    And when your volume picks up get a USD account at your Swedish bank. That way you avoid changing your USD to kronor and then back to USD to pay your suppliers.

    If you do this you will eventually get crushed for IP infringement. No international brand sells their products through AliExpress, it is all counterfeit.

    from manufacturer to amazon? Yay or Nay?

    HOT! 
    I'd love to send direct to FBA, but I'm worried about 2 things: 1. They start shipping lower quality products. You wouldn't notice anything until bad reviews start coming in and returns skyrocket. 2. They screw up some paperwork and Amazon rejects the shipment because they refuse to pay import...

    The Chronicles Of DDall - A Progress/Execution Thread (Damn $3Mg/$700Knet!)

    GOLD! 
    Brazil is a huge market, but they'd need to make some serious changes before I'd consider selling on Amazon when it opens up. The main problem is their ridiculous customs clearance times and import duties. Waiting a month on clearance is no exception and don't be surprised if you get hit with...

    You will get destroyed by the brand the second they see you selling apparel. Copyright/counterfeit claims are no joke. Well known brands don't sell through AliExpress and you can't even claim ignorance because you said they don't do clothing.

    Selling on Amazon? The MEGA Step by Step Guide to Get THOUSANDS Reimbursed (in 3-5 days)

    GOLD! 
    If you sent multiple SKU's in the same shipment and you see positive and negative discrepancies try to open a "Missing Items from Inbound" case for each separate SKU. Though I'm not 100% sure if that's possible and I can't check myself anymore. If it's not possible you have to keep an eye on...

    Selling on Amazon? The MEGA Step by Step Guide to Get THOUSANDS Reimbursed (in 3-5 days)

    GOLD! 
    Thanks for the detailed walkthrough. Based on your info I just finished step 2 (damaged/destroyed inventory). Literally within 5 minutes I missed a call from Washington and got an email that they are reimbursing me. I guess it will only be $40-60, but hey "free" money. I'll move through the...

    Find a similar product on Amazon and put the ASIN in this calculator: Fulfillment by Amazon Revenue Calculator - Amazon Seller Central. That will give you a rough idea of the profitability if you know (or estimate) the unit price/shipping costs. Keep in mind that you need some room for...

    Just because you will be the CEO does not mean you will know everything that is going on in the company. There are so many things they can do to screw you, creative bookkeeping, keeping things off the books or even simply cleaning out all accounts. How are you going to prevent any of that? Keep...

    Buying established websites?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    There are still terrible websites on EmpireFlippers despite their vetting process. On average they are a lot better than what's on Flippa, but you should still do very thorough due diligence on any site you want to buy there. Especially because more and more sites up for sale (everywhere, not...

    Amazon Made Changes To Review Policy

    This is such horrible advice that I'm not even sure you are serious. Anyone who follows this is 100% guaranteed to get banned by Amazon in short order.

    Biophase - Introducing My Ecommerce/Amazon Business Coaching Program

    MARKETPLACE 
    The main problem with this is that while the combined turnover on these marketplaces is pretty high (though still quite a bit lower than Amazon US) you have to deal with a different language for each country. Providing decent customer support will be very difficult.

    Biophase - Introducing My Ecommerce/Amazon Business Coaching Program

    MARKETPLACE 
    Definitely. Unless you are selling tiny lightweight products shipping will eat you alive. An FBA prepping warehouse will be a lot cheaper and it means less work for you as well. Of course it can be. It doesn't matter where you live. Would it be easier if you lived in the US? Sure, but not that...

    E-commerce + driving traffic

    EXECUTION 
    Never seen those options and never missed them either. That doesn't mean they're useless, but I wouldn't waste time on getting an US account (which could land you in hot water). Just go with interest/demographics based targeting. Use your customer data to create a lookalike audience and see...

    Shipwire: Good or Bad?

    PEOPLE 
    I tried working with them in early 2016. I shipped them some stock as per their on-boarding experience. It took them 3 weeks to clear it and another 2 weeks to ship it back from the UK to the Netherlands (it should take 2-4 days). So yeah, I bailed. Their reviews have also really gone downhill...

    Definitely learn SEO yourself if you're going to do it. The SEO industry is full of people trying to make a quick buck and they don't care at all if they destroy your site in the process. You need to be able to tell the difference between someone that knows their stuff and someone that is...
