Hi. I recently started selling our products on Amazon after a very long-winded journey of Brand Registry and ASIN registration. We’ve sold a few units both with sponsored product ads and organically. The ads were performing daily well for a couple of weeks and it was starting to look like paid ads could be done daily cost effectively, now all of a sudden it’s become a cash furnace with no sales! Why? Also, organic sales seem to be very hard to get too. Does anyone have any good tips to get the ball rolling properly without it costing and arm and a leg?

Hi everyone,

Looking for some experienced input on a pricing situation with one of my Amazon FBA listings.

I won’t mention the product name, but it’s in Kitchen & Dining. I’ve been selling this ASIN for about 1 year now.

Important background:

• For almost the entire year, the highest price I’ve ever sold at was $16.95
• My competitors are generally priced between $16 to $25
• I had my price set at $15.95 up until Jan 5

Timeline:

From Dec 30 to Jan 2, sales were almost dead, despite ads running and getting clicks. Before that, I was doing around 1 to 2 units per day. During those quiet days, ads were active but conversion just wasn’t happening.

On Jan 6, my lower price ended automatically and the listing reverted to $22.95. On the same day, my ad budget $5

Results on Jan 6:

• 47 clicks
• 5 ad orders
• 3 organic orders
• 8 total orders
• CPC around $0.30
• Total sales around $155
• 1 of those was a Business order at $17.95

What’s confusing me:
Conventional advice is to increase price gradually, but in my case the price jumped directly from $15.95 to $22.95 and sales actually increased, even though historically I never sold above $16.95.

Questions for the community:

1. Does this look like real price validation or just a short spike or luck?
2. Would you recommend holding $22.95 for a few days to let data stabilize, or stepping price down and laddering back up?
3. Any risks with keeping a much higher price immediately after such a jump?

Would really appreciate thoughts from sellers who’ve dealt with price elasticity and post-holiday demand shifts.

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I’m at one of those points where I’m overthinking a decision and could use some outside perspective.

I’ve been running the numbers on hiring in-house to do this properly. A marketplace manager, someone on ads, and someone to handle logistics. When I look at the total cost and time to get everyone up to speed, it feels heavy for where we are right now.

At the same time, I keep getting approached with the model where a partner buys your inventory, becomes the seller of record, and handles a lot of the execution. On paper, it sounds like a faster way to move without building a big payroll.

What I’m stuck on is whether that actually makes life easier, or just creates a different set of headaches.

If you’ve gone down the route where someone buys your inventory, did it actually work better than hiring? Did it simplify things or just move the problems around?

Hey everyone,

We just had the returns processing fee hit on a couple of ASINs and I’m trying to figure out the quickest way to get return rates back under the category threshold.

I’m less interested in theory and more in what actually works in practice over the short term. Listing changes, images, A+ content, packaging, variations, anything that’s made a real difference.

For those who’ve dealt with this before, what had the biggest impact fastest?
Was it setting clearer expectations on the PDP, improving images, tightening variations, or something else?

Hey guys! Question for Amazon Seller UAE,

If I’m shipping through FBA do I have to issue my customers their sales tax invoices or does Amazon generate it on my behalf?
