New Amazon Seller Journey – Need Advice from Experienced Sellers

Hi everyone,I’m a new Amazon seller and currently learning the business step by step. Recently I purchased 2 products from a distributor to start testing.

One product finally became active after approval, but another product is asking for a minimum 100 quantity requirement which is difficult for me as a beginner.

The active product currently has the lowest price on the listing, but I still don’t have the Buy Box and haven’t received any sales for almost a week. I’m doing FBM for testing and trying to learn the process carefully before investing bigger.

At this point, I’m looking for:

  • simple ungated products

  • beginner-friendly categories

  • low complexity items

  • products suitable for FBM testing

If anyone has advice, experience, or guidance for a beginner seller, I would really appreciate it. Thank you everyone.

Ungated products available for amazon FBA wholesale direct source from brand and authorized distributors in USA and UK with low moq and high profit margin dm me.

Most Amazon wholesale sellers make one big mistake…

They try competing on products with 20+ sellers and razor-thin margins.

💡 The real opportunity is finding low-competition wholesale products with stable demand and healthy ROI.

Here’s what I look for before sourcing 👇

✅ Winning Wholesale Product Criteria:

• 2–8 active FBA sellers

• No Amazon on listing

• Consistent BSR history

• Minimum 25–30% ROI

• Strong monthly demand

• Brands with smaller seller competition

• Stable Buy Box rotation

🚫 Products I usually avoid:

❌ Amazon competing on listing

❌ Price tanking products

❌ 15+ FBA sellers

❌ Poor sales history

❌ Heavy or fragile items

📊 My wholesale product analysis includes:

✔ Seller count analysis

✔ Buy Box behavior

✔ Keepa chart review

✔ Profit calculation after fees

✔ Brand competition check

✔ Monthly sales estimation

The goal in Amazon Wholesale is NOT finding random “hot products”…

The goal is finding products where margins stay stable and competition stays low.

🔥 That’s how wholesale sellers build long-term profitable stores.

Some common ungated categories on Amazon for beginners include Home & Kitchen, Office Products, Pet Supplies, Sports & Outdoors, Patio & Garden, Industrial & Scientific (selected items), Tools & Home Improvement, Toys (outside holiday restrictions), and Cell Phone Accessories.

Many new sellers start with simple, low-risk FBM products like kitchen tools, storage items, desk accessories, phone accessories, cleaning tools, pet accessories, or lightweight home products because they usually have fewer approval requirements and lower upfront costs.

Amazon Wholesale is no longer an easy-entry model.

The system has evolved — and only professionals who truly understand compliance, sourcing, and brand requirements are surviving.

Today’s biggest challenges: • Valid invoices

• Brand approvals

• Reliable suppliers

• Account compliance

This is not a “quick profit” game anymore.

It’s a structured business that rewards knowledge, strategy, and execution.

If you treat it professionally, it works. If not, it rejects you.

I wasted 3 years on wholesale, there is no potential in the wholesale.

Amazon business is not for middle class persons, it’s for investors.

If you want to grow yourself start providing services, learn Amazon Private Label and work on them with the wholesale as well.

Try categories like toys & games, or Home & Kitchen for simple, ungated products look for low competition high demand items with easy inventory management.

You’re actually on the right track by starting small and testing first. For the Buy Box, Amazon also checks seller history, shipping speed, and account health not just price.

As a beginner, focus on ungated and low-risk categories like Home & Kitchen, Office, Pet Supplies, and Sports. Start with lightweight, low-competition products suitable for FBM testing. Stay consistent and scale slowly after getting some sales and reviews.
