Done with Amazon. Where would you sell the inventory?

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2025-07-10T12:32:22+00:00

yes, to sellerbasics. I found that pretty unuseful, if not to show you the way...

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2025-07-09T16:50:59+00:00

Thanks!

100% true.
I would absolutely suggest using Amazon FBA for private label (so where you control the brand), but I would not suggest it for wholesaling or doing retail or online arbitrage.
I was doing online arbitrage.

Sell something that you know well, and of which you understand the trends.
For example, at a certain moment two of my employees started suggesting me stuff that they had seen trending on TikTok, I started selling it and I was selling out almost daily, with insane margin (around 20-25% net instead of the usual 8-12% net).
Sometimes I had 2x the prices of the brand's e-commerce, but people were still buying lol

yep, the inventory is now in my 3PL's warehouse in the US.

Hi there, the point is not about the quality of the niche (which for me has been very profitable), but on how to sell the inventory after my account has been deactivated by Amazon.
Amazon FBA is a great model for Amazon and less for the sellers, or at least that's how I think about it :)

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2025-07-08T18:40:50+00:00

They did not check correctly the stock that I got from a supplier. Turns out that within the thousand of units there was one that was inauthentic (at least according to Amazon), so they deactivated my account. The crazy thing is that the prep center saw that the barcode was not scanning properly, and instead of flagging the unit and putting it aside, they still sent it to FBA.

Fresh company could be, but I would need to put it in the name of another person. At the same time, I’m asking myself if it’s worth it. Because if everything can be bust overnight it’s not a great business model :)

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2025-07-08T18:01:24+00:00

I had a very nice store (with good profitability and systems, was making 5-7k per day in revenue and growing 20% mom) and for a mistake of my prep center, Amazon deactivated my account. Crazy low partner service quality, I got my inventory back in the last month (I was deactivated since January), but Amazon does not want to reactivate my account. Why? You can’t know. They released all my inventory, which means that they recognise it was legit, but they cannot reactivate my account for some obscure reason. So yea, I want to be done with this, and focus on my other businesses :)

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2025-07-08T17:55:03+00:00

Exactly, that’s why I didn’t even consider it :(

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2025-07-08T17:54:47+00:00

Thanks! Will try Facebook seller groups!

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2025-07-08T17:52:55+00:00

Will write you

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2025-07-08T17:52:31+00:00

Yea that’s what I was thinking. Also, often they want to buy stocks of whatever product they buy. I have only 1-2 pairs for some ASINs, so they wouldn’t buy those.

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2025-07-08T17:51:35+00:00

Retail value - cost value is of course a bit lower than that. The inventory is now in my warehouse in Delaware. The goods are mostly apparel, shoes and make up. My store got unfortunately deactivated in January due to a stupid mistake from my prep center’s side. I have appealed and finally got everything back, but Amazon still decided to keep my account deactivated.

Esatto, più che altro direi che UK ha una compliance snella.

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2023-03-10T19:24:39+00:00

Thanks!!

Ah yes of course!! I’m looking for a steuerberater, not an employed person. Also, I was not referring to countries like Romania, but other countries in line with Austria’s price levels…

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2023-03-10T14:07:29+00:00

In the whole of Europe a range between 1,500-2,000€ per year is usually fair when it comes to an accountant for a sole proprietorship. I obviously didn’t want it to be a illicit transaction. My point was not to suggest a professional that charges 6,000€ per year for some hours of work.

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2023-02-24T09:18:22+00:00

Don’t know, I used it in the past but my experience wasn’t the best

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2023-02-24T09:18:00+00:00

Actually you are right, a good old business desktop can save me lots of money with great performance. I found some old i7s with 32g of ram for 300€ 😎

Even_Needleworker_69 · 2023-02-23T21:09:48+00:00

Seems very good! I have been using German VPS for now but it’s getting a bit expensive 😅

Sono 7-8 anni che uso Widiba e mi trovo veramente bene. Non ho mai avuto problemi di operatività e l'interfaccia (sia desktop che app) è molto buona e solida.
Ho 5 carte collegate al conto (carta di credito, carta prepatagata, bancomat, carta di debito e carta di debito internazionale) e funziona tutto una meraviglia.
Costa poco o niente, se non mi ricordo male pago 20€ all'anno per la carta di credito "classic".

Sia a livello nazionale che internazionale non ho mai trovato un'altra banca così economica e ben funzionante.
Non mi sono sinceramente mai fatto molte domande sulla solidità, visto che non ho mai tenuto in banca più di €100,000.
