Any tips as somone who wanna begain to sell I know what I am going to sell just need how and what to do to make it be really selling

Assuming you do everything right and have a little bit of luck on your side, is it still a viable path for the American dream?

Hello Community,

i recently listed my products on amazon, I'm just wondering if anyone can tell us how he started selling on amazon, what kind of strategy he used so we as new seller can learn from it

Amazon's application process just requests an invoice to prove my products are official. I buy directly from the manufacturer on these items I'm applying for. I'm part of the manufacturer's wholesale team. In some cases I even have my own agent that I work with in case of any issues. I've mentioned this in the comments section of my application. Amazon isn't giving me actual reasons for denial. All they say is "We evaluated the information you provided, but it did not pass our inspection". Crazy that an actual wholesale invoice directly from the company isn't a qualifying invoice for them. Am I supposed to speak with my wholesale agent and request a custom invoice typed up specifically for Amazon? Like I said, only some of my brands I work with have me speaking with an agent. Others I'm less involved with and just get discounted pricing so I seriously doubt they'd type up a custom document for me.

Watched a video that said you had to use a credit card

Amazon charged me "FBA international shipping" of over $1000 as additional charges to a shipment that should of cost $750. The $750 charge is on the statement, but so is this additional charge. Been around the block with support and essentially the answer is suck it up with no justification or breakdown, I am suspicious that the partnered carrier BSI E-COMMERCE AIR & SEA LOGISTICS LTD (never use these people as they actually ripped open 50% of my stock) has just put in a fat invoice and helped themselves. BTW there are no tariff duties due on my product. Anybody else seen this?

Can someone please tell me what are ABNT and EXLA carriers used in removal orders of US marketplace and how I can track them?

I'm a little lost now if I should continue to do sponsored ads in Amazon.

Margins are getting smaller with the ads, even though the ads do convert sales.

However, I don't know if the ads actually converted the sales, or just my organic search term is doing the job.

I don't really want to pause my ads to test.

I heard it's going to reset the ad, so I don't really want to risk it.

Really need some help here...

Let's say I sell in Home Decor - Blanket Category, and my item is a Knitted Blanket.

If I search Blanket, I won't be found from the first few pages.

But if I search Knitted Blanket (the specific type of blanket), I will always be on the first or second placment after the sponsored ads listing

I'm not looking to get into first page of the "Blanket" search term anytime soon, since I'm a new seller.

My dilemma is that, for the specific group of people that's searching for this type of blanket, I will always be found.

Is it even worth it for me to run the ads to attract people looking for "Blanket" search term?

Hi everyone,

I apologize if this has already been answered in this thread. I am making my first product shipment to Amazon. After lots of other errors I have finally got my shipment ready to go.

If I send my shipment using the small parcel delivery it is very expensive, but I am hoping someone may be able to help me with a LTL shipment.

1. I believe Amazon Canada does not have any partnered LTL so I am wondering if anyone has a trusted LTL company who is familiar with Amazon that they use?

2.Moreover, currently it says that the warehouse to ship it to is in Calgary, and we are in Toronto. I am wondering if it would be possible to pick a centre that is much closer to us to reduce the cost.

Thank you for all the help!

I have orders that need shipped on Monday but my area is under a declared snow disaster until at least Tuesday. Should I just refund orders?

Is there a way to identify (track) if your Google Ads are being converted on Amazon? I have my products on Amazon. I have ads on Amazon that I can track performance. And I have seen sales (organic) for an specific segment (Hispanics) that I have a campaign with Google. So my question is: are I am driving sales thanks to my Google ads or not? Can u set up a tracking and how?

I have 4 stores on different countries and I wanted to close/delete the other 3. I have not sold anything from those 3 stores. Is there a way to do that? I keep on checking seller central but it doesn’t give me any information. Also, does having stores in different countries add up to the monthly subscription fee? Thanks for any help.

