By telling you this out loud I have committed myself even if you never see this. Took a screenshot & it's my wallpaper. Have to commit to a new challenge. Really need a new goal. Thanks again 💪
Steve, so glad to come across this step by step video of how you do this, but question for you. If you know that Amazon wants 50# or less, wouldn't it be wise to set the box first on a scale, zero it out, then start putting books inside before taping it all up? I only ask because I am pretty sure I would have the box all filled, taped all up, then to see that it was too heavy, lol...
Going to watch all your videos about selling books on Amazon. Thank you for all your videos and the time you spend helping people. I've been doing Ebay, Posh & Mercari for about a year but I love books and hate taking pictures so I think this will be a great fit. Really I just have fear of the 1st step w Amazon. Thanks again. You change lives. ❤💪
Ok. So you need an amazon fba account.. You also need a laser printer. You need labeled paper for the stickers you put on the books. Also labeled paper for the shipping. Boxes. Tape. A scale? Can you use regular paper for both labeled items?
I love all your videos and thanks so much for all the knowledge. My question is I have seen other people just pack the books without putting a label on them. Is the labeling required? The program accelerate has an use Amazon label option does that mean we don’t print and Amazon does the labeling and will that cost me? Thanks!
Steve, i love your channel. You've really helped me realize what is possible if you commit yourself to reselling. But please at 2:13?!.. no we don't know how to do it, that's why we're watching your video titled (Amazon FBA a step by step tutorial).
Probably a strange question, but why don’t you have a better “office” or work area set up? Printer on the floor and piles of books on the floor looks a bit awkward?
I'm assuming you are asking about books? In which case possibly. You may be gated in certain categories or even just specific brand names or titles. It should tell you all of them that you can't sell, but they can change rapidly so it's not a guarantee.
You can add to Inventory Lab, print label, and then put the item directly in the proper box. That way you only touch the item once, and it's much quicker. Just trying to save you some time. Time is money! :)
+Starla Ross, What model of the Dymo printer would you recommend. I am also looking to get a USB Scanner. Needing some advice on which model to purchase. Thanks in advance.
I have been waiting to see this video ... I have book listed I need to convert into fba listings. Thank you for the video! It's Friday good day for thrifting!!!
Do you absolutely need to label books that already have a bar code? Just want to reconfirm - I sent my first shipment without labels and the original book barcode seems to be OK with AZ. Based on AZ guidelines you don't, you can use the ISBN or EAN barcode already on the book. FBA product barcode requirements FBA uses barcodes to identify and track inventory throughout the fulfillment process. Each item you send to an Amazon fulfillment center requires a barcode. There are two kinds of barcodes that you can use to identify your products: Manufacturer barcodes (eligible barcodes include GCID, UPC, EAN, JAN, or ISBN) Amazon barcodes (ASIN, FNSKU, or MSKU) Important: Items in your inventory that are identified and tracked using manufacturer barcodes are commingled with items of the same products from other sellers who also use manufacturer barcodes for those items. Thanks!
Great informative video but please learn how to check your levels. The volume is all over the place. Your voice levels are super low then when the beats drop they are deafening.
Love the video! super helpful! getting all my info and research done on buying and shipping for amazon fba.. now trying to figure out the ins and outs of what happens when things dont sell? any video on this part of Amazon FBA? Thanks!
