I’m a Chinese seller, but I’m not manufacturer, actually we hate the lower price strategy too , it is killing us too, I really hope Amazon could do something on the Chinese seller, don’t let them keep doing it.
This is what really troubled me from the very beginning of starting my FBA business, because I noticed sellers with competing products like mine all had Chinese addresses. And nobody seemed to be bothered about it but I thought they had a very unfair advantage. Thanks for making this video.
You forgot about review manipulation, co opting reviews and linking thousands of unrelated reviews to their newly product listed. That is the ultimate kill shot for your product.
@@ella3266 They generally take over "Dead" listings. I was told a story where a fake seller created a listing, flooded the listing with incentivized reviews, and then when amazon banned the seller, the listing remained on amazon with the reviews, and the "brand owner" came in to sell on a brand new high review listing since banning the seller doesn't remove reviews generated by the product, even if they were done illegally.
@@comfycapitalist6075 This has become so trendy recently in every category I check there are several of them. Other sellers and I got together and reported them, Amazon has done nothing about it. They are brand registered with several accounts. Mind Blowing!!!
@@TravisMarziani Yes Travis you can do that. But this trend is supper damaging. I have followed your advices and it works. But you have to made out of titanium not to go insane when you see these stuff on amazon :)
I've had a couple of my listings Hijacked by a seller from China. I also had different Chinese seller create a new listing copying my listing. Then somehow got my listing removed, allowing them to corner the market. Such shady tactics...
@@TravisMarziani yes , but the chineses have so low prices ,they are forcing everyone to low them too , its a mess and sad , the profit use to be good , you need lucky to find a product now until they realize it.
In this context I disagree, Slamoo has almost twice bigger sale then Spike Ball ;) maybe is not recognisable brand but people prefer to buy cheaper products ( half original price ).
Now I understand why it’s so important to buy American. We need more people to think this way. If I see made out of America I’d rather pay more. We’ve got to support our own.
Hi, great video!! Just starting a dropshipping business and I realized recently that Amazon is full of chineese sellers. More than 80% of sellers on amazon Europe are chineese. This is very unfair because they are not paying taxes at all.😡😡
Love the video. Great content and very useful. Some of your older videos just kind of had rehashes of old information, But this video was very informative got straight to the good info and was very useful. Thank you
Hey Travis, love your content! When would you work on calculating your import duty % for the product and category your product researching for, and are there any resources you'd recommend in doing so?
You're right, Traivs. Chinese sellers like to copy products, so when choosing products, you will always find many sellers selling the same products, using the same packaging. This is also a big problem that bothers me. I'm from China, a newbie, and when looking for the right product, I always find a bunch of "100%" identical products, same color, same size, same features. It seems that their brands are only used to implement certain features of Amazon.
@@TravisMarziani Hi Travis, Sorry for the delay in responding to you. My software has been unstable lately and I can't access youtube properly. I have actually launched a product and am selling it slowly at a rate of 2 orders per day. No doubt my first product is also 100% replicated. Because at that time my idea was to learn amazon by a real product first. One of the questions I had was how to find those "innovative" products as a small seller.
Chinese amazon Sellers are killing local long time stablished US amazon sellers, is the US gov planning to regulate this? No protection for US domestic retailers? Is anybody bringing this issue up to any regulation system or government official? Most US amazon sellers are Chinese, is this ever going to stop?
When non-China originated FBA sellers seeking best quality product, they may not search on Alibaba. So when those factories are loosing clients, they have to go FBA/FBM themselves. That is what scenario you can find on Amazon.
I also a Canadian seller. I own a Canadian business if you just sell in America amazon should do all the sales tax. While the income tax CRA and IRS settle themselves it is what I do but you should hire a CPA to do your tax so they know better.
Hi Travis. I want to sell my own brand of clothes on Amazon but shipping cost to the US from Brazil is too expensive (30 shirts would cost around 400 USD, which is around 14 USD per shirt). Would can I do? 😭
I always tell my clients to not to build a product but make a brand, no matter how cheap you sell there is always gonna be someone who can sell for cheap but when you are a brand it doesn't matter- chinese people have mindset of only sell cheap price they dont care about branding or quality.. so amazon fba still works when you can find a gap and build a brand on it
Travis its Alex from your course!!! great one and I am happy that China can not copy my game haha I will get a patent for it! Be unik and inventive is the only way to go now
Most of these broken brands that end up on Amazon are NOT cheaper although they appear like they are. If one item lasts you 3 years and you spent $80 and the knock off one cost $30 but you end up replacing it each year, which is cheaper? People don't thin of long term cost, just short term feel goods. I am sick of all these broken knock off brands on Amazon, makes it hard to be a place to even shop anymore. You have to specifically look for something decent or you'll only see the garbage.
