    Am I pretty much forced to use fake amazon reviews at this point?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Please dont take this personally because I love your GOLD thread and learnt a lot from it but letting family members and friends buy the product is even more morally incorrect then doing a giveaway in exchange of a review. I did the family/friends thing myself once but here are some reasons...

    Hi Biophase, I am sorry to bother you with such a semingly simple question but I still got the biggest problem with finding viable products and bringing value to the market. How does your process look like when you are looking for a need? My problem is that since the chinese manufacturers...

    Thank you very much. I got a RoHs report and a CE report from my supplier. I think they will be safe since the report looks very legit. A few questions are left regarding the report, I hope you dont mind me asking: 1) In the CE and RoHs report are many modell numbers but only photos of one...

    Hey Walter, I have a question regarding toxic stuff inside of the product. In germany we need (atleast for electronic goods) a RoHs certification which shows that there are not more then a certain % of toxic ingredients in the product. Of cause there is a law that it is forbidden to import...

    Yes true, but its good for those who dont give up to quick. The Certification and everything around it is a great barrier to entry for potential "easy-road" importeurs.

    Sorry for the late answer to everyone. I reply each of you in the following: @Walter Hay Yes I've read all the posts of you for CE-certification. The problem is that I cant find a manufacturer with legit certifications. I am pretty sure I bought from a wholesaler with faked certifications. I...

    Hello, First of all I dont really have a question since I dont think anyway can help me, but if you got any advice after reading my text please tell me. I started importing a few months ago. Had a lot of problems on the way but finally "made it" to get a profitable product/niche, which was...

    Wanted to personally thank you and give a little update to everyone. Thanks to @DrkSide I wrote a C&D to the chinese guy and he luckily removed his product from mine. Got a email from amazon this morning, saying that they WON'T remove the chinese product from my listing. Well I told the...

    In germany one can register a name and then there will be a litte "R" in a Circle after the product. Amazon told me if I do this, I will be the only seller for my product (If I dont sell them to other traders) How would such a C&D email look like? I already purchased a product from them but it...

    Thanks for this. So the only way is a "real" brand registry in the country you are selling in right? Is your hijacker shipping with prime? Or does he ship from china? Mine is shipping from China so I got a big advantage but I dont want to imagine what will happen if he uses FBA and goes 5€...

    Thanks Jake, That will be definetly cheaper than a real brand registration. 1. Thats doable. Do you know if the branding has to be printed or can it be a sticker? 2. Same as above. Is it possible that this is a sticker, or do I need to let the manufacturer let my brand name print on the item...

    Hey bio, As you may knew from my previous questions I started selling on amazon not long ago. Since I dont have that much money (still in high school) I cant afford tooling cost and 1000pcs order on a item for 8k, so I had to think about another way to compete and sell my products. I imported...

    Healthy Grocery Deliver For Time Saving?

    HEALTH 
    Where are you from? In germany most big supermarkets got food delivery by now. Couple of ideas: -Post a craigslist ad: You pay X dollar for someone going to the market and buy food 2 times a week for you. -Ask a neighbor kid to do it. -Look into bodybuilding food prep. Even if you arent in...

    Hey Bio, My product is selling really well, also because of the great tips you gave me and others in this thread. The problem is, that I fear to get sold out, since the demand is very high currently and my supplier cant deliver as fast as neccessary. I was wondering if it is better ranking wise...

    Hello Walter, I am selling my product pretty good right now. Your thread helped me a lot. Thank you :) My current problem is, that there is pretty much "hand-work" involved in my product. Also my 2nd product will be pretty similar, and I have to do the same amount of work with two products...

    Thanks for your answer. I will start sending them 2 emails. One after their product is shipped and one after it arrived at their place. I think the problem is that my product isnt a product you become passionate about, just a product some people need from time to time. All of my friends really...
