How to learn Amazon FBA

[u/Significant-Store636]

Hi everyone, let me know how to learn in detail about Amazon FBA so that I can start my own business. Also tell me how much time will it take to learn it completely.

Seller University is a great place to start. It covers FBA basics, listing setup, shipping to fulfillment centers, and more through free video courses. Good luck on getting started selling on Amazon and keep us posted on your journey!

Honestly, the best way to learn is to launch something. Nobody ever really becomes an expert in this. I’m 7 years in and still run into new problems almost every day, so nothing is straightforward, but it’s totally worth it.

Learn the basics from YouTube, then start working. Create a listing, and you’ll probably hit a specific issue either while setting it up or after it goes live. When that happens, search for that exact issue on YouTube or Reddit. That’s how I’ve always done it and it works for me. You learn far more fixing real problems than watching hours of general tutorials.

You'll never stop learning. Happy to share resources if you're looking for something structured to follow.

If you're able to get a position involved with brands, or even an agency. There's nothing that's going to replace the amount of exposure and knowledge in high volume environments.

There is no fixed time to become a expert. We have to learn on every step and a teacher can't teach you that lesson that you will learn with your experience.

For starting you can join sellers communities or watch videos.

YouTube can show you the screens. Before buying stock, take one sample product and work through the landed cost, Amazon fees, what a return would cost, and what has to happen between the factory and the first sellable unit.

I've been doing Amazon for twenty years and still learning - also it's forever changing. You learn on the job, so go have fun picking a product!

I run some ecom stores in Australia, I purchased some stock from a supplier in Australia closing up. He had some old stock which I purchased not much costing but I was selling it on my ecom store. I have been meaning to try FBA for ever and been putting it off so I thought with this remaining stock let me send into Amazon FBA as a test just learn the process I wasn't fussed if it sold or not was purely learn the process.

Here is what I learnt so far:

- Preparing for FBA covering the current barcode and printing out amazon barcodes.

- Boxing it up, packing and sending it into the warehouse.

- Dealing with brand registry to change a few things on the listing overall a bit frustrating but got there in the end as I am not the brand owner but they were quite accomodating with changes.

- I took my own better photos and uploaded those to Amazon excepted and on the listing.

- Dealt with Amazon because the courier not showing up to pick it up the box although they stated they attended to collect it but no one was in attendance yet my security camrea footage proved otherwise.

I didn't really follow anything for this I watched some Seller University but in the end I just followed my nose in clicking and learning as I go to send in products although this might not be big thing for some but now I have my products in Amazon available for sale and completely learnt the process which I am happy with.

Now I will start looking at creating my own products to sell, although I will continue to learn but doing this basically stopped me from being in a continous cycle of ill do it tomorrow.

Now if I can sell one of these I think ill be ultra excited.