Steve, I KNOW YOU'LL answer me: I've been very puzzled as to why most of the time a book comes up with the same information, but it has different monetary information. This happens all the time. One book can have 1 and 1/2 million- the next book that looks exactly the same with same cover, author, same hardcover or softcover, etc can have 1/2 million. This happens a lot on Profit Bandit. Can you point out which book would be the correct one? I've seen this happen on so many books, and many times I may see a picture of a book for sale online and not know the ISBN no. so I don't know which is the correct book. Why do they have seemingly the same book but different information? Thanks Steve!
Hey Steve. thanks for this great guide. I have a question. Do books generally sell for more when sold through FBA? I notice that when I scan books, the typically sell for more than if I sell them through merchant Fulfilled. have you found your margins are better with Amazon FBA? I just started with selling books and only have about 300 books in my house. Is it worth going FBA or should I stay merchant?
Great tutorial- any advise on how to make sure that I can send my products to one location and not several Amazon warehouses. I sent tripods to Amazon and they wanted me to send to three different locations. Kinda hassle to package and extra shipping cost! Any advise??
I'm so confused and completely stuck. I'm shipping my first box of books to FBA. Do book require SKU labels? When I buy books on amazon, they never come with labels... HELP!!!
I'm trying to learn how to do this myself. I feel like I'm making it a lot more confusing than it really is. I'm still not sure how to determine which books are worth buying and which aren't.
Thanks for another great video! Definitely learned a few good tips. Have you experienced issues where Amazon will start scanning your inventory in, only to find that the next day many are showing a '0' quantity available, and then a few days later it shows the actual quantity. Seems to happen quite frequently. Thank you for any help. -Steven
Whats the difference between a Pawn shop and a Thrift store? Im from germany and i couldnt figure out what the difference is. In germany we just have one kind of shops who look the same like thrift stores and pawn shops. Sry for my bad language tho
Hey man me and my brother just started this buisness and we got the books ready to go and we can find tape and boxes easily but we were just stuck on how we find people on amazon seller to sell it to please answer we also have more questions and btw i loved the video.
Thnx for all your great vids. I just got my account and app set up. Am excited to get started! You've mentioned laser printer for printing SKUs. Will my inkjet work as well? Thnx.
Tha is for watching,Jim! Yes, any printer will do. Laser printers seem to be faster, and you dont have to worry about smearing the ink either. You inkjet will be fine for as long as you want to use it!
You can drop off at UPS location for free so I have been told. Or you can pay small fee not sure how much then they will come pick up your shipment. Also was told by expert on one of these videos, Jim Pickens is his name. According to his video you can sign up at the UPS web site for 1 full year of free pickups. After a year most people that want to grow this bigger will be able to do LTL shipping and still get it picked up. Note: LTL is shipping on a pallet Less Then a Load.
Steve Lewis it has the sku, bar code, name and condition. I find if I have the same book (a few of them and different conditions) I will put a sticky on it with the condition or leave it in the appropriate pile so I know which label to put on.
I'm stuck. I have a shipment of 103 items to ship and 102 have been approved to ship. I keep getting an error message but it won't tell me the one book that isn't being accepted so I can sgip

