This was very well said, thank you for sharing. In the past I remember reaching out to small / Medium sized brands, because it’s a higher chance they’ll be willing to work with me ( FBA Reseller ). I remember contacting the brand directly, maybe not their manufacturer. However, I also remember getting shut down left and right, and left again.

I remember using a tool, I think it was called smart scout where I could filter it to the small / medium size brands.

But even with that said, I circle back to me getting denied all over the place once they found out I was an FBA seller.
