In today’s fast-paced e-commerce world, online arbitrage is becoming increasingly popular among entrepreneurs who are looking to make a profit by buying and selling products online. The process involves finding products at a lower price on one platform and then selling them for a higher price on another platform, such as Amazon. While online arbitrage can be lucrative, it requires a strategic approach and careful planning to maximize profits. Here are some tips for maximizing profits through Amazon online arbitrage.

Research the Market

Before you start buying and selling products, you need to research the market to find the best products to sell. Utilize tools such as CamelCamelCamel, Keepa, and Jungle Scout to track product prices and find the best deals. Consider the demand for the product, the price difference between platforms, and the cost of shipping and handling when making your decision. It’s important to keep an eye on current trends and popular products in your target market to ensure that you are sourcing products that will sell quickly.

Negotiate with Suppliers

One of the keys to maximizing profits through Amazon online arbitrage is to negotiate with your suppliers for better prices. Contact suppliers directly and ask for bulk discounts or exclusive deals to help you get lower prices on the products you want to sell. If you plan to source a large volume of products from a particular supplier, consider negotiating a long-term contract with a discount or special pricing.

Stay Up-to-Date with Amazon Policies

Amazon has strict policies that online arbitrage sellers need to follow, so it’s important to stay up-to-date with their policies to avoid any penalties or suspensions. Make sure that you are aware of Amazon’s prohibited items policy and that all of your products comply Additionally, ensure that your products are properly labeled and shipped in a promptlyaintain customer satisfaction.

Utilize Automation Tools

Online arbitrage can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, so consider utilizing automation tools to streamline your operations and maximize efficiency. Tools such as Tactical Arbitrage, BQool, and RepricerExpress can help automate the sourcing and selling process, freeing up more time for you to focus on other aspects of your business.

In conclusion, online arbitrage can be a lucrative business opportunity for those who are willing to put in the time and effort to find the right products and source them strategically. Following these tips can maximize your profits and build a successful Amazon online arbitrage business. Remember to stay up-to-date with Amazon policies, optimize your listings, and utilize automation tools to streamline your operations and increase efficiency.

on

Today, Amazon e-mailed their third party sellers to promote a new service called Amazon Global Logistics (AGL) aimed to offer reasonably priced shipments.

According to the announcement, Amazon Global Logistics (AGL) offers FBA Sellers end-to-end shipping services via ocean transportation options from CN into EU and US fulfilment centres and/or SPs’ own warehouses that can be conveniently booked through Seller Central or Shipper Central. AGL shipping services includes shipment pick-up in origin, palletization (if required), export/import customs clearance, and domestic delivery in the destination country.

Important update regarding your Amazon FBA inventory at AFW1

Kika Angelic

Published

on

This week, Amazon e-mailed their third party sellers regarding FBA inventory stored in the AFW1 warehouse, which was damaged due to severe weather causing structural damage to that facility, forcing it to close. It is expected to remain closed until at least the end of April 2023.

According to the notice, Amazon will be soon reimbursing sellers for any lost and damaged inventory, adjusting their IPI Score or refunding storage fees.

Here you can read a copy of the full announcement:

Important update regarding your inventory at AFW1

Hello, 

Our records indicate that you have inventory at, or on the way to, our AFW1 fulfillment center. On December 13, 2022, severe weather caused structural damage to that facility and we were forced to close. We expect to remain closed until at least the end of April 2023. We understand this has affected your business and will work to provide the most up-to-date information. 

Below are other important updates for your inventory stored at AFW1. 

   1. While AFW1 is closed, we are unable to fulfill customer orders with inventory stored there. Once AFW1 is operational again, we will evaluate the condition of your inventory to determine if it is sellable. We expect the fulfillment center to remain closed until at least the end of April 2023 and will communicate further details on sellable inventory as we know more in the coming weeks. Inventory will be evaluated based on the inventory adjustments policy (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/external/G200453260). If you don’t agree with the Amazon valuation of a unit, you can file a claim using the Contact Us page in Seller Central within 90 days after we issue the reimbursement. If we determine your inventory was damaged by this incident, we will reimburse you per our FBA inventory reimbursement policy (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/external/G200213130). You will be able to track your refund by accessing your Reimbursements report (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/reportcentral/REIMBURSEMENTS/0).

   2. We will refund the storage fees for any inventory affected by this closure. Storage fees from December and January will be reimbursed by March 15. You may see storage fees associated with affected inventory from February-April, which will be refunded on a monthly basis until AFW1 is operational. 

   3. For shipments already sent to AFW1, Amazon will continue to redirect them to a nearby fulfillment center at our cost. 

   4. For any inventory that has been redirected or is currently available in other fulfillment centers, those listings will remain sellable and we will fulfill customer orders with the available units. Any new shipments will go to a fulfillment center that can currently fulfill customer orders. If stranded inventory impacted your ability to sell, we will contact you with additional information and details. 

   5. If your Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score is being affected by this closure, we will ensure your capacity limit is not negatively affected and will allow you extra capacity if necessary, beginning now and for at least 13 weeks after AFW1 is reopened. We’re aware that the stranded inventory can impact your IPI score and this incident was out of your control. We will share further details in the coming weeks to help navigate this situation.

Action requested: If you have created shipments planned for AFW1, but have not sent them yet, please delete these shipments and re-create them. A new shipping destination will be automatically assigned during the creation of the new shipment.

For additional details, go to “FAQ for the AFW1 closure”:
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/external/G5HFTYE2FWA3N7G6

We are still actively investigating this incident and will update this page and share more details with impacted sellers as we have more information. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding and patience.

Impact of negative Product Reviews on your Amazon business

Kika Angelic

Published

on

Negative feedback is something that every business will experience at some point, and it can have a significant impact on product sales. When customers leave negative product reviews, it can be discouraging for business owners and employees, and it can also turn potential customers away. In this article, I will explore the impact that negative feedback can have on product sales.

Decreased Trust

Negative product reviews can decrease the trust that customers have in a product or an entire brand. If a customer sees negative feedback about a product, they may begin to question whether the product is worth buying. If they don’t trust a product, they are less likely to make a purchase.

Brand Damage

Negative product reviews can damage a brand’s reputation. When customers leave them, they can be seen by potential customers who are researching the product. If there is a pattern of negative comments, it can make a brand look unreliable, untrustworthy, or low-quality. Brand damage can be difficult to overcome, and it can have a long-lasting impact on sales.

Increased Customer Returns

Negative product reviews can lead to increased customer returns. If customers purchase a product in a hurry and then go through the reviews, they may choose to return the product for a refund or exchange. This can be costly for businesses, as they may need to absorb the cost of the return or exchange, as well as the cost of shipping.

Customer Loss

Negative product reviews can lead to the loss of customers. If a customer has a negative experience with a product, they may choose to take their business elsewhere. Additionally, if a customer sees negative comments about a product, they may be less likely to purchase from the brand again in the future. Losing customers can have a significant impact on sales, as it is more expensive to acquire new customers than to retain existing ones.

How to remove unwarranted product reviews on Amazon?

Here you can review the Amazon Community Guidelines:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201929730

If you believe that the review violates them, go into “Contact us” – “Products and inventory” and “Product reviews”.

Here you can submit a removal request which will take a few days to get reviewed.

Conclusion

Negative product reviews can have a significant impact on product sales. They can decrease trust, reduce sales, damage a brand’s reputation, increase returns, and lead to the loss of customers. To minimize the impact of negative comments on sales, businesses should focus on providing high-quality products and excellent customer service. Additionally, businesses should take negative feedback seriously and use it as an opportunity to improve their products and processes.
