Hi, I am also planning to start selling products from china on amazon. There is an IM product out there (which I am not promoting or anything, I'm not buying as its too expensive) Amazon selling machine (google it) and the videos to sell you the course do go into loads of detail about the steps you should take. I recommend watching them, it will really help. Please let me know how you get on OP and anyone who is doing this, would be great to share experience etc.

Never tried selling the same stuff other people are selling, so I can't speak on that.
Selling on Amazon has helped me HUGE with one of a kind stuff though. If you are (or are working with) a person or company that makes or private labels something, list it on there for 8-12% more than you actually want to sell it for.
If the product is right and the price is on the high end of reasonable, people will google the product name and find it on your own site cheaper and buy direct.
It won't be a LOT of people, and this should be considered only a supplement to your other marketing activities. But if you can get your hands on stuff that you can brand with a unique product name, I will tell you this. Google LOVES it when people type the name of YOUR product in and then go to your site and actually buy it. It doesn't have to be a lot, because most people get none of that unless they're the big boys.
Edit to add: If you give Amazon the same description you have on your own site, Amazon will outrank you a lot of the time. Not necessarily the worst thing in the world, but make an informed decision.
