There are actually a couple of good tips in the post.
I am just shocked it came from OP, no offense Mate but where did you copy/paste from?

thanks man ... yeah you will be needing some money to invest to buy bulk products from whole seller and then ship it to amazon ware house to avoid shipping hassle ;)

Did you totally re-brand the product with new packaging or just a white-label product with your brand name in the title/description?
 
Some good info you shared, thanks, op. Will have to look into this some more.
 
Very interesting post OP, it is indeed very hard to sell on amazon and ebay these days due to the endless list of suppliers. I love your review method, it is bound to increase customer satisfaction and in return you get a positive review, it's a win win.

When you say re branding the product, how do you exactly do that? If you could write a small summary in the form of bullet points that would be really helpful.

Thanks again.

I am wondering this as well

OK, some good points.

I haven't sold any physical products on Amazon and it is something I am considering.

So do you have any other ranking factors for the buy box?


I would also advise not requesting "thanks" in future threads as a lot of people won't now, even though the information is good/useful.

I have sold over 500k worth of physical products on amazon. The ranking factor is similar to the ground shell method. 6-7% sales to feedback volume. Meeting 100% seller standards , consistently providing customer service. <1% order defect rate and a low return rate will win get you the buy box ... but if you send your shipment to FBA you will get buy box instantly :)

I think the OP is following the amazing selling machine as they advice Private label products.
Ranking on amazon is tough and there are several twists and loop holes that nobody talks about.
But the ground shell method works best :)
 
So just by branding my products they will appear as separate listings? For example I am selling white foam cups, if I list them as white foam cups they will fall under the general category but if I brand them they will appear as a separate listing all together?

By branding your products you will not attract unnecessary competition.
If you are selling white foam cups and your brand name is Deadjoe.
your listing will appear in the genral category as " deadjoe white foam cups"

now lets say you manged to rank on first page for your keyword. and you are sourcing the cups from a supplier who is selling the same cups to other buyers also.
Lets assume i bought the cups from your supplier and i go on amazon and see your listing i can easily click on "sell yours" link as i have the same design and the customers will have no problem. But if your cups are branded i cannot sell them else you can sue me :)

Most people like to do work with the least amount of effort since life is supposed to be easy and effortless. Conscious effort only serves to work against what you are trying to achieve.
 
Good advice OP. My father partnered with his friend who hascontacts in China and Asia and they are looking to get some stuff manufactured there to resell here in the local market. I already seen the prototype and it seems easy enough to sell. I'm going to see who is better at marketing since my dad is one of those old school- sell in brick and mortar shops (I remember when I was younger he had me and my sister doing all the packaging for his products, little did I know...), and doesn't have much in depth knowledge of selling online.

Is there any minimum quantity that amazon requires you to ship to them or to be in stock at any given time? I probably have about two to three months to prepare before the actual product comes out.
 
I haven't sold any physical products on Amazon and it is something I am considering.

I will help you. I know selling on Amazon like the back of my hand and know many of their secrets due to inside information that I won't go into here. PM me if you want me to help you. All free of course because you're my friend.
