@UnstoppableJosh]

Awesome! I’m just out there getting wherever I can too

[@samanthav8728]

I feel like I stumbled or slipped accidentally to this video. I am so into reselling lately. Doing pretty good on eBay but Amazon sales scared the bejeezus outta me. Thank you for this info-took a lot of the fear out of me. Financial Question: To get a good start on this should there be a small business loan to build up your inventory? I hope you or one of the regular viewers sees this. I'll be binge watching your channel vids, lol.

[@UnstoppableJosh]

Personally I wouldn’t take out any loans. I would just bust my ass doing something like DoorDash at night or weekends to save up a few thousand dollars

[@Amazing01311]

Great video!! Thanks for sharing 🔥

[@mauriceharp1454]

I was in my local Kohls store yesterday and saw the same Timberland boots and checked them on eBay (I don't sell on Amazon yet - I'm a newbie) but also had a hard time making a good connection. Seems I frequently get different results between the eBay app and my computer. Watched your video this AM and rushed back to Kohls only to find out that HQ management had ended the 50% off clearance sale last night without notice to store employees. Signs in the store yesterday said the sale was good until Aug. 18th. Bummer! Perhaps Kohl's management watched your video and will ship their boots to Amazon, lol. Interesting how folks will pay so much more to Amazon than they would pay on eBay. Thanks for the great video.

[@UnstoppableJosh]

Yes. It looks like they pulled the plug on the sale last night without warning despite the signs saying it was good all week. I’ve NEVER seen them do this before, all the more reason to check the app everyday. I sell on eBay too. The search on eBay is pretty messed up because they shove a lot of other semi related items into the search desperately trying to get anybody to buy anything instead of showing you what you were actually searching for, they started doing that about 6-12 months ago. Also there are weird discrepancies between mobile and computer for no good reason

[@virginiacannon2023]

I went through your videos on your channel because I have several questions: 1) Do you need a EIN (tax number) for retail arbitrage? 2) What is the process for selling on Amazon? Do you have a storefront? Are you doing FBA? 3) How do you package? ***Would you please create a newbie video or video series? Amazon says that a EIN number is required to sell through them unless you’re an individual, so that is confusing. I have been considering reselling, but I am a little lost.

[@UnstoppableJosh]

You don’t need a EIN tax number to sell on amazon. You can be a sole proprietor and use your social security number, which is what I do. I use the fba program where I ship everything to the amazon wear house and they take care of everything from shipping, customer service and returns. When shipping products to amazon most items especially clothes go in a a clear plastic bag with a barcode on them, it’s not terribly complicated, anyone can do it

[@stressfreepaperchase3215]

Welcome back. I guess we get one video a year😊

[@AnimalJeff-lh7fh]

So I decided to give this a try. I set up a sellers account but every item I scanned it said I need approval. That includes Lee Jeans and Wallflower Jeans. How do I get started? Do I have to submit an invoice for every new brand?

[@iseered4871]

@unstoppablejosh yeah i also started but i cant sell anything without an invoice from the company. Is this normal?

[@HighlandCommerce]

Great video. In your experience, how long does it usually take for prices to rebound after they tank?

[@UnstoppableJosh]

It depends on the item but it’s not uncommon for it to take a couple of months

[@FirstCoffee9646]

Do you have a high return rate selling clothes and shoes? Also do you often check variations on keepa?

[@rc_retro]

Came to say same thing. Terrified of kids/women's clothing.

[@UnstoppableJosh]

Return rate for kohls clothes is about 15% which is normal and unavoidable. My lifetime ROI at Kohls is 139% . Been reselling kohls stuff on amazon for over 5 years. I do check variation sales but didn’t bother this video because of years of experience and I’ve sold all those exact same items before

[@FirstCoffee9646]

Makes sense! Thanks for the video and reply

[@maryadams1854]

Great info!

[@robertweisberg5570]

FYI Reef dont know if you sold those before but they often file IP complaints and are aggressive. Same with Columbia last I heard. I know they try to take down any 3P seller. I just came across your video. We dont source this way but have come across these brands in our wholesale buying on occasion.

[@UnstoppableJosh]

Never had an issue with those brands. I’ve sold thousands of Columbia items and probably about 100 reef sandals over the years

[@robertweisberg5570]

@@UnstoppableJosh I just checked a software tool I use which is not 100% but it shows no issues on those brands. I wonder if somehting changed there. Didnt want to question you. It was an interesting video. I am tempted merely to check my Kohls a mille form my office to see if any of those things are there.

[@NN-pe6ip]

Do you send these items in FBA? Do you have a video on how to do clothing FBA? Thanks!

[@UnstoppableJosh]

I send almost everything into FBA. I do not have a video on sending clothes into Amazon.

[@jonathancortez8638]

Great video!

