how's it going youtube and my future
self welcome back to the lab tcg my name
is will and today we're going to be
talking about selling on amazon fba now
in order to do this you do need to have
a distributor or use potomac
distribution to get invoices to get
approved to sell pokemon cards but this
is going to cover how you can sell not
only pokemon cards but any products in
amazon also how to ship them how to list
them and everything under amazon fba so
if that's what you're into if you stay
till the end of the video you're going
to see exactly how i list products ship
products and then eventually send them
to amazon without further ado let's go
ahead and hop into the video
by utilizing methods that are shown in
this video and learning from other
resellers i was able to do 25 000
in revenue on amazon and then i went
back to school that's why there's no
sales first step to selling on amazon is
obviously going to be signing up to
become an amazon seller so if you
navigate over to amazon seller central
or selling on amazon the link's going to
be in the description below you're going
to want to go ahead and hit this page
and hit sign up now i'm not going to
walk through the steps of this process
but to sign up you do need a legal
business entity it usually takes a few
days or weeks to get your account
verified once you follow through all the
steps on how to get your account set up
you're going to go ahead and go over to
the seller dashboard so this is your
salary dashboard this is where all of
these stuff is going to be information
about how much you've sold how much
balance you have today's sales the
marketplaces you're in and all of that
information my numbers are pretty low i
haven't sold on amazon in a couple
months but this video i am shipping
products back to amazon so hopefully
those numbers are getting back up but
basically what you're going to want to
do here is just kind of come to this
every once in a while there's also a
mobile app that you can install that has
all this information but in order to
send inventory to amazon we're going to
have to go and hit the inventory tab
manage fba inventory so once you click
manage fba inventory you're going to
come to a screen like this now we're
going to want to add a product so go
ahead and add a product right here and
this you are allowed to search any asin
that you want or product name so with
this one we're going to look up 50
pokemon card lots
so on amazon you can go ahead and search
for any product that you'd like to sell
with this one it is the 50 pokemon card
lot if you scroll down to the bottom
where the product information is you can
go ahead and grab this asin then hop on
back over here paste the ace in and
search so now we have the
item right here if you want to sell this
product and you hadn't been approved yet
that's where you would hit
buy to sell and upload an invoice from a
distributor but in this case we're going
to be creating a new listing and we're
just going to select new and sell this
product when you're creating listings
and products to sell on amazon it's more
so that you are taking an asin or a
product name from amazon.com and then
when you elect to sell that product
under a new or used condition you are
then adding to the list of sellers that
are under that listing so you're not
actually creating your own unique
listing there is a way to do that but
that's not what we're covering in this
video so think of it more as like tcg
player where if you list a drizzle you
join a bunch of other sellers that are
also selling that drizzle now by
electing to choose amazon fba as your
selling way instead of fulfilled by
merchant on amazon you are eligible for
all your products to have prime shipping
on them when a customer goes on
amazon.com and searches for something
the items that have prime with a check
mark next to them are the items that are
in amazon's fulfillment network
therefore your products can get
delivered to customers faster and you
can usually charge more for those
products so that's basically what that
means and when you're listing products
selected by amazon fba that is
essentially what you are choosing to do
with those products if you want to go
try this out for yourself go look at the
listing on amazon you will see the buy
box which is the current price that
amazon is promoting with that seller
under it there's going to be a box that
says c from other sellers and you can
click that drop down and see all the
different sellers anything that doesn't
have that prime with the check mark is
going to be something that is fulfilled
by a merchant and you'll see they're
probably charging for shipping or the
shipping time is longer than one day two
day or same day shipping that's the
difference there and something to keep
in mind when you are listing products
so once you have gone ahead and created
a new product this goes for anything
you're going to want to fill out the
standard price the list price the
quantity the item condition and how you
are going to be fulfilling this so with
this one let's go ahead and just pop in
some numbers
now for amazon fba you're going to want
to select amazon will ship and provide
customer service right here then we can
go ahead and hit save and finish and it
will create a product listing once you
have created the product in your amazon
seller hub go ahead and check mark it
should be inactive out of stock go to
the action on one selected and hit send
replenish inventory once you hit send
replenish inventory you're going to be
brought to this screen i'm going to move
it a little bit so you can see it better
you have the item that you are selling
