FBA warehouse question

I've been an ebay dropshipper for over 4 years but sales are slow (consistent but slow) and I'm having a lot of "out of stock" problems (the number 1 problem for droshippers).

I know of the products I want to buy in bulk and know they will sell but I don't know where I can store them. I've heard of Amazon FBA obviously but I have no experience with selling on that site. I do have an Amazon prime membership because I was mainly trying to dropship products on Amazon to my ebay, but now I really want to get an FBA warehouse and store some of the products I want to buy in bulk because they go out of stock a lot.

How do I get started? Do I need to first apply to become an Amazon seller and be approved? Then after you get approved are you able to get a warehouse for storing items?

Ebay was going to start a fulfillment service as well i think ( link ), not sure when they're launching it though.

For FBA: yes, you need to create an amazon seller account (checkout this page - everything you need is there)

Buy a course or check the "Downloads" section. There's a lot more that goes into the FBA model than what you mentioned here, things that might cause you unnecessary spending due to inexperience in the field.
