Since you are a new seller doing FBA, you will firstly need to carefully review all Amazon help files, which include detailed instructions, videos and guidelines concerning every step of the process.
Start with the general FBA help page:

In addition to the helpful advice by @Faraz97”, here is a Seller University help page regarding FBA:
Regarding the products, research whether they don’t violate anyone’s intellectual property rights and be prepared that Amazon may request you to provide them valid invoices to verify the authenticity of your inventory anytime, without any prior complaints from customers.
Chinese invoices are rarely accepted, that’s why it would be better to start with some products purchased from EU/US manufacturer’s instead, until you establish a selling history and learn how the entire site works.
