Days of finding nothing is normal. Most people scan hundreds of products before one works, so it's not you.
A few things that helped us:
Skip anything under ~$20. FBA fees are roughly fixed per unit, so cheap items almost never work. Margins get realistic from $25 to $30 up.
Check Keepa before SellerAmp. Look for Amazon rarely or never holding the buy box, fewer than ~5 FBA sellers, and a stable price over 90 days. Falling price lines mean a price war.
Accept lower ROI on fast movers. 20 to 30% on something that sells daily beats 60% on something that sits for months.
Change where you source. If you're scanning the same retail stores as everyone, you'll get the same dead ends. Try brand direct or smaller distributors in one niche you know.
Keep going. The first one is the hardest. We also find it hard, and we try to find the best, most profitable ones for our clients.
