Amazon FBA - new account

[jakobrockz]

If I bought 50 paper back books at the goodwill for .10 a piece and send them all to Amazon FBA to start up my first amazon account, would this help create a profile/trust and create inventory for profit (potentially)?

If they would sell would depend on the books you chose, also you have to very clear on the condition of used items on Amazon, they take a very dim view of descriptions that elaborate on the condition of items and so do their buyers who are known to only leave feedback if items are not as good as they think they should be!

I have a real amazon account that I've had opened for two+ years and sold one item on it lol. Wonder if this will be an advantage

Hehe only 1 item jakobrockz!, actually I have been thinking about trying out FBA myself, it seems to give a good chance of success to most people as it takes just about everything out of their hands and controls it all, so no hassles with shipping or returns. Having enough items to bring in the returns on investment is a major factor when choosing to go down that route.
