I found a product in JS, selling with the brand name ( assuming trade marked), I found several suppliers have the same product, and ready to reach out to them, can I just order from suppliers put my own brand or even as generic, creat my own listing and sell the exact same products, and same packaging on Amazon?
I accidentally hit submit listing instead of Save As Draft. My listing is now showing as live with out of stock. Will this have any adverse impact and is there a way to change listing from live to draft? This will be FBA.
Amazon typically gives you a negative mark when you run out of stock, so it is best to close this listing temporarily. You can do this by logging into your Amazon Seller Central account, going to the "Settings" tab, and selecting "Account Info." From there, you can click on "Listing Status" and then "Vacation Settings." You can then select the date you will have inventory for your listing to go live again.
I'm finding it difficult and time-consuming to source products using the JS supplier Database. When I search by product it's very hard to tell which suppliers are a good match to manufacture it. I have to go record by record word-searching for the type of product, or looking for clues such as do they work with certain materials. I found potential suppliers on Alibaba but didn't see a way to add them to the JS Supplier Tracker. Am I missing something, or using the tool incorrectly?
The product I'm researching doesn't have any suppliers in the JS Supplier Database. I understand JS is guiding us to proven suppliers in the database but why can't I add my own supplier, track samples and write POs?
Thank you so much for your suggestion! I've passed this along to the developers, and hopefully, we'll see this functionality in the not-so-instant future!
How to find in JS one product 1) how many wholesale sellers? The number of sellers in the same brand, I’m assuming those are whole sellers? 2) If number of sellers is one, does that mean only the brand owner sells it? 3) does more whole sellers mean more competition even if I register my own brand?
Hi there! If there is only one seller, it's a good indication of a registered brand selling the product. Most likely it is trademarked. More than one seller usually means the product is not protected. This mean multiple sellers can list to sell the item. More seller is more competition, but this is not always a bad thing
Each product wouldn't need to have it's own brand registry, you could sell under the same name. You may want to look into patents or trademarks on the products themselves
I live in Sweden and I am just embarking on the FBA journey. Would you recommend getting in to the US-market or EU-market? Is one of the more or less complicated and more or less profitable? (Of course the choice of product must mirror the market/culture)
You can give it a try, however, in order to sell on an existing listing (if a product is trademarked), you will need the brand's approval and sell the exact same product as they do
Would it be a bad idea to invest $100,000 in an FBA business? Would it be possible for me, if I followed all the steps meticulously, to force my way into a successful Amazon business, or is it too risky? What would be a good starting investment? Since I have ample funds to work with, would it be more expedient to endure a small loss for a few months to gain traction?
We have sellers who start with a lot less, I think it's possible and the sum gives you more opportunities to spend on advertising larger products with higher price tags and larger profits.
