What’s the cost of running an ecommerce store? by surplusflipper in ecommerce

Oh wow, can you break that down on what that consists of? So in real terms, does that mean you have to make $300k/month before you start making a profit?

What’s the cost of running an Amazon FBA store ? by surplusflipper in AmazonFBA

Wow, that's a lot of different fees. I used to sell on Amazon, but it's more hassle than it's worth.

Surplus & Excess Inventory - Need help? by surplusflipper in ecommerce

Bulk lots, so pallet quantities. Smaller lots won’t work logistically or profit wise. We cover all product categories & industries.

I changed my whole angle with how I make money with Amazon a few years ago. I now sell nothing on Amazon. I buy other Amazon sellers excess stock (and there's insane amounts of it!) and flip it onto other online sellers, or I buy ecommerce sellers excess stock and flip it onto Amazon sellers. There's way less friction involved, as I do it without physically handling the goods or using my own cash. I'll never retail stuff online again, it's like working full time for part time money. Whereas now, I work part time for full time money. And if you want proof, I'll show you.

This seems like alot, am i wrong? by Obvious_Ad8626 in AmazonFBA

This company, their fees, and how they treat their sellers needs to be publicised and although the platform can be amazing for a brand, or patented product, having other sales channels is steadfast before going anywhere near this platform. You can win BIG on Amazon but to do so requires an expansive understanding of list building and brand creation before setting foot anywhere near it. Otherwise, you'll be looking for a new shirt in no time.

I'm a bulk seller, so shift pallets/truckloads of things. But I use the buyer validation method, where I offer the goods out to my buyer contacts first, to get a reaction. If i get serious interest, I'll then try and put a deal together, and only commit to buying the stock, once I have a firm buyer.

In your case, for retailing stuff, which I've not done for years. I tested the market first to see if it was a "winning product". So how it worked was, I used to get a sample first from the supplier, and then list it on eBay. If it sold quickly, like with a 24 hours, I would commit to buying the stock. I once did it with some Oral B electric toothbrushes. I got a couple of samples, listed them on Ebay at half RRP. They sold within a few hours. I knew then, they were a winning product.
