My FBA business is on the brink of possibly failing.

Got into FBA this year and I had such high hopes that this would help me generate some extra income on the side.

I am completely devestated as I am beginning to realize that it is far more competitive than I thought. I do know that there was a time when the Chinese manufacturers weren’t on Amazon. Those must have been the good days where FBA fees were also much lower.

I can’t help but feel bad I didn’t get involved with this business model in 2017. Does anyone else feel this way?

I don’t know if I should keep pushing or let it go. It’s been 2 months since I’ve been selling and all the money I make from my sales goes straight to Amazon Ad spend and I am always left with a negative balance every two weeks.

1st “payment” – $1000 that’s right I paid them 1000. 2nd “payment”. -$500, again I paid 500 3rd “payment” -$100. Losing money again.

Is anyone else about to give up on this business model? I just feel like there is no hope for new sellers to thrive in this space anymore, not because it is saturated but because of the competition with the suppliers themselves.
