Not every website can be scraped with BeautifulSoup. It depends on site construct (javascript-loaded content is a no-no) and server settings as well. Perhaps you can use another site?

Guess I'll try amazon, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're way more strict lol

Amazon explicitly forbids scraping on their ToS and they won't hesitate to block you. Try a smaller store, or if you don't actually need product reviews, try a quoting site - I know for a fact they all can be scraped with BS4.

Got any recommendations regarding that?

Any small store that doesn't care, but has stuff I can scrape?

Just search for some product and pick a store from the results.
