I know many people do this . They simply ship directly from china to lets say uk fba . I would like to know how its done how the taxes are paid etc.

Never tried this, but it would be the same as importing.

Would need a broker, transportation, and more than likely, the ability to sticker products for FF.

Could be a real hemorrhoid.

You would also need to think about returns, and how they are handled.

Of course, if you are dealing in low value, one of a kind items, that you make up the detail page, it would become somewhat easier.

Ups and dhl are the brokers. I was wondering if could just give my account for payment and probably would need to give them vat number for import issues.

i know some people do this directly with companies reg in hong kong. that would be interesting with cheap items you can simply dispose them and destroy if faulty

You cannot ship direct to amazon from outside the EU as you have to put amazon as the receiver of the goods, i.e. its shipping to there address and therefore they are classed as the importer. They will refuse the shipment. You need a freight agent in the UK who will accept these goods on your behalf and then ship them to amazon from the UK.

How?

FBA items that fail the amazon cut do not necessarily come back to you.

Sometimes its not worth it to ship them back in europe the fee is very high sometimes it cost more than item itself
