What Is An FBA Business?

An FBA business, or Fulfillment By Amazon business, is an eCommerce store that’s set up through Amazon. Operating an FBA business can help with product listing, storage, and shipping.The idea is that with an FBA business, Amazon will help with listing on their massive eCommerce platform, hold onto your product inventory, and ship the products out from their warehouses once the product has been sold.In 2021, 56% of Amazon sellers were third-party sellers according to Statista, and profits from third-party sellers grew by 34% in the second quarter. This means that there’s money to be made on this platform and sellers can get in on the action pretty easily.Amazon lays out really easy-to-follow instructions for sellers to get started. You can check it out below.[caption id="attachment_8727" align="aligncenter" width="666"]

These will provide the most returns as you’re filling a gap in the market.Something interesting to look into to take it a step further are private label products. These are going to be the products that have the highest profit margin. These are products that already exist that get changed a little bit, rebranded, then listed to be sold.If you’re looking to find the best returns, the private label approach will be the best FBA business strategy for sure.The key difference between an FBA business and one that does drop shipping is whether or not the seller buys the merchandise. With an FBA business, the seller needs to buy all the merchandise, then ship it to an Amazon warehouse where it gets stored until the product’s bought and shipped to the customer.An example of companies that do drop shipping are Teespring and Threadless. They’re both print-on-demand (POD) dropshipping companies where the seller doesn’t do anything but set up the online store and direct traffic to purchase the products off the website. The dropshipping company then does everything from printing to shipping without any money out-of-pocket from the seller. The seller simply collects their cut of the sale after the product is purchased.
