Has anyone ever sell a successful amazon account as a business?

[quantum]

Came across a site called empire flippers that broker successful ecommerce businesses. There are quite a few Amazon accounts on there, from dropshipping to FBA accounts. Has anyone had any experience with selling their accounts?

With amazon specially it's not that easy to do.

And I wouldn't waste my time with those websites. All the ones I know of are not even close to the knowledge of the members here.

In general I would not recommend it to you, it is something that really will not give you much, ask in the forum what you need, here you will be better and we can help you with whatever you need

Why would you not recommend selling your business via them? I don't know the exact procedure but where is the risk if they pay up before you hand over the account?

Indeed, I didn't think we were allowed to sell our accounts via this forum.

there might be some confusion. I meant buying/selling ecommerce stores, like with inventory, operations, etc. These are like full blown stores so you're buying a business, not just an empty stealth account with some history/feedback. Link below for an example..

These guys are essentially brokers, they have a list of fully operational ecommerce businesses with a stated revenue. Their asking price is usually based on revenue multiple. In terms of financing and logistics, I'm sure that'll be dependent on the seller. Yes, there will be some risks of course just like anything else. I think most of us that have survived on Amazon for years know best what kind of risks we could potentially run into.

I can build an account, make some good money, but I would like an exit plan one day to unload these accounts at the right price. Thoughts?

I have been thinking of this also. Flipper might be the one I saw also.

Need to check emails.

Just checked, it is flippa, not empire flippers, from the AZ seller news letter.

I doubt there is any significant demand there , it is easier to just copy such a business , pretend to be a buyer , receive info on the business strategy and just copy it at a small fraction of the price

That would be the most sensible thing to do, as you explain it, friend.
