How can I compete? Advice needed
I have been selling on Amazon now for about 8ish months. My products are dog treats and I own the brand. My products for the first 6 months were doing amazing, but then I got undercut 2 for 1 by bigger brands. Now I’ve been struggling to keep up. I’ve found a new supplier so now I can get my price to match the bigger competitors, but the issue of shipping cost still remains. I am FBM, if I switch to FBA do you think I can compete?
Here is a breakdown,
It costs me $8.5 to get the product and package it. I sell it for 16.99
Amazon takes their cut and shipping is charged to the customer typically between $4.50-$5.30
After shipping the customer pays much more for my product vs the competitors who offer free shipping.
This leaves me with a low profit margin.. if I switch to FBA could I do better? How should I price the product? PLEASE give me some advice. Thank you

For y’all that FBM, how do you handle your replacement shippings and refunds?
We use Amazon Shipper…When we have to send a replacement for a lost or damaged order, we reprint the shipping label and send it, which does not provide tracking capability.
For y’all that FBM, how do you handle your replacement shipments and refunds?
Also, how do you use Amazon warranty service to get refunded?
Thanks!!!!

What makes Amazon particularly attractive for new sellers is its robust infrastructure and built-in trust. When customers shop on Amazon, they shop with confidence, knowing they’re protected by Amazon’s customer-friendly policies and reliable delivery systems. This trust translates directly into higher conversion rates for sellers compared to standalone e-commerce websites.
Read this blog post on “Why Sell on Amazon” for tips on leveraging Amazon’s infrastructure.
As a seller, if you subscribe to fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), Amazon takes the hassle of storage, shipping, and customer service off your hands, leaving you in charge of marketing and selection of your product. This means you can focus on growing your business without getting bogged down by operational logistics. Amazon provides all the tools you need from managing inventory, optimizing listings, and growing your business.
Check out this podcast on Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)’s Selection Programme and how it can benefit your business.
The platform’s sophisticated algorithm and search features also make it easier for customers to find your products. With tools like Amazon’s A9 search algorithm, your products can gain visibility based on performance metrics rather than just advertising spend. This levels the playing field for new sellers who might not have large marketing budgets.

Also, Amazon’s mobile app presence means your products are accessible to customers 24/7, with over 150 million mobile users accessing the platform monthly. This mobile-first approach, combined with Amazon’s continuous investment in technology and customer experience, ensures that sellers can reach customers wherever they are, whenever they’re ready to buy.

Sort by Most Recent is Gone
Anybody else notice that you can’t sort by recent on a listing anymore? Wonder if this is a temporary glitch, or a new standard. It makes the featured ones very important, as opposed to being able to see what the latest are saying.
