What is wholesale selling on Amazon?

Wholesale selling refers to buying products in bulk from a supplier at wholesale prices to resell at a retail price on Amazon. This allows sellers to maximize profit margins.

What are the benefits of Amazon wholesale?

Benefits include increased profit margins from bulk pricing, reaching Amazon's large customer base, and boosted sales from Prime shipping eligibility.

How do I find wholesale suppliers?

Use supplier directories, visit trade shows, or source manufacturers directly. Vet all suppliers thoroughly based on pricing, quality, reliability, and product range before ordering.

What makes a good Amazon wholesale product?

Good wholesale products have steady demand, reasonable shipping costs, and enough profit margin to compete with other sellers. Avoid oversaturated niches.

How much inventory should I order?

Take into account your available storage space, capital, and sales velocity projections to determine optimal order quantities. Start small to test demand.

Should I use FBA or self-fulfillment?

FBA makes sense for most sellers as Amazon handles storage, shipping, and customer service. But self-fulfillment may be better if products are large or heavy.

How do I stand out from the competition?

Focus on excellent listing content with high-quality images, optimize titles and back-end keywords, promote listings, and provide top-rated customer service.

What common mistakes should I avoid?

Don't overpay suppliers, stock too much dead inventory, neglect accounting & taxes, or fail to reinvest profits into growth.
