How much per year are you actually making?

[treyallover]

My personal Amazon account was just recently banned. I was purchasing around $800-$1,400 per day. My profit was around 30% on average.

This was the amount that I needed to justify it being worth my time. I'm just curious as to what you seasoned sellers are making, per day/month/year, with how much time invested per day?

Any feedback from experienced sellers with years in the business are greatly appreciated.

What were you doing with the purchased items?

It's vague for a reason "lol". Why don't you trying answering the question and offering information in return for receiving. It's called give and take, "lol".

I honestly don't really care, I was just confused by your vagueness.

eBay is putting a stop to dropshipping from Amazon, so you might wanna re-think your plan.

A few hundred grand profit is a good start. I guess it all depends on what YOUR goals are. Honestly, nobody cares what yours are and you really dont care what ours are, so why not ask the question you really want to ask?

I did ask the question I wanted to ask...... is this worth the time investment? If you're making a "few hundred grand" pear year, how much time does it take you to make that? That's my question, it's pretty simple.

I have physical businesses that require me to be present. Learning to sell online seems like it would afford a higher quality of life and freedom that I don't currently have. After scrolling through a lot of these posts, i see figures from people who seem like they're just getting started, as I am. I wanted to get feedback from veteran sellers to see if this would be worth it to me. There's no angle here.

It would be worth it to abandon your physical business, or at least relegate (delegate, maybe?) management so you could focus on e-commerce full-time, once you're established online. In my opinion at least.

Overhead can be reduced to almost 0 with e-commerce while profiting a few hundred grand a year. Overhead is high with a physical store regardless of how much you're making.

EDIT: BUT if your online business plan involves buying $1k worth of stuff from Amazon every day, it's not going to work. A real wholesale supplier would be better.

You sure are bossy for a DAY ONE member lol

lol he paid so he gets to ask questions on the support forum

[oompaloompa]

regardless of what you earn, I think it is worth having your business partially or fully online for sure...

You could certainly rearrange how you trade.

Overheads matter.

How can you alter costs for brick and mortar premises to online trading profit etc.

Online for our group means complete flexibility, for example.
