Let&rsquo;s go over some pros of retail arbitrage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Pros<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Lower cost to start.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/amazon-seller-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jungle Scout&rsquo;s study of more than 1,000 Amazon sellers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 10% of those doing arbitrage were able to launch Amazon businesses with less than $500, and about 26% did so for less than $1,000. By contrast, 76% of private label sellers spent $1,000 or more to launch.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Faster to start.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 25% of retail arbitrage sellers said they were able to launch Amazon businesses in less than one month. Only 14% of private label sellers said the same.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Easier to find products to sell. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sellers have many options when it comes to finding products to resell on Amazon. Compared to private label, finding profitable products to resell on Amazon from retail is typically easier than doing product research for a new product launch.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>No launching a new product. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest benefit to retail arbitrage is that you don&rsquo;t need to launch a brand new product on Amazon&mdash;you will be selling existing products that already sell well on the platform. When you launch a new product, you must spend a lot on advertising and marketing to get the ball rolling.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are a lot of pros to doing retail arbitrage, let&rsquo;s go over some of the cons when following this business model.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Cons:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time-consuming. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to keep your business running, you must be sourcing products on a weekly basis. This could mean driving from store to store and searching for products to resell, which can be tiring and time-consuming.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Not always consistent. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One week you may find a great product at a profitable price point, but it doesn&rsquo;t mean you&rsquo;ll always be able to source the same product. You may not be able to find it again, or the store you bought it from could raise the price.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Price wars. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the downsides of retail arbitrage is that you&rsquo;re constantly competing for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/how-to-win-the-buy-box\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy Box<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with other resellers. A listing you are selling on could have 10+ other sellers on the listing, all competing to get the sale. This is why some RA sellers pivot to wholesale or private labels.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Counterfeit claims. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since you will be reselling other brands&rsquo; products, you may come across a counterfeit claim once in a while from a brand that doesn&rsquo;t want resellers. A solution to this would be to stop selling that particular brand and focus on smaller brands or products that seem to have other resellers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"worth\"><strong>Is Amazon retail arbitrage worth it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, if you don&rsquo;t already have a product to sell or have money to buy products at scale, arbitrage is a great, low-risk method of selling on Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, if you start selling arbitrage, you can expand your strategy to other sales methods:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">36% of retail arbitrage sellers also run a wholesale business<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21% also sell private label<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22% also have a dropshipping business&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11% also sell handmade products<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how does it all work?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"start\"><b>How to get started with retail arbitrage<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you can find profitable products to resell on Amazon, you need to create an Amazon seller account, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">download a product scanning app, and choose your fulfillment method.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1.

Keep in mind that this number can be misleading as it may indicate a random burst of sales that day.

Based on the current selling price minus FBA fees and buy cost, my profit would be <\/span><b>$7.45. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is over a 100% ROI, so I would buy this product!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9_product-details-545x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9_product-details-545x1024.png 545w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9_product-details-160x300.png 160w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9_product-details.png 735w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\"><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 4: Decide how many units to buy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your decision about how many units of a product to buy (if there are a lot of them available) is based on your own personal risk tolerance. For the example used above, there were 22 FBA sellers with an estimated 5,000 monthly sales based on the sales rank. To figure out how many units you can potentially sell in a month, divide the number of monthly sales by the number of FBA sellers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5,000\/22 = 227<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means you could potentially sell more than 200 units of this product per month. Of course, this can vary depending on if new sellers hop onto the listing, if the sales rank drops, or if the Buy Box price decreases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are new to retail arbitrage or selling on Amazon in general, I suggest starting with a small amount of units to validate the product.

