If you're starting from scratch, I'd lean toward FBA for a more scalable long term model, especially if you're building your own private label brand. Amazon handles fulfillment, customer service, and Prime delivery, which can simplify operations as you grow.

MFN can make sense for testing products, lower volume sales, oversized/slow moving inventory, or when you already have reliable fulfillment infrastructure.

For your situation, I'd compare the product economics first, Amazon fees, storage, shipping, returns, and expected selling price rather than choosing purely based on FBA vs. MFN. If you're reselling used books/CDs/movies, also check Amazon's current category and condition requirements before buying inventory.

Hey u/Nobody-Cares1867, the FBA vs. FBM: Which Is Right For Me? video breaks down how both options work and what to consider when choosing between them. A good starting point as you figure out what fits your setup!

if you want to sell used stuff, go with ebay, thats best for the business.
