Small single-product FBM seller here since July ’24. I always charged for shipping. My sales were always decent ($2500-$3000/mo). Well I decided to switch to free shipping and increase the item cost to the average shipping rate I was paying for the previous 6 months plus $1.

Well my sales went up, a LOT. I’m only 3 days in this month and I’m already at 30% of my average monthly revenue. I ran out of stock (I make my own product).

I don’t do PPC or social media. So does Amazon show your listing to more customers when you do free shipping, do customers just prefer to not pay shipping as a separate line item, or is this just a fluke?

Edit: my items are for business customers, typically solopreneurs.

I have a new, one of a kind dog product, and I have yet to break even with Amazon Ads. I think one of the problems is potential customers don’t realize that this product actually works, and with limited feedback, that might not be enough. Here’s the Amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D89GRC57

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Anyone here transitioned a high-performing ASIN from 3P/FBA to 1P/Vendor Central? Curious what kind of volume changes you saw post-switch.

We recently moved an ASIN for a FBA Seller to our VC account doing ~500 units/month via FBA to 1P in early May. Just received the first PO this week—685 units, ~$20K. Based on our experience and vendor cadence, we expect weekly POs going forward at around 50% of the ASIN’s historical monthly sell-through.

For those who’ve made the jump:

• How did your PO frequency and volume evolve?
• Did Amazon eventually order closer to full sell-through rates?
• Any operational adjustments you had to make?

Trying to get a broader sense of how others have seen 1P scale over time.

I’ve been trying to get ONE product listed on Amazon for 5 months now. It’s a plush backpack under my own brand. Fully tested, certified, and cleared in the US and Europe.
All documents are submitted, including the CPC and lab reports (costing thousands). Still, Amazon rejects the listing.

Why?

Because they keep asking me to update the CPSIA attribute.

Here’s the joke:
The “CPSIA warning” field doesn’t even exist when editing the listing.
It’s not shown in the UI, and uploading a flat file doesn’t help either — Amazon just keeps replying with the same automated message asking for a CPSIA warning attribute that I cannot physically set.

And it’s even more frustrating because:

• My product doesn’t have small parts.
• It’s not for kids under 3.
• There is no choking hazard.
• The product is set for Teens (13+).
• The correct value should be “No warning applicable”, but THERE’S NO WAY TO SET IT!

Meanwhile, I see cheap, unbranded, obviously non-compliant Chinese products listed and selling without issues — no documentation, no problems. But my tested, compliant, legitimate product? Blocked for months.

Amazon, what are we supposed to do?

Amazon, what are we supposed to do?

I recently noticed Amazon is now offering a promotion option under Brand Analytics that seems to target customers who, for example, added your product to their cart but didn’t complete the purchase (like abandoned carts).

Has anyone tried this yet? I’m curious how effective it is — does it actually help recover sales or increase conversions? Any insights on setup, performance, or cost would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!
