I am interested in opening a seller account on amazon US, bit, as far as I know, non-US citizens cannot have a seller account there. Is this true? If yes, would you mind sharing your method of obtaining your account? Also, I've heard there amazon is putting all new sellers in some sort of review phase for 2 weeks. Have you experienced this? How did you handle it? The last question: Is it true that you need to hold an amount of money into your account in order to be able to handle the refunds of your product? If you are doing this, how much money are you blocking into your account? How many refunds would they cover? thanks a lot and good luck with your journey.

Hi Martin Good luck bro, I'm in the same journey. Know little things about Amazon, but I got some questions. Why you use Payoneer? I thought that UK based bank account will do for selling on Amazon? I now consider to set up LLC to get US bank account and US mail & address. You said you order your item for private labeling from Alibaba? Man, they're not manufacturer but just middlemen. IMHO, you better go with made-in-china.com (not madeinchina.com). I know nothing about importing goods into US. I'm at Indonesia. How about your shipping rate using USPS, compare than if you're using forwarding services? I used forwarding service for importing goods from China and couldn't be more happier. How much your total cost for using FBA? Can you share the info? Some people compare it with other fulfillment services like shipwire or rubyhas. But I heard lot of bad things about shipwire. God bless you, bro.
i hope this thread is not TOO old and you still active here with your FBA.
I have one question:
You live in the UK, but you send your products from your Alibaba merch to a Amazon warehouse in the USA - so they sell in the USA?
that's smart, because i did not knew this work too. I am from Germany and willing to learn about the FBA
tryna quiet my fulltime Job and spent more time with my family too, like helping my parents which are getting older and older...

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm in the uk so have the choice of using Amazon uk for FBA, which will include most of Europe, or using Amazon USA. I'm nervous about using usa because of just the type of problem then OP had. USA is big, but tends to be more saturated.

To all of who have launch a succesfull and profitable amazon affiliate website and/or have experience in this regard how much would you say on average you will have to spend in order to launch and maintain the site till it rank on page 1 assuming its a low competitor keyword and you outsource the content and some of the linkbuilding? Lets say to sustain the site and keep it active for at least 6 months?
Any updates?Welcome to my First Journey. [h=2]Amazon FBA Journey to.....Freedom[/h]
FBA - Fulfillment by Amazon.
I will not go into the details what is FBA here is how it works in simple steps:
- You send your products to Amazon (Merchant will ship my product straight to the Amazon warehouse in USA)
- Amazon stores your products.
- Customers order your products.
- Amazon picks and packs your products.
- Amazon ships your products. (Amazon will pay me to Payoneer bank account).
Straight to the point.
Almost 2 month back I sold my adsense website for $3k
What I have done in these two month:
- Founded bestseller product in Amazon.
- Founded Merchant in Alibaba.
- Ordered sample product.
- Bought Logo design (will Label my product)
- Bought UPC bar-code
- Created graphic for printable box and paid 30% deposit for merchant that printing can be started.
- DIY photo studio at home, see picture
View attachment 52777
8. Bought 3 domains - one for my brand, second with my keyword combination and third with exact match keywords in domain from my niche with 6k searches.
9. Work on my product pictures and on the websites - graphic, content and backlinks.
Now I have paid all the rest 70% payment for my product and tomorrow the goods will be shipped to Amazon warehouse. Finally
Meanwhile I will work on my product pictures and will prepare content that I will need to advertise my product.
Total investments so far - 1595 usd + time
I've spent a lot of prayers about my life and about things how to do them the right way, Yes I believe in Jesus and he gives me the meaning of life and freedom. I want to quit my 8 to 5 job and spend more time with family and want to help others - I believe it will happen very soon
Psalm 37:34 "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
I will share here my experience with FBA and I hope this journey will help someone to find freedom. So if you have questions - fell free and ask here
God will help us...
Thanks
