Any "Fulfilled by Amazon" sellers here?

Don’t know what you are selling, but unless it’s revolutionary or you are buying it much much much better than everybody else I wouldn’t spend too much effort on a website just yet. It’s very hard and any marketplace fees you save will soon evaporate into website dev, maintenance and ad spend...

You’d get much better results in setting up an eBay shop and spending some time fixing it all up into a 3rd party tool like linnworks or something. Focusing on this will enable some automation and allow you to get your product data and processes inline - enabling extra channels to be added easily in the future.

FBA and SFP can be very good if used correctly. We only use FBA for small and fast moving lines to prevent storage fees eroding margins - plus we don’t want Amazon to have our listings, money AND all our stock!

Good luck, it’s not easy and it never stops.

This thread appears depressing, have things improved for FBA sellers since?

It depends on the ability and nounce of the seller. Plenty making strong profit, plenty making s loss.

New type of FBA coming soon

Plenty making loss sounds depressing.

I’m not on the trial but 2 clients are. It needs thinking about but Amazon will do you a report on what should be FBA and what’s best SFP - then one SKU
