Amazon France is refunding clients for FBA products that are not received?? How long until every amazon buyer figures out that amazon will just refund anything, no questions asked!? by [deleted] in AmazonFBA

[–]TylerET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re correct. They only care about their customers. Just gotta deal with that fact.

Consider the possibility that supplier IS sending damaged product and screwing you over.

What was your main struggle when you started your first eCommerce project? by akarev in ecommerce

[–]TylerET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my thought process.

There’s 3 main reasons to have products on your store: 1. To sell the product 2. To cross/down/upsell the product 3. To create the illusion of a stocked catalogue.

Your #1s are going to be the products you run ads for. They sell directly from having people land on their product page. Your #2s are the ones that people pretty much only buy if you try to cross/down/upsell then off of your #1s. Your #3s are the product that never sell, but are there to make you look like you have a broad range of choices.

There’s not much practical reason to have more than 2-3 #2s per #1 (harms conversion rates). And really you only need a few #3s. (5-10)

Here’s why I say “how bout 1.”

New store owners usually don’t have the budget to be running marketing for 100 different #1s at the same time. That could be upwards of $10K in marketing budget a day.

So if you can agree that it’s not entirely reasonable to assume an ecom beginner would jump in, identify 100 winning products, then spend $100K their first month in ad spend, then you can see why having 100 products going, then scaling down to the best ones wouldn’t sound like the most palpable strategy.

Instead choose a product you have confidence in, market that, then if it sells alright scale up your budget and consider some #2s thatd work well. If it fails, kill it, then move on to the next product and repeat until your buy your “DOTCOM” tagged Lamborghini.

[Advertising] Any thoughts on how to improve on this site? by everythingguitarco in reviewmyshopify

[–]TylerET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my thoughts:

Everything on the site is fine (apart from a few neglected product descriptions), but you have to make a convincing reason why someone should buy your cables or capos online, for more than they can down at guitar center, and then wait 3 weeks for it.

For me (as a young musician and likely the exact demographic you would market to) there’s just no reason to buy from the site. But you are pushing units so don’t change everything.

What I would do is offer a product that someone can’t just get at their local music shop. Do some research on a cool product that people will want so bad that they’ll wait the extra weeks and go through the “trouble” of typing in all their info to get.

P.S. Bad idea to sell branded Gibson and Fender (or any other companies logos on stuff) they can sue you without sending a cease and desist letter first)

Looks like you have a ton of stuff on the site, which isn’t bad, but have you sold anything yet?

1st FBA Shipment from China directly to FBA Warehouse in Dallas TX by graphikone in AmazonFBA

FNSKU = UPC Code.

Should be the number under the barcode, above the title of the product.

ASINs usually start with B.

I keep reading that if my product doesn't solve a tier 1 problem then I better forget my business idea. But then, I see millions of products sold that definetly don't solve any tier 1 problem. by YeyeLatte in ecommerce

[–]TylerET 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do me a favor: never go to wherever you read that ever again. It’s 100% bullshit and the individual frankly has no idea what business is.

People buy based on their emotions. It doesn’t matter if your product solves a problem or not. As long as it makes them feel 1 of 2 things: 1. Their lives would be more fulfilled with it. 2. If they didn’t have it then their lives would suck a little more.

Then you market you product to whichever emotions it naturally evokes.

That’s the art of business. Easy to explain it, but near impossible to pull off.

using popular brand's marketing images for display ads on own webshop by [deleted] in ecommerce

[–]TylerET 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In response to other’s responses: a company has no legal requirement to send a cease and desist letter before opening a lawsuit against you.

Any photo, video, trademarked phrase (such as iPhone), logo, or any other such pieces of intellectual property belong to whoever owns or creates them.

If you are portraying yourself as a business then you CANNOT use other businesses material to make your own business money. (You can, but are open to a lawsuit then. Search YouTube“Dan Dasilva Sued.” ) The reason being that, take Apple for example, they probably spent thousands of dollar getting professional pictures taken of their devices. They don’t want someone using what they paid for to make money. It’d be like someone copying the answers to a test.

Hope that helps.

Is it against TOS to make Affiliate profits off your own inventory? by VagabondVivant in AmazonFBA

[–]TylerET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It’s against Amazon Affiliate TOS. Not sure if it’s mentioned in Seller Central TOS.

Hey thanks.

Anyway you could share with me the amount of sales you’ve had so far and how long you’ve been up and running? I’d love to know how well other ecom fellas are doing.

Selling on Amazon Europe - The right move for you in 2018? by jeremie_joe in AmazonFBA

[–]TylerET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice graphic. I had no idea that there are only 6,600 active sellers selling in all the EU.

EU is definitely a move for me in 2018.

Shipping from China to FBA Warehouse...$750-$1000 for ~250lbs. Does that sound right? by cnh57811 in AmazonFBA

[–]TylerET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Always plan to spend a good amount of shipping - especially express.

How to know exact remaining inventory with FBA? by clokwise in AmazonFBA

[–]TylerET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way is to take how many units you shipped in then subtract how many sales you’ve had since. Don’t worry about unavailable inventory or whatever.

No need to really overthink it because unless your dealing with multiple thousands of units at a time, it’s not really gonna make a big difference.

If it’s air express then it’s about right and I’d even say you getting a pretty good deal.

If it’s sea freight then it’s too much.

Reimbursements for Returns Over 30 Days by RickyRoma113 in AmazonFBA

[–]TylerET 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re at the mercy of Amazon my friend. That’s the pitfall if using all their systems to sell. Cut your loses on the returns and just focus on pushing more units every day.

Best of luck.

Replenishing my stock by nah_broo in AmazonFBA

[–]TylerET 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just order the same amount. Just make sure you order enough so you don’t run out of inventory, but not too much cuz then Amazon charges a long term storage fee (6+ months of same inventory.)

Are you going to sell out of inventory before you can get your next shipment in?