For me as a German seller, Amazon even affects me when I sell stuff on Ebay. I mean, in Germany you pay the highest taxes in the world = it's so hard to be a seller here. ;-;
This is EXACTLY what Walmart does - use their "Equate" brand to undercut other brand products - as a US company,... the largest US brick and mortar retailer and 6.5% share of all online ecommerce. Ironic? Is there not a stigma deserved for Walmart's business actions? ...and most grocery chains.. ...and So, Brand originality, value, and being dynamic is the most important ability to sustain. I help companies niche because of this global competitive technique which is part of modern business in every aspect. There needs to be more consultants, product sellers, manufacturers and inventors that realize this to shape the future of industry.
thanks for the sharing, I am from CHINA, and I just want to start to become an Amazon FBA seller, and first, I want to study the culture of this community also law, and orders. If there is a way to succeed that is to understand the community and respect the way they are, I will keep study and hope can join the Amazon FBA community soon.
Hey Travis... There is some truth about their pricing... but, the message is a bit bias on the manufacturers part... why? Have you ever thought about manufacturers need to invest a lot of money, time setting up and maintaining their factory? If you think that is an unfair advantage? You may try opening one if you want to have that pricing? I have been a manufacturer for twenty years in China and it is not something easy as it seems... Hey, they are also finding ways to survive and ROI... I like what you have mentioned on the last part where it is better to focus on what you can do and control to be in competition... and that should be the thinking if you want to compete and do business that you can control... my two cents.
I knew this was gonna happen, it’s why I haven’t jumped into selling on Amazon yet even though I really wanted to. Just had a feeling China was gonna cause issues.
But don't blame the Chinese , they do what they always did, Amazon is the one to blame for allowing this , this should be USA or any countries market ,to sell you need to be from there , period.
Chinese seller too,some of them are the factories who want to make the newbies to buy their cheap product.But those products are traps that can't make any sales.
Hey. In Ireland we got a thing call E.R.O.I number. with that number you don't pay import tax. It cost 50 euro a year. I can used it in any country. Just be VAT reg.

@@TravisMarziani that's precisely the point, so, be kind to the Chinese Manufacturers... they invested money to open up a factory and you have not factored into this... you and James are portraying them like they are your enemies... bro, if you are putting such negativity... that's pretty bias... and how can the Chinese manufacturer have low wages... don't you know that they are even higher compared to Vietnam, Philippines and other Asian Countries? The price difference is minimal when you calculate your costings disregarding the other costs... If you are a Seller in the USA, you need to pay tax and that is not a problem of China? and if you want to not pay tax, then, migrate over here... so, why the negativity?

I find it hard to think of a unique product, that can't be copied... 🙄the idea 💡 of the wine cards bar code was pretty smart. I see how it can't be copied👍
Why not send a copy of your video to Jeff Bezos and try to appeal to him to do the right thing and remind him that he is an American. Also send video to federal government to see if they can do something.
Beware! Beware! Beware of the Chinese, like Lu Wenlong, adding an account to your account. That's what happened to me in on or about June 02, 2021. As per Amazon Serrler Central's Agent Jun, there is not anything that can be done about it. Been trying for 3 months to close my account but can't close it because I must also get Fu Wenlong to close his/her add on account. Is this crazy, or what?
@@TravisMarziani I've only sold t-shirts on amazon, I've never opened my own FBA store. I myself have definitely been looking into my own product that is unique and difficult to copy. You offer mentorship right?
BTW Trump warned people. I live in South America and wanted to jump in but this will be a challenge since Chinese sellers have a lot of leverage on all fronts
85% of my competitors are from China, the gurus will tell you other wise for obvious reason$$. Now Wal-mart has open the gates foreign sellers so we all now whats going to happend there.
Well, not just Chinese.. Almost all nationality including me wants to sell on the United States because Americans are the best consumer in the whole wide world.
