Thanks everyone for watching! If you have any questions about selling books on Amazon please ask here and I'd love to make an update video helping you out!!
I do not understand how we can use this in Canada. You said yes, but did not explain how? I looked at your friends videos. He did end Studio IQ correct? I have not seen how this app can be used in Canada. Can you explain further. I was going to purchase but $44 USD is a lot of $$ in Canada for an app that is only good for the USA. This specific video does not seem organized or well thought out. There is a lot of confusion and jumping all over. Very challenging to understand completely prior to a purchase/subscription. I watch your videos regularly as do several of my business associates and employees. Please explain further. Us Canadians are often forgotten about. Meanwhile, many of us sell/operate various businesses in both countries. However, the majority of Canadians do not sell in the USA and never intend to in future. Please elaborate. Thank you.
Hello. I have a fulltime job and was just looking for a side hustle. Would selling used books on Amazon be worth it? I'm only looking to make maybe $200 a month.
QUESTION PUHLEEEEEZE! Love your videos and thank you for all!! Quick ?? - IF you have a 1,000 book limit, and you sell, maybe, 100 this month, does that mean the door is open to send in another 100? OR - is it 1,000 books A MONTH that can be sent in? Every time a book sells, does that then "open up that seat" for a new book to be listed??
I would love to do a TEAMS training. I've sourced books and figuring out the rest. It could be a virtual TEAMS training. I could go live while training with you.
It seems like Amazon is eating my profit...I have an individual account cuz I just started and I don't have many books but I chose to ship them myself by media mail which is cheaper but it looks like they charged me less in the professional account🤔 now I'm wondering if it's worth it at all😕 it feels like this is intentional... They take almost half your profit.... It's very upsetting
Recently, with EVERY book I scan, I get the message 'requires approval', the amazon seller support told me that I have to take care of the epr guidelines, but if I understood that correctly, you don't need that for used books at all... I'm extremely confused by now and can't continue working on the business. Need help pleeeease!
Hi there , new to the business. I've been getting alot of request approval on books , I get approved but then it goes away , I search the book again and it sends me to approval request again , I click on it and it says congratulations approved .. where do I go to re list it again after ?
I’ve heard part of the reason Amazon has implemented restock limits is due to them not being able to find enough people to hire. I’ve seen a lot of resellers that have started diversifying which I think is important.
Offically sold my 100th item via FBA, mostly retail arbitrage via clearance sections.. Moving on to Thrifting now, books, clothes etc way harder but always work to be done
I’ve been trying to get approval on certain books it says I’m approved then it just gives me an error message about being able to connect to the server any idea what I should do?
Thanks for mentioning that new approval block that Amazon now requires for some books. I was on a roll selling books then this came up and sometimes ends up being nearly a quarter to half of the books I source and list each week. I feel better now that I know that they’re not restricted and there’s a way to get those books approved. Your content is among the best out there!
I understand you would be limited, but will it for certain be to just books? What it's starting to sound like. Can you give examples of things you weren't gated on as a new seller. And is there a way to know other than, scan and find out.
Just signed up, and waiting for video call for id verification. When I first started the process, I clicked on "individual seller", and when I was filling out the paperwork it said I would be charged 39.99 a month. So If I'm not mistaking, they're making everyone sign-up that way, then you downgrade after your account is activated. I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like. Thanks for all the great info. Between subbing to you and Reezy, I'm sure I'll have all the info I need for a great start to selling on Amazon! thanks again!
so for someone just starting out , you still recommend paying two monthly subscriptions costing over $70. how can we see if its worth it without diving in and having to pay that $70
One thing I’ve been wondering about - I’ve had my FBA account for a few months now and I only sell books…How do guys feel about other FBA sellers pricing their books WAY cheaper than the next most expensive one (ie dragging the price way down). I’ve noticed many listing them lower than the estimated FBA fee, as in it will cost them money to sell it. I can’t understand why they would do it, other than desperation to get it out of their inventory. Or maybe they don’t understand how to price 🤔
It is extemely annoying and common, and with amazons new liquidation option it realy dosen't make sense to price below amazons fees to get it out of your inventory. Just liquidate it.
Yea I just started and sometimes i get an email saying my book is no longer the lowest price and I look to see the lowest price is way too low so that means I won't sell my book because others drove the price down. So annoying...
I’m scanning a lot of books right now and for some reason there are two different listings for the same book. One of them says requires approval in silver and the other doesn’t. Does anyone know why this is and what it means?
No. If you sell 40 or more items, you should opt for the professional account since you pay 1 dollar per item otherwise. Keep in mind that registering a business early will be easier to scale later.
Im sorry but this question is not related to the video. But Im guessing someone may have a helpful answer for me. I send in 100 books fba. Amazon starts receiving the inventory. Then they end up saying the process is complete 91 out of 100 items checked in? What the heck happened to the other 9 books? I cant find an answer to this anywhere. Anyone steer me in the right direction?
How long does it take to be "used buy box eligible" in 2021? I'm 30 days in, pro account. Sent 300+ books fba all 1 mil rank or less. I'm buy box eligible for new products so I don't understand it. Waiting to be eligible for books is brutal doing less than 1 sale a day with perfect pricing. I don't think they used to make people wait like this for used books.
@Raeven Holley-Perry Nope. I also noticed that even though the books are listed as prime the displayed shipping time is no longer 2 days and hasn't been the whole time that I have been selling not just because of the holidays. So basically Amazon is slowly removing the reason people pay more to get it prime (this is on used books only). Why would they pay more for prime when it takes 5-10 days to come, buying from a merchant fulfilled seller for cheaper makes more sense. I am liquidating my inventory now and cutting my losses. This is dying business. Wish I wouldn't have wasted my time and got sucked into as a side hustle because of youtube. I spent 2k and have a roster of the best ranked books on Amazon, it is still a complete waste of time without the buy box. If you sell ANYTHING else that is new you automatically get the buy box if you want to do Amazon pick anything besides books.

