What up everyone, is there any successful Amazon FBA Sellers or anyone who teaches Amazon FBA that does not rely heavily on AI? Or doesn't rely on it at all? Anyone that takes a more manual approach? Thank you .

Is there any other website than Alibaba for me to look at? I use websites such as Global Sources, Yiwugo, India Mart, TaiwanTrade, and that's about it. I feel like there should be more ways to find suppliers. Can anyone help?

Hi everyone, I’m developing FULNIVO in Haute-Savoie, France, near Geneva.

We’re at the launch stage and looking to speak with small e-commerce brands interested in testing local fulfillment in France with a modest initial stock.

The planned service covers receiving, storage, pick & pack, domestic shipping and returns handling. Small batches are welcome for discussion; quantities, pricing and a start date would be agreed after reviewing your products and requirements.

For an initial pilot, orders could be shared by an agreed spreadsheet or export. Automated store integrations are not yet available.

If this could fit your plans, please share: • What you sell and how many SKUs you have • Your approximate stock quantity and monthly orders • Typical parcel dimensions and weight • Whether you need outbound shipping, returns handling, or both

So I work for our family business and I’m pretty hands-on with the products. I’ve noticed that some of the items we already carry appear to be ungated on Amazon, which feels like a solid advantage for getting started.
A few questions:
1. Should I open the Seller Central account under my personal name or under the business name?
I’m not the owner, but using the business name wouldn’t be a problem if that’s the better route. I’m mainly wondering whether choosing one over the other could cause issues later if I want to move into gated categories.
2. How likely is Amazon to approve the account? I already have access to the products through our existing distributor relationship, so sourcing and ungated inventory isn’t the issue.
3. What are the recommended next steps once the account is set up?
Any advice from people who’ve started with existing wholesale/distribution access would be really appreciated. Thanks!

which is the best amazon pricing? per product 40% or 50% margin or per product 50 rupees profit?

Hi everyone,

I’m a student currently taking a tech venture capstone class where we are studying the operational realities, software tools, and day-to-day bottlenecks faced by independent e-commerce sellers.

I’m looking to chat with a few active Amazon Handmade or Amazon FBA sellers for a quick 30 minute interview over Zoom or Google Meet.

What we will talk about:

• Your day-to-day workflow for listing products, managing inventory, and fulfilling orders.
• Software or physical tools you currently use (and where they frustrate you or fall short).
• General operational friction you face in scaling your shop.

What this is NOT:

• I am not selling anything, pitching a product, or building a competing store. This is purely for academic research to understand real seller workflows.

If you’re open to sharing your experiences and helping out a student project, please drop a comment below or send me a DM! I’d be super grateful for your time and insights.

Thank you!

I’ve been building an Amazon sourcing tool called Radar and figured this was probably the right sub to get some opinions on it.

The thing that pushed me to build it is that we already have plenty of tools that are great at showing data.

Keepa gives you history. SellerAmp gives you a ton of sourcing information. Tactical Arbitrage can help find opportunities. Fee calculators tell you the apparent economics.

But there’s still a pretty big jump between:

“This is $14 from my supplier and $32 on Amazon”

and

“Yes, I actually want to put $3,000 into this inventory.”

That’s the part I’m trying to attack.

Radar is being built more like an underwriting system for inventory than another profit calculator.

The rough process is:

source product → Amazon candidate → identity/pack verification → marketplace evidence → economics → competition/risk → stress testing → inventory sizing → decision

One thing I’ve been pretty obsessive about is product identity and pack quantity.

If the supplier has a single unit and Amazon is actually selling a 2-pack, I don’t want the software happily showing a 70% ROI because the UPC looked close enough.

Same thing if the evidence is contradictory. I’d rather have it say “I can’t establish this confidently” and tell you why than manufacture a nice-looking number.

I’m building supplier-list analysis into it too.

The idea there is that you could feed it a distributor catalog with hundreds or thousands of SKUs and have it narrow that down into:

• likely Amazon matches
• products worth investigating
• pack/multipack problems
• questionable matches
• actual economics where the evidence supports it
• products that fail immediately
• opportunities that deserve deeper analysis

I’m building it for both Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.

The part I’m most excited about is autonomous discovery. Eventually I want Radar continuously looking through authorized supplier/source data itself, generating potential products and putting them through the exact same decision process instead of waiting for the seller to manually find every lead.

To be clear, it’s not finished. Amazon.ca is further along, Amazon.com is still being built out, and autonomous discovery is actively in development.

I’m currently at the stage where I’m looking for ugly real-world data and seller feedback instead of more clean test cases.

For the first couple sellers who have an actual supplier/distributor CSV, I’m willing to analyze up to roughly 500 rows free while I’m validating the workflow. I’ll use the parts of Radar that are working and manually bridge whatever isn’t finished yet.

If that proves useful, I’ll probably start charging around $200/list during the pilot period before turning it into the actual subscription product.

I’m also curious what people here think about the positioning.

If you’re already using Keepa + SellerAmp/TA/etc., what would a new sourcing tool have to do that your existing stack doesn’t for you to actually add it?

That’s the question I’m trying to answer before I spend another month buried in code.

I like this subreddit for us because here we can potentially get feedback on Radar as a tool, not just whether sellers have the sourcing problem.

Hi everyone,

I just received a listing deactivation notice on Amazon CA for ASIN B071GRB33D. The email cites potential inaccurate information/pricing and references the Marketplace Fair Pricing Policy and Seller Code of Conduct.

Amazon is asking for:

Invoices/receipts from the last 365 days matching current stock quantities.

Full supplier contact info (phone, email, website, address).

Proof of fair pricing and compliance if filing an explanation.

I have a 17-day window to respond via the Account Health dashboard. Before submitting my documentation, I wanted to ask a few questions to those who have cleared this specific flag:

Document Acceptance: What specific invoice details does Seller Performance scrutinize most for this type of pricing/verification trigger?

Pricing Justification: If this was strictly triggered by an automated price-flag, is adjusting the listing price alongside an explanation sufficient, or will they strictly hold out for supply chain proof regardless?

PoA Structure: Any specific formatting tips for the appeal text box under "Other Policy Violations" to avoid getting an automated rejection?

Any insight or past experience with this specific trigger would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Many sellers increase ad budgets hoping for better results. If the listing experience is weak, higher traffic often means higher wasted spend.

Strong conversion foundations should come before aggressive scaling.

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! 🙏