Couldn't China just create a qr code on their cards that leads to that guys videos too? Lol. They absolutely could do that so I'm not sure why you just passed right over that one lol. Not going to lie tho...I wish I wouldn't have watched these last few videos of yours that I did.. I suppose I'm not far enough along in my quest for amazon success to find the info useful, I found it to be extremely discouraging..adding more worry&fear to my already overwhelmed brain. Which kinda sucks..I was starting to feel kinda confident,like I was getting somewhere, like "hey, MAAYYYBEE I can make this work!" .. And then these last few videos brought that to a screeching halt.. I felt like I just got slapped in the face by Madea, twice..like "no bitch! No you can't! And don't go getting all stupid on me again by trying to convince yourself that you can. ITS A LIE!" ..... Me: 🤕 ouch 😔
In my opinion Americans shouldn't manufacture in China. When you manufacture in China, you've given away your intellectual property. If they want to copy you, they will. You also starve the American manufacturers you should be using, which drives up prices and makes it harder to find a local manufacturer. On a large scale this takes money out of the pockets of your potential customers. This is what happened when big American companies outsourced a lot of manufacturing to other countries. Those blue collar jobs went away. Software development and IT has also been largely outsourced, killing a lot of white collar jobs. The number of Americans able to afford a premium passion product goes down, and the cost of American manufacturing goes up. It's a race to the bottom. The solution is to have a unique enough product that you can charge a reasonable price while still manufacturing in America. You can't keep sending money and jobs out of America then expect Americans to afford your premium niche product. No, they'll have to buy the cheap foreign product.

原文內容 I'm a Hong kong amazon seller, and a brand designer, I think give value, good branding, will be a good way to alive on amazon fba. Thx your video for inspire people.
Hey Chingo Ho Lam, please can I hook up with you privately to discuss brand design? I'm a newbie with Amazon and looking forward to designing my own brand. Please would you be happy to get in touch
I’m sorry.... did you just blame Trump for this??? What ISNT gonna be blamed on him 🙄 He’s trying to make things cheaper and better for Americans... which is you... so you might not wanna bash the man who’s trying to make making money easier for Americans.
To add to this comment. Trump's plan was to make it less "easy" for both the chinese to flood the market with cheaper product, and for americans to buy overseas, thus destroying our manufacturing and small business bases.
@@TravisMarziani all due respect partial facts can be very misleading... you just said that because of Trump it’s more expensive.. a lot of people that don’t do research would take that as Trump doing something on purpose to make their business cost them more when in reality Trump has always been on the side of the working American and his plans are always to benefit us not hinder us :)
@@rachelmaguire4734 Trump launched a half baked tariff scheme to get his base riled up as usual. Tariffs are paid by the importers in America, not by China. Having tariffs *without* also investing a ton of money on local manufacturing, buying a lot of local only products, making it so American corporations don't outsource, and increasing the wages of workers so they can afford local products doesn't work. Trump also worsened the wealth gap so fewer Americans can afford premium niche passion products made in America.
@@automaton111 Trump has been doing all he can do make it more possible to manufacture and do business in the US. I’m sorry you’re having trouble seeing past the lies that are told about him. Probably can’t ever help you see.
I'm doing crypto now. Great longterm investments to be had. Digital currencies will eventually rule the world. Even central banks are getting their own. Not Bitcoin. There's plenty other better coins price wise. Great video btw Travis!
