Knowing both the good and bad sides, you can answer the question of: is amazon fba still worth starting in 2022? If you do start, then you’ll know how to sell on amazon 2022 the right way.

I m doing dropping shipping and within a month I started to sell and into my 3rd month👍. Only downside us the very high fb ad cost. I m already looking into email marketing. All profit is mine 100%, no fees or uncertainty whatsoever ever😀👍👏👏.Az is only good for customers not for sellers.

    As always Dan, a perfect video brother 👌
    My 3 worst experiences have been
    1 - having my second best listing suppressed and giving it all the information requested and still not be able to un suppress the listing. Seller support couldn't do it either so having to then create a removal order, delete the listing and start over from scratch again. Similar to your issue
    2 - when I make changes to my listings and nothing happens so having to create a new listing from scratch to be able to have those better changes to my listing actually go into my listing
    And 3 - getting all signed up with Avalara waiting for over 6 months to get my european VAT/IOSS& A European EORI Numbers, then sending my inventory to Germany and my stock getting stuck at customs and they say they can't tell me what charges I will have to pay until I after i fill out the power of otterny form. So I've had to get UPS to send the shipment back to me
    Nightmares lol 🤣 I'm in the process of sending some inventory to the US and I'll figure out europe in the meantime
    Have a great week Dan 👍👌

    FBM is worst than FBA.
    That's why I hate Amazon : you can win fastly and lose fastly. You don't have any control on your business and your are only an Amazon employee.
    SEO / SEA website business are the best.
    Was you aware that's you used a brand / mark ?

    2016 I had $3,000 worth of bluetooth headphones customers were complaining they were falling apart even the ones I gave friends we're having problems luckily at the time Amazon free shipping four stranded stock I received them I gave them away as Christmas and birthday and any occasion presents . I figured better to lose the money then to have bad customer reviews on my first product doing a lot better with my other
    products
    My other option was to take them all and crazy glue the problem area decided against that still could have probably down the road that's my story

    We sold video sunglasses for 5 years and built up the reviews . There are close to 400+ sellers in the same sub category. But only ours got removed stating "this is an audio and video surveying device" so it is against amazon policy . They removed it . It is been almost a year still fighting with amazon that when other people can sell the product why not us ?

    Hi Dan, I have a product with good reviews but in my 3 shipment there was defective issue that let to high return rate and NCX which let to product removals and amazon deactivated the listing.
    I have gotten the listing active again and changed what led to defective issue and removed the previous inventory.
    Now I have new inventory, the same design but changed a little button to make it stronger. Do I use same listing with good reviews but high NCX or create a new listing and start to build momentum again that’s losing all the reviews.
    What’s your advice?
    Thank you for always providing valuable information.

      Hey Zachary, the product was brand registered, it wasn't the brand name, it was a symbol on the product that I did not realize was protected as it is very common on these products and was on the manufacturer's base version. The only way to get the listing back was for the plaintiff to retract their complaint with Amazon, they were not willing to do that.

It took me 4 weeks, a lot of money, and stress trying to reactivate the listing. I gave up on it and I created a new one and somehow I found somebody to help me to add the old inventory to the new listing.
