Amazon FBA Wholesale: What Is It and How to Get Started

Big brands like Coca-Cola and Tide earn billions of dollars every year by selling their products wholesale to retailers, who then sell them at a markup to consumers. But big brands are not the only ones able to make significant income through wholesale sales; individuals and small businesses can use the Amazon FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) platform to sell wholesale products to Amazon, who then handles all aspects of distribution and customer service. This article explains what Amazon FBA wholesale is, how it works, and how you can get started using the platform today.

Step 1 – Choose Your Products

Choosing your products can be the most difficult part of starting an Amazon business, so it's important to think carefully about what you're going to sell. To find a profitable product, you need a good understanding of what sells well on Amazon and how much competition there is in your chosen category. You should also consider how much time and money you want to invest in your business.

Step 2 – Understanding your Profit Margins

If you're selling a product, the next thing you'll want to figure out is what your profit margins are. For example, if you were buying a shirt for $10 in the store, how much of that $10 is profit? If it's just 10%, then you would make $1 for every shirt sold on Amazon. But, if it's 50% margin then that means you can make up to 50 cents per shirt.

Step 3 – Prepare for Shipping, Storage & Returns

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a program where Amazon handles the fulfillment of your products. You ship your inventory to an Amazon warehouse, we pick, pack, ship, provide customer service and returns handling for these items. We also handle selling on other marketplaces including eBay, Walmart Marketplace, Newegg Marketplace. Customers can also buy from our website.

Step 4 – Understand the Marketplace

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a program that lets sellers store their inventory in Amazon's fulfillment centers, ship them using Amazon's shipping options, and offers additional customer service. With the FBA program, you don't need to handle any of the logistics. You just focus on selling great products.

Step 5 – Product Listings

Before you can get started with selling on Amazon, you need to create product listings. Product listings are the foundation of your Amazon store. To create a listing, you will need to provide the name of the product, its price, its size (if applicable), shipping options, images of the product, and any other relevant information. You'll also want to include a description or tagline for the product. Your goal in this section is to make people want your product!

Step 6 – Finding Suppliers

Once you've found the items you want, it's time to search for a supplier. This may take some time but is worth it in order to find a supplier that can provide quality goods at an affordable price. It's important that your supplier is reliable because if they are unreliable with shipping times, there will be delays in when your products are delivered which may cause customers to not purchase from you.

Step 7 – Start Selling on Amazon

To start selling on Amazon, you need to register as a seller with Amazon. There is no upfront cost or monthly fee when you sign up, but they do charge a small referral fee for each item sold. The referral fee is different depending on the category in which your products are sold. You can find all of this information listed here . Once you've registered as a seller, you'll need to list your product(s) on Amazon's website. Once your items have been accepted by Amazon, the company will provide you with two forms that must be filled out before making your first sale. The first form is called an Inventory Release Form, and it lets Amazon know how much inventory you want to sell at any given time; this will determine what percentage of each sale goes back to Amazon as its commission.