@@TravisMarziani About a week Travis loool. But I been researching it a while. The future of financial payments will end in not just cashless but digital payments. I don't mean the current electronic payments but crypto or digital payments. As the world economy moves to such transactions the amount of money and therefore price increase of such crypto coins can only increase. But I definitely recommend doing research on coins and their respective companies as there are currently over nine thousand crypto coins in existence even though we only usually hear about Bitcoin in the mainstream news because of its price. But your return on investment is better on the smaller coins that are only getting started but have much potential. We might be a little late to the Bitcoin party but the fact is when it comes to the global crypto party we are only just being served the appetizers! 🤑
China is killing the economy of every single country. But still, we are all allowing them to do it. In special governments and amazon that put no regulation on this issue. I know many people here think that Chine has not yet mastered marketing and brand building but years ago everyone felt relax because Chinese products had so bad quality. Nowadays I’ve bought American and Chinese products (synthetic hair) and found the Chinese one way better and way cheaper. What makes me think that they’ll keep improving in everything. Also, Chinese business have everyday more more resources to focus on marketing and eventually they will. That’s kind of scary for entrepreneurs in the world
Woww so this whole video was focused on shitting on Chinese manufacturers. Your friend said they "could" just not pay taxes... well guess what, anyone "could" not pay taxes even in the States. Saying they could "lie" about their declared value for customs is just a biased point of view. You mentioned about trademarks not being useful as they can just copy the products. You're just talking about all the possible bad points that "could" happen. Why not have a video talking about Amazon sellers who just buy products from Aliexpress and get Chinese manufacturers to dropship and the seller makes all the profit? Those sellers would just take photos from the seller's website without consent and use them as their own... is that alright to you? I'm not a Chinese manufacturer nor an Amazon seller. Just came across your video and see that you're so biased and putting the blame on Chinese manufacturers. Just be fair man.

Been trying for 3 months to close my account but can't close it because I must also get Fu Wenlong to close his/her add on account. Is this crazy, or what?
This Mean unique private label ..!
I believe you right.
Seems like there are more reviews for Slammo as compared to Spikeball though.
90% of people will choice slammo for half a price , a true
@@TravisMarziani Thanks for the clarification!
The title gave me anxiety 🤣, glad I watch all the way through though
@@TravisMarziani I've only sold t-shirts on amazon, I've never opened my own FBA store. I myself have definitely been looking into my own product that is unique and difficult to copy. You offer mentorship right?
BTW Trump warned people. I live in South America and wanted to jump in but this will be a challenge since Chinese sellers have a lot of leverage on all fronts
85% of my competitors are from China, the gurus will tell you other wise for obvious reason$$. Now Wal-mart has open the gates foreign sellers so we all now whats going to happend there.
@@TravisMarziani what about brand registered?
Well, not just Chinese.. Almost all nationality including me wants to sell on the United States because Americans are the best consumer in the whole wide world.
dude, the writing was on the wall years ago. Don't sell what comes from China. Period.
Reply me
Got duped with products from China.
America needs to make the factory to come back
But I think I heard that amazon banned chinese sellers
Couldn't China just create a qr code on their cards that leads to that guys videos too? Lol. They absolutely could do that so I'm not sure why you just passed right over that one lol. Not going to lie tho...I wish I wouldn't have watched these last few videos of yours that I did.. I suppose I'm not far enough along in my quest for amazon success to find the info useful, I found it to be extremely discouraging..adding more worry&fear to my already overwhelmed brain. Which kinda sucks..I was starting to feel kinda confident,like I was getting somewhere, like "hey, MAAYYYBEE I can make this work!" .. And then these last few videos brought that to a screeching halt.. I felt like I just got slapped in the face by Madea, twice..like "no bitch! No you can't! And don't go getting all stupid on me again by trying to convince yourself that you can. ITS A LIE!" .....
Me: 🤕 ouch 😔
Let's contact us about fixing the store from a bad review.
well that sucks
You forgot to mention the listings hijacking part. Unfortunately it will get worse in the future.
It is good point
In my opinion Americans shouldn't manufacture in China. When you manufacture in China, you've given away your intellectual property. If they want to copy you, they will. You also starve the American manufacturers you should be using, which drives up prices and makes it harder to find a local manufacturer. On a large scale this takes money out of the pockets of your potential customers. This is what happened when big American companies outsourced a lot of manufacturing to other countries. Those blue collar jobs went away. Software development and IT has also been largely outsourced, killing a lot of white collar jobs. The number of Americans able to afford a premium passion product goes down, and the cost of American manufacturing goes up. It's a race to the bottom.
The solution is to have a unique enough product that you can charge a reasonable price while still manufacturing in America.
You can't keep sending money and jobs out of America then expect Americans to afford your premium niche product. No, they'll have to buy the cheap foreign product.
Boy is this depressing

I'm a Hong kong amazon seller, and a brand designer, I think give value, good branding, will be a good way to alive on amazon fba. Thx your video for inspire people.
