Q: How can I move inventory from one ASIN to another ASIN without having them returned on FBA listings? A: Before I Teach you guys the method you must keep 2 things in mind: 1) This Method isn't guaranteed! As we all know how seller support is operating, Since this processes involves them its only about %95 accurate but its still a YMMV! 2) This is kind of grey whether its in violation of Amazon's policy so i do not take responsibility if you get hit! Its a 4 step process make sure to follow them properly! Follow this link Q: If I have 3 items to send into FBA and they are splitting me to 3 different locations. Can I ship all 3 items to one location? A: Yes, you can choose "Inventory Placement Service" in FBA settings to send all your inventory to one nearby warehouse. Amazon charges an additional fee ($.30, CMIIW) per item. Note: That even once your inventory reaches Amazon, if Amazon is moving it to a different warehouse, the item will be "back-ordered" Q: I'm having a hard time finding a box for a large product, can I just ship with the box the way it came from the store? A: There might not be a clear cut answer for every scenario. But, some have sold many large printers through FBA, by just putting the shipping label directly on the box and not having an issue. Q: What is considered case pack when sending in items to Amazon FBA? A: Case pack is when all the items in the box are from the same ASIN. Q: I'm doing FBA shipping for the first time. and it says "prep required". What does that mean? A: Prep Required means there is some preparation for the products that will need to be done before it could be added the the Amazon inventory. Typically, it is either labeling the items, taping the boxes shut, or poly bagging. If you do not prepare the items yourself, Amazon can/will do it for a charge. | Q: What is the buy box? How do I win the buy box? A: The Buy Box is the box on a product detail page where customers can begin the purchasing process by adding items to their shopping carts. To give customers the best possible shopping experience, Sellers must meet performance-based requirements to be eligible to compete for Buy Box placement. All Buy Box eligible offers are then further evaluated to determine the Buy Box winning offer. One "New" and one "Used" condition offer, as applicable, will receive Buy Box placement. Q: What is an A-Z claim? A: When you buy from third-party sellers on Amazon.com, the condition of the item and its timely delivery are guaranteed under the A-to-z Guarantee. Therefore, a buyer may open a claim if the above is not met to his expectations. Q: I have an item that is handmade how do I go about selling it on? A: Create your own listing and buy a UPC code. Q: Any advice on packaging and shipping? Check the Shipping Master Thread Q: Why are some items on Amazon missing the Amazon sales rank number? A: Go to add a product > sell yours it should be in the top right corner. If it's not there usually it means no one bought yet. Q: How do you compare Ebay/paypal fees to Amazon fees? A: Depends on the category. For a lot of categories,Please Update Categories it may be cheaper, as with Amazon there is just one fee, but for eBay sales there also is a Paypal fee. Does the Amazon sales rank mean a lot when researching a product to sell? A: Yes |

Selling on Amazon Master Thread
efyrcks:
Does anyone here have any experience selling on amazon as a side profit?
I was wondering if it is worthwhile getting a wholesalers license in order to get wholesale prices and then reselling on amazon? or is there just too much competition that the profit margin is not worth it?
Also maybe you know of other places to get things to sell that you don't mind telling?
I am in yeshiva and need to make some money on the side and I thought this might be a good idea.
Thanks
P.S. I am open to any suggestions of sources of income that wouldn't compromise my yeshiva/college schedule.

Just a small suggestion -
I have sold a lot of items on amazon.... There is tonz of competition and there could be little profit
I mostly sold hot items, cuz the turn over time is much quicker.
There are dropship companies that you could sign up with and if the item sells you dropship it (DOBA.COM) - I never did this cuz the profit line is really slim... only worth it if you spend a lot of time listing a lot of items.
If this is something you are serious about doing - Deff go into it. I have made a lot of money selling things on amazon. Now I just sell on ebay.

Not the only reason... The fees are less for me cuz I have a ebay store and am a power seller so that give me discount
But I like ebay more cuz there is more exposure, and I ship internationally... Also items sell quicker on ebay
