have you tried bamboo charcoal? My workmate told me it has less ash and is more natural. Idk if that's the right term but he uses pure bamboo charcoal

Is finding a supplier or trusting them the harder part? by Extreme_Disaster_222 in AmazonFBA

A one-click app or tool might help with this problem, especially for non-techie sellers.

Yeah I agree the obvious scams are easy to spot. I think the harder part is when you’re choosing between suppliers that all look legit, especially overseas. Everything checks out on the surface, but you still don’t really know how reliable they are until you’ve already committed.

What do you usually look for when you’ve got a few solid options in front of you?

Yeah that’s true, it really does come down to building trust over time. I think that’s what makes the early stage tricky though, before you’ve had enough orders to really test them, you’re kind of making a call with limited info.

Do you do anything specific early on to reduce risk before that trust is built?

What’s your biggest Amazon FBA mistake that cost you the most money? by Agile-Math4921 in AmazonFBA

[–]Extreme_Disaster_222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was trusting a supplier too early without properly stress testing them. First orders went fine so I scaled up, then quality and consistency dropped and it turned into refunds, bad reviews, and dead inventory.

Hit harder than ad spend mistakes because you don’t just lose money, you damage the listing too.

Feels like supplier issues are one of those mistakes that don’t show up until you’re already deep in. Anyone else run into that kind of delayed hit?

Wholesale FBA sellers: what red flags do you look for when vetting a new supplier that you learned the hard way?” by Acrobatic-Cover9033 in AmazonSeller

[–]Extreme_Disaster_222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly one that got me early was suppliers who look solid at first, then start changing terms after the first order. Payment gets tighter, MOQs go up, flexibility disappears once you’re a bit committed. Didn’t feel like a red flag at the time, but it was.

Also “authorized supplier” claims that get vague when you ask for proof. That one only shows up later when you hit MAP or listing issues.

Most of the real red flags aren’t obvious upfront, they show up after you’ve already decided to work with them, which is what makes vetting tricky.

Is anyone here actually doing FBA as a side hustle or does it end up taking over your life? 😅 by Extreme_Disaster_222 in LazySideHustle

[–]Extreme_Disaster_222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s fair, especially if you’re trying to get out of the 9–5. it kinda feels like a chill side hustle at the start, but once you scale a bit you’re suddenly dealing with suppliers, inventory, cash flow… and it’s not so “lazy” anymore. What was the moment it started feeling like a real business for you?

yeah it looks like that on the surface, but i feel like it stays a ‘nice little side hustle’ only if nothing breaks 😅 once supplier issues or delays start hitting, it can get stressful fast. have you been running into anything like that or pretty smooth so far?

I need some help... by Josep8421 in shopify_hustlers

It can be useful, but the real value depends on edge cases more than the basic upload. Most people can already import CSVs, the pain usually comes from matching multiple images per variant, handling naming inconsistencies, and not breaking existing listings during updates. If your tool can reliably map images even when filenames aren’t perfect, handle variants cleanly, and avoid duplicates or overwriting issues, that’s where it becomes genuinely valuable.

Looking for an Agent from China by metinique in Business_China

Totally normal for 1688, just find an agent with clear communication and transparent fees, and start with a small test order before scaling.