Some sellers are comfortable with making a small ROI (this is subjective, but say 20%) as long as they sell the product within a month, while other sellers want to make at least 50% ROI for it to be worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#d0d0d0;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#eaeaea;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><strong>Online arbitrage&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online arbitrage works essentially the same way retail arbitrage does, except you&rsquo;l<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">l search for products on retailer websites instead of in-store aisles. The best part about online arbitrage is that you can do it without leaving your house!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few paid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/online-arbitrage-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">software and tools<\/a> out there that can help you automatically scan through thousands of products but you can still find profitable products going through ecommerce stores manually.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/online-arbitrage-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Make Money with Online Arbitrage in 2024<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"tips\"><strong>Amazon arbitrage tips:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these tips to increase your chances of success when doing retail arbitrage on Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Follow trends and sell seasonal products<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you could go into a store or look around online for products that might be profitable to resell on Amazon, you could also do some research and think ahead for certain types of products you&rsquo;d like to find.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing to consider is <a href=\"\/?p=27181\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">seasonality<\/a>. Try to figure out what products are currently or soon-to-be trending or products that sell more during a certain time of year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, toys during the holiday season or inflatable pools or floats during the summer are extremely popular (and profitable). Since the demand is so high during those times, supply tends to diminish very quickly in retail stores, which translates into an increased selling price online.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the summer of 2020, you could purchase an inflatable pool at Walmart for $20 and resell it on Amazon for $80. And yes, customers <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> purchase a product at that much-higher price point if they cannot find it in-store and really want the item.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you stay on top of trends and current events like these, you will be on your way to having a profitable Amazon reselling business.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Sell discontinued products for massive profits<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has there ever been a product that you absolutely loved but then for whatever reason, the brand decided to discontinue it? We&rsquo;ve all been there, and we know we&rsquo;d pay a premium to get those products back. Some consumers are willing to pay extraordinary amounts of money for products that are seemingly impossible to find.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be thinking, if a product is discontinued, then how can I still find it in-store? Some discontinued products are still circulating in the market and will randomly pop up in retail stores, discount stores, grocery stores, etc. It is just up to you to be in the right place at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips on finding discontinued products:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Shop in local stores, not a big box retailer such as Walmart.<\/strong> A &ldquo;mom-and-pop&rdquo; shop is more likely to carry these random, discontinued items.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Look for items that just look old<\/strong>. I know that sounds odd, but you may spot some products with labels that look outdated, faded, or even dusty.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Look for items labeled &ldquo;refills.&rdquo;<\/strong> There are lots of products in the cleaning category that require refill packs to continue using the product. For whatever reason, lots of the refills become discontinued, but people still really love using them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Go on eBay and search for &ldquo;discontinued.&rdquo;<\/strong> Then filter by sold listings only. This will show you all of the products labeled &ldquo;discontinued&rdquo; that have recently <a href=\"\/?p=28166\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sold on eBay<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>3. Additional tips and strategies when doing arbitrage:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Be patient<\/strong>. Going into retail stores and scanning item after item can become very exhausting. It also becomes frustrating when you aren&rsquo;t finding any profitable products. Just keep going! Eventually, you will find products that will make you money on Amazon.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Base your buying decisions on data.<\/strong> Use the Amazon seller app and the Jungle Scout Extension. You don&rsquo;t want to buy something that you won&rsquo;t be able to sell.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Prices can change in an instant if another seller &ldquo;tanks the price.&rdquo;<\/strong> Meaning the product you purchase may not be profitable anymore. This is why you need to check price history as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Start small to get used to the process.<\/strong> Before going all-in and spending tons of money on products to resell on Amazon, start with a small quantity so you can get a better understanding of sourcing, listing, shipping, pricing, and more.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"list\"><strong>How to list your arbitrage products on Amazon<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next step in reselling products on Amazon is how to actually list your product for sale. Since this is not a private label product, you will not be creating a brand new listing. You are simply going to find the current listing you want to sell on and add that ASIN to your catalog in Seller Central.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that, u<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nlike private label where you will be the only seller of your product, you will end up sharing the <\/span><a href=\"\/?p=13260\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy Box<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with multiple sellers. If you find a product that sells roughly 300x a month, know that you will not receive all 300 of those sales if there are other sellers on the listing.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a couple of ways you can do this, so let&rsquo;s walk through each one.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Option 1: List the product from the Amazon seller app<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you scan a product in the seller app, you have the option to list the product as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/blog\/what-is-amazon-fba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fulfilled by Amazon<\/a> (FBA)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If listing as FBM, you can choose to add in your available inventory in the app so your offer will immediately be available for sale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26354\" src=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/10_option-1-540x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/10_option-1-540x1024.png 540w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/10_option-1-158x300.png 158w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/10_option-1.png 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the bottom right-hand corner, click &ldquo;List.&rdquo; You will see condition, price, SKU, and fulfillment channel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For condition choose &ldquo;New.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pricing section can get tricky so please pay attention to this part. Amazon will have the option to &ldquo;Match Low Price.&rdquo; This may sound like what you want to do but <\/span><b>do not choose this option<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without checking the FBA prices first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-122517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG-1527.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG-1527.png 1179w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG-1527-138x300.png 138w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG-1527-472x1024.png 472w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG-1527-709x1536.png 709w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG-1527-945x2048.png 945w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG-1527-1140x2471.png 1140w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG-1527-855x1854.png 855w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG-1527-570x1236.png 570w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG-1527-285x618.png 285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon is showing me the lowest price for New is $6.72. If we choose this price, the product would not be profitable.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, that is the lowest price for an FBM offer, not an FBA offer. If you look back at the pricing section, you will see the lowest FBA price is $22.39. That is the lowest price you want to list at. If you go lower, you will be the seller who tanks the price and ruins the profitability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I usually set my price a couple of dollars higher than the current Buy Box price. You can always adjust when your inventory arrives at an FBA warehouse and is ready to sell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To help you make more profitable pricing decisions on your products, you can add in your own custom seller stock-keeping unit (SKU). If you leave it blank, it&rsquo;s not a big deal since Amazon will set one for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I suggest formatting your SKU so you know exactly what you paid for the product, where you bought it, and your breakeven price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if I bought the chalk at Walmart for $5.75 and my breakeven price is $14.00, I would set up my SKU as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WM_5.75_BE14<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tells me: I bought it at Walmart for $5.75 and my breakeven price is $14. So as long as I sell this product for over $14, I am not losing money.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next is Fulfillment Channel. If you choose &ldquo;I will ship this item myself,&rdquo; you are choosing FBM and can add your available inventory in the app. If you choose &ldquo;Amazon will ship and provide customer service,&rdquo; you are choosing FBA and will need to set up your shipment in Seller Central (not in the app.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you choose the FBA option, the app will automatically add the listing into Seller Central for you. All you need to do then is create an FBA shipment so your listing offer can go live.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Option 2: List in Seller Central on your desktop\/laptop<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the easier way to list your retail arbitrage products on Amazon.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, I will find the exact listing I want to sell on. Once you do that, copy the ASIN and paste it into Seller Central.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12_additional-information.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12_additional-information.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12_additional-information-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12_additional-information-1024x533.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.junglescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/12_additional-information-1536x800.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Seller Central, go to Inventory &gt; Add a product and paste the ASIN.