+Alexander Schindler ..... Pawn Shop is a place that People goes to sell/pawn their items also you can buy items from the pawn shops.....Thrift Store however is where People goes to DONATE their items /stuff for FREE and You can also buy things from the Thrift Store.
not really A complete step by step if youve already prepped half the stuff..
By telling you this out loud I have committed myself even if you never see this. Took a screenshot & it's my wallpaper. Have to commit to a new challenge. Really need a new goal. Thanks again 💪

Thanks so much for watching Nicole. The first step is ALWAYS the hardest. Send in that initial shipment and you will be good to go! Best of luck 😊
O
What are the labels used for? Also, how or where do you get the info on where Amazon tells us where we need to ship our books to?
Lucky me that I found this video I almost bag every single book 🤦🏻♀️ you just save me a lot of time! Thanks 🙏
Ok. So you need an amazon fba account.. You also need a laser printer. You need labeled paper for the stickers you put on the books. Also labeled paper for the shipping. Boxes. Tape. A scale? Can you use regular paper for both labeled items?
You can use regular paper and tape to attach labels. The "sticker" labels just make it easier and faster.
Love All The Helpful Info! Just Got My FBA Account Approved, Ordered My Dymo and Ready to Rock! Keep up the Good Work!!!
That is so great to hear, Nick! Thank you for that, I'm glad I could help in some way!
Smart move on the tape over labels. I've worked at UPS forever and can't tell you how many labels don't stick or get rolled off packages.
When is it appropriate to use polybags?
With most items you can ship them in a poky bag. Soft items, clothing, books etc.
I love all your videos and thanks so much for all the knowledge. My question is I have seen other people just pack the books without putting a label on them. Is the labeling required? The program accelerate has an use Amazon label option does that mean we don’t print and Amazon does the labeling and will that cost me? Thanks!
Video starts at 4:30
What labels do you use? Does it matter?
Use whatever works in your printer👍🏻
2 cameras?? You gettin' all fancy schmancy on us ;). Great video!
Steve, i love your channel. You've really helped me realize what is possible if you commit yourself to reselling. But please at 2:13?!.. no we don't know how to do it, that's why we're watching your video titled (Amazon FBA a step by step tutorial).
Sorry, I explain it right after.
What size labels are for the big boxes?
I use the same label sizes for all boxes.
Im watching all your videos on selling books FBA. Im getting started💪🤝
Your awesome man. Appreciated much👍👍
Label printer vs regular printer. I wonder which is best?
Regular printers do great, but certain ones can really up your printing speed and quality!
Probably a strange question, but why don’t you have a better “office” or work area set up? Printer on the floor and piles of books on the floor looks a bit awkward?
do you need to put the book into poly bags? is that required?
This guy loves his tape
😂😂😂
How do you get the labels from amazon FN Skw?
Do you still use inventory lab?
What do u mean by desticker?
Any stickers need to be removed.
Once you scan the app does Amazon say they will take it or do you have to buy it and be stuck with it?
I'm assuming you are asking about books? In which case possibly. You may be gated in certain categories or even just specific brand names or titles. It should tell you all of them that you can't sell, but they can change rapidly so it's not a guarantee.
I hope your new printer is a Dymo, so that you can print labels as you add your items to Inventory Lab. That would save you SO much time.

+Starla Ross, What model of the Dymo printer would you recommend. I am also looking to get a USB Scanner. Needing some advice on which model to purchase. Thanks in advance.
Does UPS or the other delivery company's come to the house to collect it?
Usually you have to drop off the packages, but you may be able to get your mail carrier to collect them.
So the box can be home depot, Walmart on it doesn't matter?
great info. I have a question : you printed two sets of labels for two boxes. Would it matter which label goes on which box ?
how much did you make off of that shipment?
4:12 Label does not cover bar code completely. Do you fix this with an extra label?
I have been waiting to see this video ... I have book listed I need to convert into fba listings. Thank you for the video! It's Friday good day for thrifting!!!

Jayne Tripplett Eversince then I label all
my books but nothing happenned to my first shipment surprisingly maybe they gave me a chance?
Sean Teng so your books ended up in "commingled". Not something that is recommended.
What about the shipping to1 verses. several warehouses?
amazon decides where the items go.
Great informative video but please learn how to check your levels. The volume is all over the place. Your voice levels are super low then when the beats drop they are deafening.
Sorry man, this is an older video. I promise my newer ones are much better quality! Thanks for watching, Sandor!
Love the video! super helpful! getting all my info and research done on buying and shipping for amazon fba.. now trying to figure out the ins and outs of what happens when things dont sell? any video on this part of Amazon FBA? Thanks!
I have an FBA account and a hand held scanner. Can I get started for $50bux or less sourcing books?
good

