In reply to Khurram. Amazon doesnt require an LLC to sell on Amazon. A wholesaler, brand, or manufacturer may require that you have one before purchasing products. Amazon is not going to ask you if you are doing retail arbitrage or wholesale.

Hi,
Amazon doesn’t require that information and does not care whether or not it is wholesale or online arbitrage.

“If Amazon doesn’t care then why these models are in market. Why Amazon required LLC for whole sale?”

Hi,

There is a confusion between online arbitrage and wholesale model.
The amazon dashboard is same there is no distinguish whether you are doing online arbitrage or wholesale.
Then how can Amazon knows whether the products we are selling are online arbitrage or wholesale.
For example I found a cheap product on Walmart and purchased its 5 units and then send them to my prep center and then prep center send it to Amazon so how can Amazon knows is it online arbitrage or wholesale.
What is the cut of pieces that consider wholesale like if I send more than 10 units then its considered as wholesale.
Could you please elaborate this point thanks.

In reply to Aliza. No, you cannot send a product directly from a retailer to Amazon. If the brand tells you stop selling the product, I suggest you stop selling it.

Hi Brain
Thanks for supporting so many people
Including me all information is very helpful
I have a question can we buy any item direct from the retailer and send it to Amazon? And if I send request for approval and Amazon give me brand approval even after that the owner is texting me to stop selling my product, in such case what should I do?

In reply to Candice.

Hi Candice,

FBM (fulfilled by merchant) and FBA (fulfilled by Amazon) are just fulfillment methods. You can use either for any product you sell on Amazon. If you want your books or other products to be fulfilled by Amazon, you will need to create a shipment within Seller Central and send the books to Amazon. Once they receive them, your items will be live on Amazon.

If you choose FBM, you will need to ship the orders yourself.

We have many articles are how to create a shipment and the differences between FBM and FBA. I suggest going through our articles and learn more about the process. Search on our blog page for the topics you are looking for!

In reply to Jaidee Santos. Hi, The stores you buy from will not do that. You can use a third-party prep center in the US to receive and prep your products. Check out our article on prep centers.

Great article. I’m a co.plete beginner to online arbitrage. I want to start with books first but doing FBA how do we get the book to Amazon to do it? Or can I flip back and forth between FBM and FBA? Ex. I sell a book technically it’s an FBM but if I source a product it’s an FBA, but how do we get it to Amazon to do an FBA style? Or is Online arbitrage all FBM? Or is it also FBA and can you explain this in this sense? Can Jungle Scout teach Amazon Online arbitrage?
