    I started retail arbitrage this week and listed about $700 dollars in various goods. I was so excited I uploaded fbm. I just got my first sale within 24hrs. I wasnt even going to buy the item I did. Now I am freaking out and excited!!!
    You can tell because it's 3am and I dont think i am going back to sleep. My label printer doesn't even arrive until today or I would already be up.

    Omg u live in a fifth wheel and sell e-commerce. This is my dream life. You are literally living my dream. I was a working professional actor in Hollywood until 2016. It was then that I gave my life to Christ and now in 2020 I am praying for God to move me out of LA, and my wife and I want to move to Arizona and live a simple life out there where people do t bother us. Sorry I am just getting started with e commerce so I’m watching instructional videos, and saw u were in a fifth wheel and got excited lol

    Hi, Great content as always! I just started my FBA account after 20 years selling full-time on other platforms. One question about packing fba shipments... I have 120 similar smaller items in various colors. So if I have 30 items of each sku, am I allowed to separate the different colors into different baggies then putting in the same FBA box? each item has their own asin code but wasnt sure if this was allowed, but I feel throwing all 120 items loose in the box would be a nightmare for fba. Thanks! Dave

    Hi There! This is an awesome video like all of your videos are. The one thing I am unable to locate anywhere with experienced FBA sellers who are doing excellent videos such as yours is which specific categories are GATED so I can avoid those and get my feet wet starting FBA with Ungated items until I can get to the steps where I am able to move forward into the ungating process. I think the GATED Categories are baby, beauty, grocery, health and toys. Am I missing anything if anyone out there can help? Thanks!

    @pattyadelhelm7990 2 роки тому

    I watched an older video you made explaining shipping FBA, I need to check with you about poly bagging really large items that are not totally enclosed by the box and I can touch the actual Product. Actually, another question about that exact thing, when picking product type from the drop-down menu when preparing items for the shipment I don't know which option to pick when it's this type of product when you can touch the actual product??? There doesn't seem to be a good choice to pick from that describes this type of product, unless I'm not understanding all of what their descriptions for products mean but what is the correct type from the drop-down to use.
    Back to the initial question, you referred to using what I believe I remember being a clear plastic garbage bag??? not sure? I thought you cut off the top that had either tying handles or drawstring can't remember.
    Do the poly bags need to be 100% clear? I ordered some that said clear in the description from Amazon but they are not exactly clear you can see through them but it's very cloudy clear & I think I have to return them. So where do you get clear poly bags that are huge I also read for Amazon they have to be 1.5 ml thick.
