New OA seller here doing reverse storefront sourcing (what everyone says is best method ).

It seems like it’s taking me a ridiculous amount of time to find anything worthwhile. I’m scanning for hours, eliminating most listings due to unstable Buy Box history, low sales, or th biggest being just WEAK ROI, and barely finding ASINs that meet my criteria..

For those experienced with OA is this just normal in the beginning while building pattern recognition, ORR does it sound like my sourcing approach is inefficient?

Trying to figure out if this is just reps or if I need to adjust my process.

Hello,

My request to create a new Amazon seller account was denied and after chatting with an associate they told me to try again with a new email address and phone number.

I will be using my husbands phone number and I created a new email account. I don’t want to be denied again. I opened a llc for this purpose and it wasn’t cheap.

Please help.

Hey everyone,

Looking for outside opinions before I consider this product. I’m a new OA seller fyi… I found a beauty ASIN that’s about 45 days old. Estimated 200 sales/month. Only seller so far has been the brand. Price has been stable the entire time.

Do know that:

-I’m ungated

-purchased directly from the brand online (meaning proper invoice)

-FBA

-brand has buy box.

Looks like a new launch with ads pushing the velocity….

I’m also curious:

-Is this likely just a controlled rollout where they’ll suppress price once another seller appears?

-Has anyone successfully jumped onto a brand-only new launch like this without price wars?

-If you were testing this, how many units would you risk?

-Any obvious red flags I might be missing?

Appreciate any feedback!!

Hi everyone, my 3rd party warehouse is trying to get me to go Seller Fulfilled Prime, but I don’t really understand the benefit. We sell fairly cheap items £15-25 so don’t have a lot of room for fees.

As I understand it, Amazon charges the referreal fee (15% of selling price) no matter how it’s sent, but the price Amazon picks, packs and ships for (FBA fee) it’s hugely cheaper than my warehouse offers. Not even close.

Is this normal? I can’t think why the warehouse would even suggest such a tragic move.