[@AnimalJeff-lh7fh]

Great video. I just subscribed! When sending these items into fba do you send them in all together or separate by item?

[@JettsPetts]

I was wondering the same thing. I hope he answers this question.

[@UnstoppableJosh]

When you send items in Amazon will create a shipment plan for you based on what part of the country they need those products the most. Typically if I’m sending a shipment of approximately 100 items Amazon will usually break that up into 2 or 3 different shipments so I’ll have about 3 boxes total to ship out

[@GarageSaleMonster]

I've been selling on az for 11 years. But I've always hated clothes. Return rate is sky high and kills profit margins. So what do you do with your numbers to justify or deal with selling clothes?

[@UnstoppableJosh]

My return rate on kohls clothes hovers around 15%. My lifetime ROI at Kohls is 139%. Last year I made over 20K just off of kohls clothes and shoes, so I don’t worry about.

[@sr1625]

What app are you using to research Amazon history/prices?

[@UnstoppableJosh]

In this video I’m using the Amazon seller app and an app called keepa

[@DragonsDenBooks]

What is your process for stickers? do you remove all of them prior to shipping into amazon? what about bagging, sealing, etc? I only have experience shipping books into Amazon for FBA.

[@UnstoppableJosh]

You have to remove all the kohls tags from the clothes and shoes usually with a hair dryer. Everything needs to be in a plastic polybag with a suffocation warning on it before it gets shipped to Amazon

[@couponchicka]

Do you just go off of rank and not look at the variation tab?

[@UnstoppableJosh]

I do use the variation tab. I have a ton of experience selling shoes and clothes from kohls that I didn’t need to check it. The variation tab can be misleading as well if an item is never or rarely in stock

[@couponchicka]

@@UnstoppableJosh thx for the reply.

[@xifrankie]

If you can’t sell an item, like the Levi example in the video, does the Amazon app let you know after scanning?

[@UnstoppableJosh]

Yes. The amazon seller app will tell you if you are allowed to sell a particular item or brand. In the case of Levi’s a big red box pops up saying “restricted” , you can’t miss it

[@ahmedissa3704]

Great video! I have a question regarding taxes. Do you have a reseller certificate that exempt you from taxes? I know every state is different but just curious how that works in your area.

[@UnstoppableJosh]

Yes I have a tax exempt certificate. A lot of stores like Walmart, Ollie’s, Nike will accept them

[@jojidavenport]

Awesome video Josh. There is so much opportunity to sell on Amazon it's crazy! :)

[@lorenzogomez2259]

Hey bro the extra 50% is gone right now right i dont see it advertised in the app

[@brentfrey6960]

[@UnstoppableJosh]

Every couple of months kohls runs a sale where all the clearance is half off. I check the kohls app almost daily to see if it going on

[@achta8433]

@@UnstoppableJosh ok thanks

[@btccoins5514]

why not use seller amp for Amazon? In seller amp, it got everything, BSR, keepa, etc... in ONE app. The problem with using Amazon app is that it does not give full picture instead it gives you snapshot. Just b/c it has low BSR now, it doesn't mean it had low BSR in the past

[@UnstoppableJosh]

I use an app called Profitl. It’s better than seller amp and cheaper. When I make videos I like to use the Amazon seller app because I know for sure every seller has it and understands what’s on the screen. Most people watching are new or considering starting

[@btccoins5514]

@@UnstoppableJosh I just look at Profitl app and the format looks disaster, so much clutter and difficult to read. When I use Seller Amp, it takes me less than 10 second to determine if the item is good or not and I don't think I could do that with Profitl. Seller Amp cost $20 per month but if you do annual thing, it is $16.63 per month. I used scoutify, amazon apps before and if I want to use keepa, I had to open keepa app, I had to go back and forth with Amazon and Keepa. Seller Amp includes keepa and all you got to do is scroll down. Keepa is included in seller amp, so you save money there.

[@MarkJamesGolf]

LOL seller amp is a scam, why pay for it when amazon app is free, 50% of items I scanned w scammer amp didnt even show up for me. Amz an keepa way better

[@btccoins5514]

@@MarkJamesGolf The problem with Amazon app is that it only gives you snapshot of BSR, that is the problem. For example, if the item was slow moving item and it recently sold, BSR will drop down. When you use Amazon app and see low BSR, you think it is good buy bur in reality it is not, this is where you will get burn. I have done this many times. If you look at ANY successful Amazon seller, they don't use Amazon app for research purpose. If you can't afford $20 monthly fee, then don't bother doing Amazon b/c you will fail. I have failed Amazon in 2017 and started back up this year, seller amp has been game changer for me

[@UnstoppableJosh]

You can sign up to sell on Amazon for free. As long as you are 18, have a credit card, a US bank account and a valid ID you should be able to get approved. You do need some start up money to buy items like I showed in this video, $1000 is a reasonable amount of money to start with but could be more or less