Hi :) Thank you!
Thanks Steve. Simple and to the point!
morning steve! it's a late message on this board....2 years. if you're selling a book that is new, do you have to label it?
Can I send books over to the Australia Amazon or is it purely USA that offer this service?
What if you have collectors books and don't want to put one of those stickers on them because it might bring the value down>?
Being new at this, was good to watch. I have a huge Amazon facility near me.......can I just drop my shipments off or do I have to ship?
you don't shrink wrap your books?
Am I wasting time shrink wrapping my books? I do it because I don't know how they will be handled at fullfillment centre.
+Darlington Mboto you don't need to.
Personally, I never do unless it’s merchant fulfilled
I'm so confused and completely stuck. I'm shipping my first box of books to FBA. Do book require SKU labels? When I buy books on amazon, they never come with labels... HELP!!!
This was an awesome video! I'm so desperate to make this work. Just sent out my first shipment!
I'm trying to learn how to do this myself. I feel like I'm making it a lot more confusing than it really is. I'm still not sure how to determine which books are worth buying and which aren't.
how did it go ? Just sent my first as well. Pretty cool
is that a Mr Rogers T-shirt????
Your videos are so helpful thanks
You''re welcome, Dee! Glad to be of help.
Thanks for another great video! Definitely learned a few good tips. Have you experienced issues where Amazon will start scanning your inventory in, only to find that the next day many are showing a '0' quantity available, and then a few days later it shows the actual quantity. Seems to happen quite frequently. Thank you for any help. -Steven
TRUEwebDEALS yes. They are moving them to other warehouses.
Thanks for the video. I just got some free books and I need to get them to amazon. How does it work if your at an APO address?
Great video as always thanks for sharing!
Great video! Thank you!
How did you get them all to go to the same fulfillment center?
+simetra
1. Under Settings, click Fulfillment by Amazon.
2. Under Inbound Settings, click Edit.
3. Under Inventory Placement Option, click Inventory Placement Service.
4. Click Update.

+Alexander Schindler thrift stores pretty much all run off of donations. Pawn shops buy items from customers to resell. They also loan money on items.
Hey man me and my brother just started this buisness and we got the books ready to go and we can find tape and boxes easily but we were just stuck on how we find people on amazon seller to sell it to please answer we also have more questions and btw i loved the video.
afrah adow you sell it as an Amazon seller
It’s as easy as open an amazon seller account and pick up where he goes with this video.
Thnx for all your great vids. I just got my account and app set up. Am excited to get started! You've mentioned laser printer for printing SKUs. Will my inkjet work as well? Thnx.
Tha is for watching,Jim! Yes, any printer will do. Laser printers seem to be faster, and you dont have to worry about smearing the ink either. You inkjet will be fine for as long as you want to use it!
what do you mean "ship with UPS"?? will it come to your house, or you need to go to UPS office.. or what??
You can drop off at UPS location for free so I have been told. Or you can pay small fee not sure how much then they will come pick up your shipment.

what is the best way to di sticker books
ANA Scotty peeler. You buy off amazon
If you print them out like this instead of one at a time, does the label have the name of the book? What info is all on the label?
Steve Lewis it has the sku, bar code, name and condition.
I find if I have the same book (a few of them and different conditions) I will put a sticky on it with the condition or leave it in the appropriate pile so I know which label to put on.
I'm stuck. I have a shipment of 103 items to ship and 102 have been approved to ship. I keep getting an error message but it won't tell me the one book that isn't being accepted so I can sgip
Thank you for great content!!
Thank you
Thanks Steve! Your awesome...love the shirt.
Steve, even though the Amazon seller app is free you still have to pay$39.95 to be able to use it for scanning? Correct?
Saleem Toor no. It's free to scan as long as you have a seller account
Saleem Toor not if you want to use fba scan
In Europe it's £25 per month to have a seller account
I heard that you had to poly bag them before shipping, how does that actually work?
You do not have to poly them. Just box them up!
60 bucks shipping..holy shit..more then books are worth..hope they sell
Media is cheap to ship
Love your shirt lol
Thank you, Rocko! lol
Make a video on how to make a bundle listing and how to pack that?
U are so funny thanks so much very helpful lesson

There's shit load of questions in your comments... at least bother to answer them once in a while.

Fbu
Lol.

thrift stores generally get donations for free, pawn shops typically pay for inventory. also pawn shops do short term loans
