    I'm a 30 year old guy who JUST learned about retail arbitrage a few hours ago from a customer at the Starbucks I work at. There is no RUclipsr I've found who is this thorough, this precise, AND will link to other videos with more detailed instructions.
    Oh yeah, and... my girlfriend and I have three cats. Play fighting is all day every day here. At least yours play fight during the day. Mine do it at 2am when I have to be at work at 5am.

    I have never looked into selling on Amazon in anyway before but after watching this video I realized that I have to give it a try because I just found out that I'm going to be a first time father... I have less than 9 months to figure something out and look forward to checking out all the videos on here.

      Well I never actually got started on the Amazon selling and whatnot but I did do some deliveries for Amazon. I found a lot of extra work from running a puppy and dog rescue to woodworking and furniture repair and refinishing. My son just turned 1 and is happy and healthy so life is good 😊

    One somewhat essential tip for RA shopping at Walmart. Put the Walmart app on your phone, in the particular store you are in, and scan the item with that, before you scan with the Amazon app. reason? Every Walmart store has many items on secret or hidden clearance, and they will ring up for less than the Walmart tag price. This a "semi=profitable RA FBA buy might be really profitable for you if the actual cash register price at Walmart id many dollars less then the tag shows.

    • @jeannepaul3898
      @jeannepaul3898 Год назад +2

      I couldn’t agree more!! I was verified last night and was told that once I got my confirmation email, I would be able to login to my seller app and start scanning. Well that sure hasn’t happened. Now it’s telling me I have to wait a couple weeks for a postcard to verify my address. So here I sit and there is zero help from Amazon. I was so excited but it quickly turned to frustration. At no east this sweet girl goes through every step and makes sense of everything. Everyone else I watch is trying to get to private let or create your own product. I just want to do retail arbitrage and get a feel for it. Good luck to you!

    Why do you wait to send items in? Wouldn’t the profitability potentially change while you’re waiting to source other items to send in? And you can’t sell it until it reaches the warehouse right? Also, how do you calculate shippings costs. I’m having the worst time factoring that when sourcing. Do I add shipping to every item?

    Just curious, if you find a product you like and its selling well will you buy all of the stock from the store? And would it be better to do FBM if you're not buying in bulk?(Less than say 25 units of the same product) Also how are you getting your product to sell with no reviews on amazon or anything

    Great information! Thank you. I am selling clothes for the first time. What do you do with the Walmart price tags on clothes?

    Curious to know - about how much time a week or month are you spending on this?

    What do you do if you are gated in a larger quantity and not the other? Do you just sell the one you are ungated in and leave the other alone? Love your content.

    This is amazing thank you so much for the video I'm from the UK and will be starting soon, just really want to know more about the Tax if amazon will do it automatically or if I need to do it and tell the government.

    Hello thank you for your video. Is there a Rank List by Category available? How long does it take for the Sellers Account to be Approved? Thanks for any insight