Hello,

I'm a full-time college student interested in starting a business on Amazon. My plan is to purchase products from sites like AliExpress and Alibaba, then resell them on Amazon.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Is this a viable strategy for someone in my situation?
2. Does Amazon allow this type of reselling?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

As a beginner who will start selling on Amazon is there a big difference between the individual 1$ and professional 40$ subscription like would I as a seller feel a big difference or is it alright to begain on the 1$ until I see where I go ?

Hi Amazon Sellers,

I get an Intellectual Property Claim on my Amazon.ca seller account with a Counter without a test buy mark for 2 ASINS i listed.

I haven't sold these items before. Just listed the items. I don't have any invoices because i didn't buy the products yet.

I tried many ways to appeal but none of them are accepted.

What would be your suggestions or anyone had success with the same situation can help me?

Thank you
Regards

Like can't I sell in Amazon without paying this 40$ or is it like a subscription with benifts but u dont have to do it and do anyone know another good websites to sell and I am from egypt btw

I submitted my spreadsheet and it said all 100 products were without errors. But nothing is showing in my products “all inventory”

I left the identifier columns blank because I have no UPC on my own branded products. Did I do something wrong or does it just take a few hours?

I have been trying to integrate my Amazon and Printful shops for days now. I cannot find the application pages because my add products page looks different than the ones in the videos (both Printful and Amazon ones). Can anyone help me?? Or point me in a direction to get some help?

Mt product page does not have an option to “sell items not listed by amazon” nor does it have a “check GTIN status” option. I went through and manually put in one product listing and it said my GTIN was approved but when I attempted to add a product from the Printful pages, it said I did not have one. So I just don’t know what to do.

I have dozens of refund request over 60 days old who never returned the item. Does Amazon refund them anyway?

Curious what others are seeing - the previous Prime day was a bust for us, so this time we discounted earlier to drum up sales throughout the period. Seems to be working OK. So far Black Friday sales have started really slow vs last year. How is it going for you?

I always find it hilarious when a customer asks for a refund because item was not delivered but when you track the package it’s not only delivered but there is a picture of it at the door haha

So i purchased the inventory from a wholesalers and was charged vat, as normal. (At this point i wasnt vat registered, but now am) can i claim back the vat charged over the past few months from the wholesalers? (over £10000, so about £2000 vat)

From what i understand you cant claim back on sold goods, so should i do an inventory ledger in amazon and calculate the vat charged on my current inventory or?

Advice appreciated.

What does "missing offer" mean?

I use inventory loader spreadsheet and set quantity to "1" for FBM. I upload then and listings say "missing offer" and shows "0" for availability. However, when I click "missing offer" to edit the listing it shows "1" for quantity.

Why is availability 0 yet the quantity is 1? This makes no sense.

Hi. We are a non-VAT UK registered Limited company. Amazon USA is charging us VAT on its services. Looking at HMRC forums in suggests as UK business we should not be charged for digital services. Anybody else seen this?

Does anyone have any recommendations for China based lawyers or firms?

I was not too happy with the few I've worked with.

I mainly want a responsive and affordable option for both investigating, threatening and actually suing IP violators within China.

I've never filed suit in China before but I have applied for IP, contested someone trying to register my Trademark and threatened offenders with the help of lawyers there.

I’ve been an FBM seller for a while now with a few issues here and there but nothing major. Sent my first FBA shipment to Brampton and master box was received. However, the 8 units in the box are still not received. Is it normal to take over 2 business days to receive the units? How long should it take?

I am trying to sell a liquid product. I manufacture it myself, my numbers are amazing. Now Amazon is saying that I need a prescription to sell it when I clearly dont. I see other sellers that have been selling it and have 10,000+ sales per month. What can/should I do?

How do I find which I hated items on Amazon are unrestricted

Hi guys,

I am about to launch my own private label business selling supplements and vitamins on Amazon using FBA.

Any tips and is it even worth it ?, I see so much competition and don’t just want to end up wasting my savings on something which has no potential.

Although I can say my products are good and I can compete on price.
