I found a few products on Amazon that I can sell on another listing on Amazon.
A few of the products are shipped and sold by Amazon, so logically, this shouldn’t be a problem since I’m buying directly from Amazon, right?
Or is the issue here that I might be breaching another policy?
One of the products is sold by a third-party FBA seller, perhaps it’s better to skip this one?
I’d appreciate your help!
I do Amazon flipping, and there’s nothing wrong with buying from Amazon itself as long as you’re not using a Prime account. Personally, I also buy from third-party sellers, provided they are established wholesalers or retailers.
If you’re buying products directly from Amazon or from a third-party FBA seller, it’s not an issue as long as you’re not violating Amazon’s policies regarding reselling or authenticity. However, if the product is sold by a third-party seller, you should ensure it’s legitimate and complies with Amazon’s supply chain verification rules. It’s best to avoid any products that could raise concerns about the source to prevent policy violations.
I wouldn’t recommend buying stock from a third-party seller and flipping it back on Amazon. A more sustainable approach would be to purchase items directly from Amazon during sales and sell them later when the price increases.
The fact that a third-party seller is able to sell at a significantly lower price than Amazon raises a red flag. It seems like you might need more guidance on how this process works. I’d suggest watching more YouTube videos or checking the Amazon Seller University, where you can receive proper guidance and learn to build a sustainable business.
Good luck!
Yes, that’s why I think it’s better to avoid third-party FBA sellers and stick to items shipped and sold by Amazon. I’m not sure whether I need to use a regular customer account or my business account.
In case you ship from the UK to the US, do you mind sharing whether you work directly with major carriers like UPS or FedEx, or if you use Amazon partner carriers? I’m wondering which option will offer better prices.
There are no issues with purchasing from Amazon (whether sold by Amazon or third parties) and reselling on Amazon, provided that Prime is not used for shipping and the offer listing complies with Amazon’s policies. Amazon provides invoices and does not reject its own invoices, even if the seller is a third party.
Never ever do that, in long run your listings and account will be at risk of deactivation. I have seen numerous cases previously, in which seller did the same, and account got deactivated under section 3 seller code of conduct.
Reselling products purchased on Amazon on another Amazon listing can violate policies, even if they are shipped and sold by Amazon. Retail receipts may not be accepted as proof of authenticity, and third-party FBA products pose higher risks due to potential sourcing issues.
Creating duplicate listings, misrepresenting product conditions, or selling branded items without authorization could lead to policy violations.
To stay compliant, source products from authorized suppliers, ensure authenticity with proper documentation, and avoid risky retail arbitrage within Amazon.
