Find Better, Faster Selling Amazon FBA Inventory

April 27, 2016 By Stephen Smotherman 1 Comment

Has this ever happened to you? You go sourcing for inventory to sell on Amazon and find some good stuff… I mean, the prices are good, the sales rank is good, but once you finally get these items to Amazon, the prices for many have either tanked, or they just never sell. You check in

April 6, 2016 By Rebecca Smotherman 13 Comments

  Like we said in our last blog post, there seems to be a huge debate among Amazon FBA sellers about whether to use the Amazon Seller app for sourcing inventory or whether to pay for a third-party scanning app. Check out the comments on that post to see that some people feel pretty strongly

Overcoming Your Fear of Going Deep on Inventory Items

December 1, 2015 By Rebecca Smotherman 1 Comment

“Should I go deep on this item?” “How deep should I go on this item?” “What does it mean to ‘go deep’ on an item?” These are all questions we get on a regular basis, whether in blog comments, in the Full-Time FBA Facebook group, or on our YouTube channel. One of the universal fears

Overcoming Your Fear of Selling Oversize

November 5, 2015 By Rebecca Smotherman 4 Comments

Raise your hand if this has happened to you before (don’t worry, none of us can see you sitting there at your computer). You’re out doing some sourcing, and you scan an item with your Amazon Seller app. The rank is good, and the return on investment (ROI) is decent. You buy the item (or

Overcoming Your Fear of Negotiating a Better Deal

November 3, 2015 By Stephen Smotherman 10 Comments

Have you ever found yourself frustrated after you go into a store, find a lot of items with great sales ranks, only to find the clearance or sale prices are just not low enough to make it worth reselling? Or maybe you’ve been at a garage sale, and the seller has their items priced way too high. If only you could get an additional

Overcoming Your Fear of “Tanking” Prices

October 27, 2015 By Stephen Smotherman 29 Comments

It seems to happen far too frequently. You buy an item (or multiples of an item), price it just right, send it to Amazon… and your competition starts to lower their prices. What once was selling for $29.99 is now selling for $15.99 only a week or so later. What happened? Why would someone want

Overcoming Your Fear of Selling Used Items on Amazon

October 19, 2015 By Stephen Smotherman 31 Comments

I’ve heard it many times before, both online and in person: “Selling new items on Amazon is easier.” “Selling new items on Amazon is much safer than selling used items.” “Does Amazon even allow me to sell used items?” “Selling used items on Amazon is a pain. It’s not worth my time.” “Isn’t it easier

Today’s post comes from Stephen’s wife, Rebecca, who works alongside Stephen in their full-time FBA business.
