What do you need to start FBA?

What type of products are necessary to start sending things into Amazon, such as a scale, barcode printer? Things of that nature… any help is appreciated. Very new to all of this. Want to be set up right.

Hello @jeek1314,

What type of products are necessary to start sending things into Amazon.

Products you are authorized to sell, and those that will sell.

scale, barcode printer? Things of that nature…

Yes, yes, and yes. Eventually, you will need a scale, printer, shipping boxes, tape, packaging materials, etc, etc.

But you are far from needing those. Right now you need to take all Seller University modules that pertain to FBA, read all the FBA policies, requirements, features, services, and fees.

The FBA platform is very complex. If you don’t know what you are doing, things can go down very quickly.

Get started with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)

Thank you @FunkyMonkey

You are very welcome @jeek1314

Best wishes…

Hi, actually, you don’t even need any extra stuff.

You can either have your supplier ship straight into FBA or use a pre center.

But as @FunkyMonkey says, have a look at the policies.

No, you don’t need to setup your own warehouse. Most sellers are doing as @Jacob12 mentioned and have their supplier send straight into FBA for them :slight_smile:

To get started with sending products to Amazon for FBA Seller, you’ll need a few essential items to ensure everything runs smoothly. A digital scale is crucial for accurately weighing your products and shipments, and a barcode printer is necessary for creating labels for your products, which Amazon uses to track and manage your inventory. Additionally, you’ll need label paper for printing these barcodes, high-quality shipping boxes to protect your products during transit, packing tape to secure your boxes, and cushioning materials like bubble wrap or packing peanuts to prevent damage. Having these tools and materials will help you set up your FBA process correctly from the beginning.
