FBA Tip 2: Avoid getting into a pricing war
You will have seen the BuyBox on Amazon. This is the box on all listings on Amazon which you can use to buy an item.
We explain this in more detail in our previous blog post here.
When you win the Buybox buyers will be purchasing your items when pressing the buy now button. You can win the Buybox by providing the most competitive and cheap prices. However be careful, by providing the most competitive pricing it can sometimes be a race to the bottom.
Rather than dropping your pricing try to match the competition. This will mean that you can both share the Buybox, and the sales. If you know what the other sellers stock levels are you can wait until they sell their stock and then you will be the main seller.
FBA Tip 3:Do not be afraid to make mistakes.
When starting your FBA business it can take time to grapple with the different moving parts. As mentioned previously, it is important not to rush into buying an item which may not be profitable.
