Selling on Amazon totally new to it advice please

chango · #1 09-17-2016

Ok I have sold on eBay for ages, I have a bought lots stuff of amazon mainly because of the Amazon Prime next day shipping. So I have a good account that’s 6 years old.
So I thought I would sell some of my stock on Amazon after finding this site.
I could put about 80 small new items on there straight off. I can’t really sell any on eBay until I get a good eBay account back up and running. Doing the books and £1 land stuff at the moment.
There’s a free offer on amazon seller Pro ..1 month free then 25 plus vat etc. Should I take this offer and list all 80 items ? Or should I take the basic seller and list say the full 35 items.. I think its 35 not sure, someone said it’s as many as you want. I can’t seem to find anywhere that states the selling limits.
I’m going to use FBA, so if I bought something for 50p and the lowest price per item is 4.99 on Amazon where do I pitch the price ? I can buy more stock if I sell the items but its limited or they may run out in the meantime that’s the gamble I suppose with low cash flow. Most of what I can get my hands on is branded/new but I wouldn’t say the "must have thing", probably semi slow burners. Although I don’t know if stuff sells quicker on Amazon than eBay. Anyway I like the idea of FBA. I have a genuine legit supplier so If I run into the supplier problem that’s not a problem as I have a full business account with them.
Anyway any advice is very welcome.

Use the ghost guide to set up a stealth account on Amazon - it's a different beast then eB. You can list your stuff right away. Don't know what VCC will work at the moment so speak to one of the sellers here.

No selling limits apply to Amazon but careful on selling risky things...

I actually have a good legit personal Amazon account, I have a good source for goods to sell at good prices. I was just looking really for advice on whether to go pro or hang back and just personal, but now I know its 75p per item on personal and I'm going to be selling small items with not so high profit it seems the pro is a better alternative.
