watch the seller univrsity videos for overview of process. this alone will take a while but is crucial to understanding what is actually going on.
if you understand that you will be ready to roll.
start out simple. send in 2-3 sets you are ready to sell now.
something small like microfighters or an item you paid little for.
your entire future selling on amazon will depend on you NOT getting negative feedback during these initial first sales.
a few nitpicky negative feedbacks during your inaugural days as a seller may doom your store. there seems to be heightened scrutiny of new toy sellers at this time of year and even more so this year. if you receive negative feedback you will have little chance to recover by getting positives if you don't have a sales volume established .
it may be a better idea to start selling during the post-xmas holiday period when people spend their gift cards and the expectations for perfection and timed arrival have diminished.
->You don’t have to have each Lego individually packaged in a shipping box within the main box?
only for sets that are very high price or have appreciated greatly (e.g. $14.99 speed champions selling for $75 gets its own box before i send it in to fba.).
.>I hear commingling is bad so does everyone print their own barcode on their Lego? Have you had any customer get angry about the sticker on the box?
for many sets amazon doesn't even give you a choice anymore. no one has ever complained once about the sticker.
>Do you limit how many sets you ship at a time?
as many as possible - more sets = decreased cost of shipping per set. as you will learn, putting together an order in itself is somewhat of an art trying to minimize the number of distribution center and packaging each shipment box like a tetris of lego sets . in the end amazon tells you where to ship stuff. you might have 10x of a set, 3x go to one distribution center, 3x go to another and 2x to another. you have to piece together a large shipment set by set over time adding on to earlier shipment plan going to multiple distribution centers where you can stuff 24x20x20 boxes of items - 30-40lbs of lego at a time (or with a pallet and forklift if you are BTP) or if you have all your inventory listed you can just select all the items you want to convert to fba and make a shipping plan that way even quicker. if you just ship 3 or 4 sets to one dc and 2 or 1 to another -forget it - not worth it to me. using amazon prep? goodbye profit.
again, all this is a little complicated at first .
all it takes is a couple of mistakes during this time of year to screw your store if its just getting started fba and if you don't have a lot of positive feeback to buffer. so keep that in mind before jumping in with both feet.
once you have "the hang" of it, you will wonder how you ever did things the way you did before.