you're going to want to select
individual units then on the information
or action prep not required labeling by
seller and then in this you're going to
enter units so for the demonstration of
this video we have 230 of these units to
pack and ship once you're done with that
click ready to pack if you haven't
printed labels for your items yet you
can go ahead and hit print all skus and
then print out this page and it will
give you a sheet of all of the labels
that you're going to need to label your
products once you're done with that
label them all you can go ahead and go
to pack individual units
now that you're on this page you're
going to have the items right over here
everything is going to fit into one box
for this one so go ahead and hit confirm
then this is where you're going to put
your box dimensions so for the box that
we're using for this video it's 14 or at
16 by 14 by 12 and then the box weight
is 47 pounds we'll round it to 48 pounds
but once you put in the box information
here confirm it and hit confirm and
continue
i'm going to validate the skus and
confirm the fulfillment centers that can
be sent
and then over here you're going to
select the shipping date so we're going
to do today may 9th
a small parcel delivery
and the number of shipments is one we're
shipping to this fulfillment center
tells you the box contents and then the
estimated charges ups is always going to
be cheapest so just select that one and
once you have confirmed all of that
information to the bottom go ahead and
select accept charges and confirm
shipping
once you've confirmed the shipment and
accepted the charges that amazon is
going to charge you for the shipping
you're going to get two labels one is
going to be the fba label this is
something that tells amazon what's in
the box and the second is the shipping
label in this case it's going to be ups
so take those labels put one on one end
of the box and the other on the end of
the box both on where the flaps open and
that way it's going to be separate and
nice for both amazon and ups to go ahead
and ship your package
when sending items to amazon fba
essentially what you're doing is
creating listings of products that you
have prepping those products labeling
those products then selecting everything
that you list and you are going to send
to amazon and putting it all in one box
that entire shipment workflow that i
showed is a simplified way of doing it
if you're adding multiple items it can
get more complex but essentially put the
dimensions of the box and how everything
fits inside make sure all of your items
are packed nicely so that they don't get
damaged and then go ahead and follow the
workflow and send all the items to
amazon now i'm going to show you how i
would pack the 230 units of commons and
uncommons about 50 pounds and i would do
this then go set up all the shipment
stuff that we've done before let's get
into it
all right so once you are ready to ship
the items that you have listed and on
amazon you are going to get all the
items you're going to need a scale a box
this video is not sponsored by freshly i
just like to recycle boxes you can ask
friends and family for those but you're
going to take all of the items that you
are ready to ship to amazon put them in
the box package them safely weigh it and
take the dimensions so that's kind of a
quick overview i'm going to go ahead and
speed through this process of putting
everything in here but i wanted to show
you what it looks like when i send stuff
so for this shipment we're going to be
trying to do about like 230 of these
bulk pokemon card lots right there you
go that's the product with the uh sku if
you've ever wondered what this looks
like it's just a team bag with cards
inside i'm gonna stack all of these into
there there's two of these 5000 cal
boxes not everything's gonna fit i'm
gonna go ahead and put in this freshly
box then use construction paper to kind
of keep everything in tight and then
we're gonna weigh it so
[Music]
so now we have 230 units in here i've
shipped this plenty of times they're not
going to get damaged so don't worry
about that now i'm going to fill the
edges with construction paper and the
top then we're going to go ahead and
seal it up and weigh it
[Music]
so
[Music]
now that your box is ready to go you've
printed out the shipping labels and put
them on the box it is time to drop that
package off at your nearest ups if
that's what you elected to choose from
or if you use one of the other carriers
that isn't ups you can go ahead and do
usps or fedex whatever works for you
shipping options so very important to
note that the boxes have to be 50 pounds
or under and i believe it has to be in
between 22 pounds and 50 pounds there
are specific dimensions that the boxes
have to be but make sure that you're
packaging everything that you're sending
safely as these boxes go through many
hands before they actually get processed
and put into inventory so that is
definitely something to be careful of
when you are selling products on amazon
you're going to see all of your stuff
get checked in as it delivers to the
facilities once it gets checked in your
stuff will be available for sale and you
can manage all the pricing and whatnot
on the amazon seller dashboard so it's a
very cool platform stuff tends to sell
out quite quickly quickly if you are
using the platform correctly
but yeah this is a great way to sell
your bulk and other items you can sell
sealed products you can sell video games
people have entire wholesale businesses
around amazon fba so this is a cool
website that you can utilize to sell
your pokemon cards lots of information