Another great video Steve! Always enjoy these.
I live in CT are you still doing this?
I would like to know, if ScoutIQ is available in Canada?

Yessir
Is this only good for USA? I am in canada
You can do it in Canada. I know a lot of people from there doing it!
How?

Can't begin to tell you how excited I am for this. Gonna take my business to a "whole 'nutha level".
Offically sold my 100th item via FBA, mostly retail arbitrage via clearance sections.. Moving on to Thrifting now, books, clothes etc way harder but always work to be done
Thank you for doing the basics and walking me through. Calming some start up anxiety.
I’ve been trying to get approval on certain books it says I’m approved then it just gives me an error message about being able to connect to the server any idea what I should do?
same here dude! really frustrating
Same here!

I am in the same boat. Merchant is the way to go. Better early on for me as I can pivot before I had substantial inventory in FBA.
I heard you use scoutiq...what do you think of scoutly?
Whats a good sale rank for books average ?
Exactly
I just have 10 books to sell to Amazon (FBA), how much is seller’s fee and how much % do Amazon make if I sell it to them ^.
One thing I’ve been wondering about - I’ve had my FBA account for a few months now and I only sell books…How do guys feel about other FBA sellers pricing their books WAY cheaper than the next most expensive one (ie dragging the price way down).

buy them out
Bad ad in the middle of this. The bloke's bad news in property circles.
Good I’m thinking about selling books on Amazon. Been thinking about your course do you have one ?
I have submitted my application and am praying for the chance please please pick me (shameless plug🙃)!!
I’m scanning a lot of books right now and for some reason there are two different listings for the same book. One of them says requires approval in silver and the other doesn’t. Does anyone know why this is and what it means?
Do you need to be a business to sell on Amazon? I went to sign up and it said you would be restricted if you are not.
No. If you sell 40 or more items, you should opt for the professional account since you pay 1 dollar per item otherwise. Keep in mind that registering a business early will be easier to scale later.
You are a wealth of knowledge.
Do you have any videos on how to source these books? Thanks!
If you sent books to Amazon and it sits there to long can you request to have it sent back to you’re house ?
How can we sell restricted books ?
Hey Steve. Always look forward to your videos and your positive energy.
Hey Sunshine!! Appreciate you!! Let me know if you have any questions and I'd love to help!
What’s ‘forever’ in a time frame?
Thank you so much for the information...

Lost? damaged? Tukken
Hey man do you list as new or used?
Is that Mantle on your wall?
Are you going to do another 1 on 1 coaching? I live in CT
Great info as always Steve! Would love to get into selling books someday on Amazon.
Appreciate you!
Is ScoutIQ just for books? If so is there another app for clothes and shoes? Thanks
Thanks!
Your account is still locked at 1000 you said? I don't get that part
I never hold a lot of inventory in my reselling Amazon account. I usually only have less than 500 items.
what's the name of the scanner that you use? You said it so quickly that I didn't catch the name! Thanks
Here ya go raikenprofit.com/scanner
Hello. Thank you for explaining the opinion and inventory
Glad it was helpful!
When scanning how do I know if it is restricted or not?
This Lady on Tiktok actually went to the Dollar store and bought books bc the app said it would make a $10 profit, now is that true?
you saw the video so you tell us
@@Xbot4Life now it ain’t relevant bc it’s not called the 1$ store
@@WSTSIDE_ cool cool
Thank you for explaining inventory info it was very helpful🙂
My pleasure!
