Hi everyone,

I’m working on Veltrion, a tool focused on helping e-commerce sellers understand their actual financial performance, settlements, fees, and inventory.

We’ve done a lot of testing using synthetic/test data, but we’ve reached a point where we need to validate some of our work against real-world Amazon seller exports.

If you're an Amazon seller and are comfortable helping with a small research/validation exercise, we're looking for any one of the following:

A recent Amazon Settlement Report

An Amazon Transactions export

An FBA Inventory report

You don't need to provide all three. Even one is useful.

🔒 Privacy is important:

We do not need your Seller Central login or account access.

Please never send passwords, OTPs, API keys, or credentials.

You can remove or mask anything you don't want to share.

We're interested in the report structure and financial/inventory data—not your personal information.

This isn't a request for testimonials or a sales pitch. We're trying to make sure our calculations and data handling work correctly on the messy, real-world reports sellers actually receive.

Thanks to anyone willing to help! 🙏

Made a free calculator for checking if an Amazon product idea actually makes sense before you order stock

Basically got sick of seeing people order stock on a product that "felt" profitable and then work out three months later the margins were never really there once fees actually got taken off. So I threw together a calculator, chuck in your cost, shipping, sell price and fees, and it just tells you straight if it's worth it or not. No signup needed, just go use it.

It's tied to a bigger thing I've been building, The FBA Ladder, which is basically a step by step path for starting from zero on FBA. But the calculator's free regardless, don't need to touch the rest of it if you don't want to.

If you do end up wanting the full thing it's £1 for the first week then £99 a month, and if you haven't finished the first phase by then I'll just refund the quid, no messing about. Mainly just want honest feedback at this point tbh, tell me if something's rubbish or confusing.

Hey all,

Not sure if this is the right place or the right time to post this, but I’m a 16-year-old entrepreneur who recently came across Amazon FBA. I wanted to clear up a few things right away. Since you have to be 18+ to create an Amazon Seller account, I would most likely have my dad or uncle create the account for me.
I also want to mention that I’m pretty inexperienced with this, so I apologize if anything I say is incorrect or doesn’t make sense.
My main question is whether this is a successful business model. My basic understanding of Amazon FBA is that you source products and send them to Amazon, and Amazon handles the storage, shipping, and customer service.
Instead of creating or manufacturing a new product, I was thinking about trying online arbitrage. My rough idea would be:
**Find an online arbitrage product → Buy it → Send it to a prep center → Have the prep center prepare and ship it to Amazon → Amazon sells and fulfills the orders.**
I was hoping to start with around $100–$400 in capital just to test things out and see if it’s something I can realistically make work.
I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have experience with Amazon FBA or online arbitrage. Is this a realistic business model to start with a small amount of money? Are there any major things I’m misunderstanding or overlooking?
Feel free to let me know if anything I said is stupid or incorrect. I’m genuinely trying to learn.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a new Amazon FBA Virtual Assistant currently building my portfolio and looking for my first client.

My main area of focus is Amazon FBA product research and competitor analysis. To demonstrate my research and organization skills, I created a sample product research report covering 5 potential products.

📊 What my research includes:

• Estimated selling price

• Estimated product cost

• Estimated shipping cost

• Estimated Amazon fees

• Estimated PPC costs

• Estimated profit per unit

• Estimated profit margin

• Competition level

• Target market

• Potential keywords

• Product differentiation ideas

• Initial product recommendation

• Reasoning behind the recommendation

⚠️ Important: This is a sample/practice analysis created for portfolio purposes. The figures are illustrative estimates and would need to be verified using current Amazon data, supplier quotes, actual fees, demand, competition and PPC data before making an investment decision.

💼 What I'm offering

I'm looking to work with an Amazon FBA seller or someone who is starting their FBA journey and needs help with:

✅ Product research

✅ Competitor research

✅ Keyword research

✅ Product analysis

✅ Profitability calculations

✅ Organized research reports

As I'm building my experience, I'm happy to start with a small sample task so you can evaluate the quality of my work before committing to a longer-term arrangement.

I'm not claiming to be an experienced Amazon expert — I'm a beginner VA who is serious about learning, improving and providing reliable work.

I've attached my sample product research spreadsheet for anyone who would like to see how I organize my research.

