The noob :) A few questions.

GhostWhoWalks · #1 08-26-2014

I sell products on eb.

I'm getting real tired of it. I was looking to go on Amazon.

And I noticed that some people have this affiliate program.

Now I was thinking of sending all of my products or at least 25 to 50 at Amazon.

Is it possible to just send my products to Amazon 25 to 50 so when a sale is made they just ship it for me?

And also could I be able to do something where people can be affiliated with my products so they earn a % of every sale they made thanks to themselves? And Amazon still ships it for me?

Thanks, Ghost.

FBA sounds great James told me about it!

I did see pictures of huge warehouses on CNN last year and wondered if it would even be possible. So why not.

Thanks, Ghost.

These are my suggestions before you take the plunge into amazon.

Decide on what country you are going to use.

Let's say you are going to use amazon USA, go to the Amazon Guide sites.

Read them from start to finish. Then read them from finish to start.

That way you will see all the things possible to do.

There are also some fairly in-depth discussion forums on different topics. Read them to get a picture of this new venture.

amazon is complex. But tackled correctly, you can, and you DO make money.

Good Luck

with fba be aware that ppl will buy your items and send back their junk to fba and you will have to eat it. also be aware that competitors can easily have your items removed/blocked so make sure you have LEGIT suppliers receipts for everything you sell

I deal with a factory direct this wouldn't be a problem. All my stuff is from within the USA so they can confirm and not some 3rd world country. My invoices are all in English. Not French or German. But all English. I only got on here cause I sold feedback to boost my ranking on eb. And got my account back after 30 days. I was punished by ebay for 30 days only.

But I'm ready to send them all the information. There will be competition in any niche you sell.

Amazon is a completely different animal - the suspension/deletion they deal out is quite troublesome...but best of luck

OMG So like nobody sells on Amazon no more! :( It's why they got way more traffic then eBay.

I sell my own brands legit no problems with my accounts and my competition is also selling on Amazon. Not really worried or scared.

I got docs from the factory I buy my stuff and the invoices. You made it sound like they'll just suspend me ASAP as soon as I say hi on there.

GreenBean · #17 08-27-2014

OI! Settle down a bit.

amazon differs so radically from ebay.

It's a different mind set.

You will not have the luxury of calling in & yelling.

amazon can be stone deaf.

Making it sound like I sell phakes or something.

Anyways yeah will do my real information I am not scared of my items others sell it as well on there. If they shut me down for whatever reason I'll just call in. What they want? My ID? Drivers ID? Passport? Sure no problem here you go. What else Suppliers? Alright here you go, confirm all you want. My bank details? Not a problem here you go.

What else?

Yeah it's a beast when you sell foo foo. Stop selling foo foo and both eBay and Amazon beasts will turn into young kittens.

MEOW!

no one bashing you, but if you start selling something else that other sellers are/have been selling and other sellers start losing business because of you TRUST ME, REAL or NOT you will have problems.

all I'm saying is be prepared with amazon as unlike ebay the only support you get is email and if they don't like your tone well guess what, you won't even get a response at all.

ever since i started selling on amazon I've found it to be way better for what i sell and haven't had much issues
