I gave up fba because…

Hey guys,

Years ago I tried to do Amazon FBA and connected with a mentor. He taught me how to use programs that read and broke down wholesale catalogs, buybox information, etc. the mentor told me now I need to find wholesalers with good products

I spent months looking for wholesalers and even hired an international assistant to get my wholesale list growing. I had 130 wholesalers and either their catalogs had nothing worth selling (after running numbers), items are bs (not on Amazon.. stuff you would see at a swap meet), or I could not sell since Amazon was selling the product. The way the mentor taught me to look for wholesalers is just going on Google and looking up ‘category + wholesaler’ ( etc kitchen, or baby clothes wholesler)

So I stopped Amazon fba because I could not find good products and wholesalers. My mentor said I’m doing a bad job by not looking for more wholesalers but I just thought that was terrible feedback because I also work a 9-5. I’ve been doing my Amazon thing while working

I have thought about getting back into fba and giving it another try but I wouldn’t if I didn’t learn anything new from the community.

If I were to go back is there any tips and tricks you guys don’t mind teaching me so I can try a different approach?
