Our First Time Trying Amazon RETAIL ARBITRAGE (Honest Results)

Have you been wanting to sell on Amazon FBA but don’t know how to get started or don’t yet have the budget to launch a Private Label product? One great method to get started is through Retail Arbitrage. Check out this video for a step-by-step overview of how to get started!

🚀 We’ve never done Amazon Retail Arbitrage before, but in this video we visited Walmart, Target, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Costco and found some profitable products to sell. Using the Seller Central mobile app we scanned over a hundred products and came away with a few that we’re reselling on Amazon for a significant profit.

WHAT IS RETAIL ARBITRAGE?
Arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets, or in other words, reselling.

In this case, retail arbitrage is the process of buying discounted products through retailers (including online retailers) to sell on Amazon.

An example of this would be finding a product at Walmart that sells for $5, purchasing that product, and then reselling it on Amazon for $20. Pretty cool, right?

Some sellers also buy products they find online, which is known as online arbitrage, and the process is the same: buy low, sell high (on Amazon).

You may be asking yourself, “is retail arbitrage legal?” Fortunately, it is. According to the first-sale doctrine, once you purchase a product legally, you then have the right to resell that product, as long as it is sold in an unchanged condition. So if you buy it and sell it as new, the product must be in new condition.

So you are saying that you purchased one of each of these items and then listed them on Amazon to only sell 1 of each item? How does your listing even get seen if you only have a qty of 1 in stock on your listing?

It would be really good if you guys do the same excercise but with online shopping. Doing research from amazon to retailers websites and vice versa

How do you mail that thing with only 3 dollars? It looks to be 8 dollars shipping fee to me.

How do you categorize your Amazon "store" if there isn't a specific thing you sell? Or there isn't a specific product you sell. Just seems like a variety of things you'd offer on Amazon.

Looking forward to see the shipping plan and new workflow. I'm currently still using the old method. I'm worried, because I often have shipping plans with 25+ skus

[LouissaintPouchon]

Very helpful video. But we didn’t check the IP alert. On Amazon the IP alert is very important to keep your account safe.

[Dr-Zafran]

Which seller plan should we choose? Individual or professional as a beginner in online arbitrage? Considering the fact that with Individual seller account we won't be able to win buy box? & with professional we will be charged $40?

Can you please provide us what application you are using to scan and calculate profits?!

Why do you use to ship? Did you get shipping discounts?

My first product reached the fulfillment center and now has the prime badge! Very excited for that but I’m confused on a new issue. There are two other sellers with the same price with also prime. Their prime offers a day earlier and I am getting no buy box sales. One of the other sellers has many reviews, the other has only a couple and I just launched. With estimated sales over 1000 a month, I should expect to get at good portion of those sales daily correct? We are all listed at the same exact price. Please help clarify, I am confused.

For context, I send in this as a test and only have 7 sellable units. The other seller at 6 units and the biggest seller appear to have over 999 units. Any help would be great! Didn’t think inventory also dictated the buy box win percentage

[RiteChoice-gqlq]

Hi, this video was very useful but just one question when you ship these items to amazon fulfilment center what do you put in ship from address? because you bought these items from many stores? Thank you

[acaciamartinez]

Great video but would have loved to see if you had trouble selling the items because at times there could be quite a few competitors and you don’t always have the buy box =\

[theghouschannel]

My keywords are not upto the marks I'm doing g everything but sales is not increasing plz help me out

[isaaczarif]

I follow all your videos on YT. I really appreciate all of the great content! 👍 I have a question for you? What Amazon categories do you recommend I get ungated with first as a new FBA seller? Especially that Q4 is behind the corner? Thanks a million in advance for all your help. Isaac

How do you get around item approval if you’re not buying from a distributor or manufacturer?.. also are you using the Amazon seller app to scan and calculate margins or a different app?
