Does anyone know what is relationship between Amazon Bulk operations SP SEARCH TERMS sheet and RAS SEARCH TERMS Sheet, they have some overlapping data, I believe Amazon just recently split SP search terms into two, but do not understand why data are duplicates.

Hi everyone,

I recently joined a long-standing retail company in Mexico that’s been around for over 50 years and has grown to over 50 physical stores nationwide. Around six years ago, the company successfully expanded into major Mexican online marketplaces (like Mercado Libre) and now we’re preparing to enter Amazon USA. I’ve been appointed to oversee our Amazon USA operations, and while I’m experienced with marketplaces in Mexico, I’m still learning the ins and outs of Amazon through Seller University and would love help with preparation.

Here’s the current situation:

• We have a U.S. LLC already established.
• We’re working with an Amazon KAM.
• Our U.S. Amazon store hasn’t launched yet, but it’s in the works.
• Three of our brands are currently going through USPTO trademark registration.

I’m looking for advice from more experienced sellers on:

1. What foundational steps should I take before launching?
2. What should be ready in terms of operations, logistics, and catalog setup before going live?
3. What do I need to know about Brand Registry with trademarks still pending?
4. Any tips or common mistakes to avoid when transitioning from other marketplaces into Amazon USA?
5. What are some useful tools or workflows you recommend early on?

Any insights would be hugely appreciated. I’m excited to be part of this community and to learn from those who’ve already walked this path.

Thanks to all!

Hello, Id like to test the market for some products I brought back from Japan and Korea to see if there is demand.

Do i need a business license to sell them, or can I proceed without one?

I understand that there isn’t going to be any guarantees when selling on Amazon, but the variation in sales seems to have no pattern at all.

Logically, I would have thought that sales would increase around when people get paid at the end of the month and then decrease slowly throughout the month and there would be specific days and times of days. I would be more likely to make sales but this hasn’t been the case at all.

Some days I can make 40 and then the next day 200 in sales, I also have quite a lot of occurrences where I won’t sell a particular item for weeks and then two people will buy it within 5 minutes of each other.

I don’t use any advertising so all sales come organically but the whole thing just confuses me. Is this a regular thing but other sellers?

This is a side hustle for me. And I am an FBM merchant. I have 12 months of sales data.

I used to sell a product FBM from UK to France that was doing okay. I decided to set it up for FBA and sent some stock in.

All booked in and ready to order in UK. Now on the France selling central it shows as 0 in stock.

What do I need to set up to make UK stock available to France?