@@TravisMarziani 2 years now.XD
Hey Chingo Ho Lam, please can I hook up with you privately to discuss brand design? I'm a newbie with Amazon and looking forward to designing my own brand. Please would you be happy to get in touch
make sure your NDA/NNN is bilingual so it will stick
I’m sorry.... did you just blame Trump for this??? What ISNT gonna be blamed on him 🙄 He’s trying to make things cheaper and better for Americans... which is you... so you might not wanna bash the man who’s trying to make making money easier for Americans.
To add to this comment. Trump's plan was to make it less "easy" for both the chinese to flood the market with cheaper product, and for americans to buy overseas, thus destroying our manufacturing and small business bases.
@@TravisMarziani all due respect partial facts can be very misleading... you just said that because of Trump it’s more expensive.. a lot of people that don’t do research would take that as Trump doing something on purpose to make their business cost them more when in reality Trump has always been on the side of the working American and his plans are always to benefit us not hinder us :)
@@comfycapitalist6075 yes 100% thank you
@@rachelmaguire4734
Trump launched a half baked tariff scheme to get his base riled up as usual. Tariffs are paid by the importers in America, not by China. Having tariffs *without* also investing a ton of money on local manufacturing, buying a lot of local only products, making it so American corporations don't outsource, and increasing the wages of workers so they can afford local products doesn't work. Trump also worsened the wealth gap so fewer Americans can afford premium niche passion products made in America.
@@automaton111 Trump has been doing all he can do make it more possible to manufacture and do business in the US. I’m sorry you’re having trouble seeing past the lies that are told about him. Probably can’t ever help you see.
Premium product will be copied right away.
First comment 🙏🏾
Too much hand moving I just listen without looking.
After the video, I know what to do :) LOL
I need Chinese seller
For my listing promoter service
Do you hv any trusted Chinese seller
I'm doing crypto now. Great longterm investments to be had. Digital currencies will eventually rule the world. Even central banks are getting their own. Not Bitcoin. There's plenty other better coins price wise.
Great video btw Travis!
@@TravisMarziani About a week Travis loool. But I been researching it a while. The future of financial payments will end in not just cashless but digital payments. I don't mean the current electronic payments but crypto or digital payments. As the world economy moves to such transactions the amount of money and therefore price increase of such crypto coins can only increase. But I definitely recommend doing research on coins and their respective companies as there are currently over nine thousand crypto coins in existence even though we only usually hear about Bitcoin in the mainstream news because of its price. But your return on investment is better on the smaller coins that are only getting started but have much potential. We might be a little late to the Bitcoin party but the fact is when it comes to the global crypto party we are only just being served the appetizers! 🤑
"less likely to copy your product" ROTFLMAO!!!
I missed Trump as President
@@TravisMarziani Donald Trump Says "China"
Hello! Check the email (and spam) with a letter of cooperation (ConveyThis)
Misleading, dishonest title…
This is an April Fool's joke right?
are you a seller on amazon? It has been an issue for a while.
@@on9francisyu No however I am questioning if I should be one because of this issue though.
China is killing the economy of every single country. But still, we are all allowing them to do it. In special governments and amazon that put no regulation on this issue. I know many people here think that Chine has not yet mastered marketing and brand building but years ago everyone felt relax because Chinese products had so bad quality. Nowadays I’ve bought American and Chinese products (synthetic hair) and found the Chinese one way better and way cheaper. What makes me think that they’ll keep improving in everything. Also, Chinese business have everyday more more resources to focus on marketing and eventually they will. That’s kind of scary for entrepreneurs in the world
@@TravisMarziani me too 🙏🏼
Second comment 🙏
bla bla bla... China China China... got a lot of likes, so easy, old game
Woww so this whole video was focused on shitting on Chinese manufacturers. Your friend said they "could" just not pay taxes... well guess what, anyone "could" not pay taxes even in the States. Saying they could "lie" about their declared value for customs is just a biased point of view. You mentioned about trademarks not being useful as they can just copy the products. You're just talking about all the possible bad points that "could" happen.
Why not have a video talking about Amazon sellers who just buy products from Aliexpress and get Chinese manufacturers to dropship and the seller makes all the profit? Those sellers would just take photos from the seller's website without consent and use them as their own... is that alright to you?
I'm not a Chinese manufacturer nor an Amazon seller. Just came across your video and see that you're so biased and putting the blame on Chinese manufacturers. Just be fair man.
