    Hi, looking to start this. Can you explain for beginner what process you actually go through? Thanks

      Easy way to start, get an eBay account, go to stores like these type them into eBay or scan. If it’s selling a decent amount for a good price where you’ll make profit. Buy the lot and wack them on eBay, take a little time to get good pictures, good title, good description etc… and send off once sold

    Pretty sure the brand un-gating is based on the age of your account. I sold 25 items in 2016 and now in 2022 I get approved for all the Brands I apply for.. It does not make any sense but it made me jump right back in on FBA. Keep it up!

      It’s called getting the buy box and often a repricer helps with it. Location price and age of account comes to play

    How do tackle price tanking? Do you set a minimum ROI in repricer? If yes, what would be your minimum ROI you would go down to the max? Because I see you buying items making only 30-40% ROI but price tanking would drop that to 5-10%
