Can anyone share with me their experiences with selling on Amazon.   I sold some stuff years ago and am now thinking of listing some items on there again.  I know their policies and prices have changed.  I am getting tired of the ebay fees and more the people purchasing on there trying to scam.  I am wondering if it makes sense to sell and ship self, or if there is a way to send them all items and fulfill for you.  What are the cost benefits or lack off from either way.  

 

 

Thanks for any information or experiences.  

I just realized that FBA now requires bubblewrap for packing legos. The explanation on Amazon is not clear enough and I want to know what's is a properly bubble wrap packed lego? Can anyone share your experience?   

Of course, you can choose to pay and Amazon will do it for you.

PS:  I've searched the forum and can't find a good answer. 

Is that bubble-wrap requirement just for large LEGO boxes, like Tower Bridge size?

I think you are right. I tried to send a couple of MK2 and Amazon requires bubble wrap for packing. Smaller sets don't have such requirement.

Never tried selling anything larger than an AT-AT using FBA which did not require bubble wrap. Do you just wrap the large sets and stick the FBA label on the outside of the bubble wrap?

I think that's just certain items. I had to wrap some SW Black Series 6" figures, but they've never sent me one bubble-wrapped.

No problems around an hour ago buying for FBA shipments.

It hung on me once the other day, but worked fine after a refresh.

No problems here...

Thanks! I think it was down for a little bit this morning. I appreciate it!

Well, things have certainly picked up this week.