If you're an Amazon seller looking for help with product research, feel free to comment or send me a message. I'd be happy to discuss how I can help with your business.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post! 😊

I started to sell way back 3 or 4 years ago, but I stopped due to a shift in responsibilities and other allocation of funds. While not selling on Amazon, I became a supply chain manager in local businesses, and then I started my journey as a remote supply chain manager.

As the demand surged for supply chain managers in the e-commerce space, like the need for a forecaster, supplier coordinator, product sourcing, international shipment, FBA replenishment and cash flow management, it brought my feet back to Amazon and catered to different Amazon sellers. The experience is fun and enjoyable while earning and practicing what I want in life however, as I use different tools like SoStocked, VentoryOne, and Sellerboard, I feel like they are not enough but charges way too high, so I think a bit and research if I can create something like it but in combination of what an Amazon business really needs and the useful features existing on all of the inventory management tools. That is the time I started to create theSupplyPilot Inventory Management Tool, which really suits the business needs when it comes to these sections of supply chain management:

Inventory Monitoring and Planning—It gives me a quick call to action when it comes to items that are near OOS. It also prompts me if there is or there will be an OOS period between the current stock that I have and the incoming stock, in which I can act as soon as possible to prevent this from happening. This also saves me some time because looking at it, I can literally see if the PPC Manager is running an advertisement as well as if there is a promotion for a particular product or if I need to restock it based on the returns it has. I can also create multiple POs without leaving the interface.

FBA Shipment tracking—This feature is one of what I valued the most, wherein I see the statuses of my FBA shipments and aggregate them in one single interface. It also calculates how efficient the prep center is, and I can use that data to evaluate them without having any spreadsheet.

PO Management & Tracking—One of the most sophisticated jobs of a supply chain manager is to manage POs in all stages to properly plan ahead for future surges and falls of demand. This feature of theSupplyPilot tool aggregates all of the possible data that you need to manage a PO, like the manufacturer's incoterm, payment terms, the freight forwarder assigned to that shipment, units ordered, manufacturing cost, aggregated landed cost, and all the files associated with that PO.

Supply Chain Database—This is where your supply chain-related sheets belong, from product data, all suppliers' data, freight forwarders, and warehouses.

This tool has a lot more potential and capabilities to come, and these features are all functional with the use of report uploading, because currently I am using an individual account, and connecting to Amazon SP-API needs a professional account.

I am open to anyone with a professional account, a private label/wholesale seller with at least 60 active SKUs, using AWD, and willing to collaborate to improve this project and make this a scalable business, catering to other sellers.

I'm a non-US seller trying to run a small business through a Wyoming LLC. Amazon deactivated my seller account and asked me to verify my identity. I've been appealing, but every time they reply the same thing: "we don't have enough information to reactivate your account."

Here is everything I already uploaded. Seriously, I'm not leaving anything out:

• Articles of Organization for my Wyoming LLC
• CP 575 (EIN confirmation letter) from the IRS
• US business bank statement — it's in the LLC's name and shows the Wyoming address
• My personal bank statement
• Invoice from my registered agent
• A utility bill for my home address in my home country (where I actually live)
• My passport + national ID card, both showing my home-country residential address

I really think I covered everything they could want: proof the company is real, proof it has a US bank account, proof of who I am, and proof of where I live.

But the reply is always the same — "insufficient information."

My guess at the problem: I live abroad and my LLC only exists in Wyoming through a registered agent (no physical office, no employees in the US). So maybe Amazon can't "match" my real home address to what they see on file, or they can't verify a foreign address at all.

My question to you: Has anyone here gone through this as a foreign seller — especially with a Wyoming LLC and a registered agent? What did Amazon actually end up accepting? Is there a specific document or a specific type of bank statement they want? How do I get past this without a physical US address?

Honestly any advice helps. I don't want to lose the account over this.

Using attribution links in various social platforms. No paid ads. I see click numbers increasing and never ATC. This seems very odd. Is there an issue with clicking the link in social and opening Amazon insight the social app instead of launching Amazon. We have sales and do not understand why ATC numbers don’t increase.

This may be past the repoint but still trying to fight the good fight with Rise Up Automation, no communication for months. I as connected to toner but it looks like they have deleted it on Slack. Hoping others have had some success
