Are cellphone power banks considered a risky item?

[mjstallion]

I took a 3 year hiatus from selling on Amazon, and now I'm looking to get back into the game, this time selling furniture.

I want to rack up a quick couple hundred feedbacks on a new account, and as I'm currently in China I can get some power banks at a low order quantity for pretty cheap, and then also sell them cheaply.

I don't care about making money on them, I'm just trying to get some positive metrics going on a new account.

Thoughts?

Good luck with that

If you don't care about making money for feedback. Try to do FBA

I would be doing FBA.

But the point is that power banks (high quality) sell quite a bit, at a low price. I can sell them close to cost and at least not lose any money while I accrue feedbacks.

Why the good luck? If it's a risky item, that's why I'm asking. I haven't sold on Amazon in two years so I genuinely don't know.

What are the costs of vba to see I if it's a viable option on low cost item that weight very little

From what the Amazon site says for non media it's .50 + for ship weight, pick and pack $1.04 and a service fee of $1.00

$2.54 for a low cost item seems like allot but your own packaging, ship station postage, and first class found be just as much , thoughts? Anyone found a better pick n ship FBA like service for amazon or Eby worth looking at ?

The item is risky or not, I don't know. My comment is on this.
