You have one of the very best of the best TH-cam channels for retail arbitrage advice, terminology, and other great information. I regard you as the official "retail arbitrage advice lady." I will have more questions for you in the future, but just a few for now. Do I need a DBA form? Can I do without a state sales tax identification number, or tax I.D. number since I pay sales tax at the retail store of my purchases? Does Amazon provide me with a 1099 or similar earnings statement for annual tax filing?
Hi Nikki thank you for sharing your videos I would like to try it! Wish me good luck. I'm learning from your videos. A little scared😨 but I'm sure I will try it
As suggested, went to Walmart to check out the clearance aisle. But for mostly everything I scanned it said, “Don’t see your product. Create a new listing.” What does that mean? Can I still try to sell it if it’s not listed on Amazon? What does that mean? Can I still sell on Amazon?
Hi Nikki - thanks for your great content. I'm a new FBA seller and am primarily sending in used books. I've been hunting around for what else I can sell as a new seller, have only found a few things so far. I'm definitely going to have to find out how to get ungated in other categories. Question - what do you use to scan products in stores? Do you use the Amazon seller app, or some other paid tool? Thanks again!
Nice video. I wanted to know, is DNA the only way you can sell on Amazon? Do you have to have a store? Or can you just have a normal account under which you can post whatever items you want to sell?
Hi Nikki, Great videos. I was wondering where do you store the inventory when you're in the RV or do you ever have to? How much space should I or anyone starting out have just for inventory? Thanks for the vids😃
Matthew Barker hey Matthew! I send most of my stuff FBA so it’s all in my dining room slide of the RV for a day when I pack it up and then I take it to the UPS store. When I do FBM it’s mostly small stuff and it fits in cabinets I have or just on or under my desk. For supplies etc I have one small cabinet in the RV it’s about 3 foot by 3 foot and holds everything!
Hi, I have watched a lot of your videos and I found them very informative. I have a question: I really want to start with the retail arbitrage but I am a little confused and I have nobody to help me with this issue. In order to start with my retail arbitrage, do I have to install Amazon Seller Central app on my phone which costs 39.99? And when I try to install the app on my phone it asked me for a LEGAL NAME ? Can you please help me? Can you please give me brief me about that ? Thank you in advance
Hey, you need an amazon selling account, there are free individual level accounts and your legal name is your legal name unless you have a business then you would put in your legal business name.
@@NikkiKirk hi, Thank you a lot for the answer. So, in the future if I want to switch it to a business name, it won't be a problem? Another question: let's say I open the professional account, can I still put my name as the name of the business if I dont have my LLC certificate yet?
Certain Amazon categories are “gated” to sellers unless they can provide a wholesale INVOICE (not the same as a retail receipt which won’t get you ungated. It MUST be an actual INVOICE from either the brand or one of their authorized distributors) to prove you are a legitimate business sourcing authentic products, not counterfeit ones.
@@mariajames1369 The main gated categories are grocery, topicals, over the counter medicines, toys and personal care/household. To sell an item for any of these categories (if you’re not ungated,) you’ll get an “apply to sell” message. It will ask you to upload an invoice for at least 10 of that item from a distributor authorized by that brand as well as photos that you must take (not screenshots from the internet.) I used Nikki’s guide for Grocery, topicals and OTC and got ungated for each of those categories by following it.
It depends on what the supplier is requesting. For my guides you need a resale license for the toy one but nothing at all for the topical / grocery one
Hi, Nikki! I just got my amazon seller account earlier this week. How can i get started scanning items? I just tried scanning a box of coloring pens marked down to $1.00. amazing how much possible gross profit i saw using the amazon seller app
Get ungated in Grocery, Topicals & Toys with my bundle: gum.co/ungatebundle

Thank you for the great info
hello, I have such a question, and you only scan using Seller App or or some other applications?
so what you're saying is you start in the clearance aisle, but then just go down non-clearance ones and start scanning those also?
Nice video. I wanted to know, is DNA the only way you can sell on Amazon? Do you have to have a store? Or can you just have a normal account under which you can post whatever items you want to sell?
Scan everything!

Hi, does your amazon selling boot camp include the ungating guides to topical, toys and grocery or is that a separate purchase?
Can you get an invoice from a distributor as an individual or do you need an LLC?
I just got ungated and I’m a individual didn’t need a LLC for me..
@@AmstyleENT Hey there. Which distributor did you use to buy products? And what products did you buy?
are you scanning the barcode on the item in the app?
Hi. Can you please make a video on RA for topicals I’m new and just got approved thank you
What is the business type I use when I apply ?
Hi. I'm new at Amazon seller. I I'm individual how I get the reseller or business license?
Thanks for the video

What is Ungated and how to do it ?
I was wondering the same thing

It MUST be an actual INVOICE from either the brand or one of their authorized distributors) to prove you are a legitimate business sourcing authentic products, not counterfeit ones.
@@snapoutofit2151 is that is ? So they ask you different things for different categories

@@snapoutofit2151 hey there. Thanks for the informative reply. Which distributor did you use (product wise)? Please and thanks.
I'm so excited just joined your bolo group hoping to get into fba...I'm only doing mf right now. Yay I love your videos 😁
Carol Baare oh awesome!! Excited to have you Carol!! And thank you! Glad they’re helpful
How many times do you scan a week?
lorraine fernandez I go sourcing once a week. Usually out shopping for 7-8 hours
i cant even find any clearance at walmart
What app are you scanning with?
The Amazon selling app
How do you deal with returns
How do you get the scanner?
It's These Moments it’s just the free Amazon seller app!
@@NikkiKirk Thank you!
do I need an EIN to become ungated?
It depends on what the supplier is requesting. For my guides you need a resale license for the toy one but nothing at all for the topical / grocery one
Make a video of your mistakes, so we also be careful 😊thank you
Rkd rjd will do! 😉
Hi Nikki thanks for the video question ? what app I need for scan?
The Amazon seller app!
Thanks for your great info, bought your ungated in grocery
Awesome!
Hi, Nikki! I just got my amazon seller account earlier this week. How can i get started scanning items? I just tried scanning a box of coloring pens marked down to $1.00. amazing how much possible gross profit i saw using the amazon seller app
Hey! It sounds like you've got the hang of it already, just keep scanning!
