Selling FBA & Fulfilled by Merchant
I currently sell FBA in the UK but want to sell my products fulfilled by merchant in other countries.
However, if I make my product fulfilled by merchant in France, it changes my UK marketplace to fulfilled by merchant too.
Is there a way to be able to get around this? Is anyone else doing this?

It’s better to use the down arrow in your inventory and select “add another condition”, making that your FBM offer. It’ll have a different SKU which will stop your FBA offer changing.
Make sure you are aware of all the things that come with shipping abroad.

If you use a 3rd party stock control system then it’s possible to list both FBA and MFN on the same SKU.
It’s generally better for your sanity if you use two separate SKUs though, it’s easiest if you make the second SKU the same as the first with a suffix, i.e. if the FBA SKU is 123abc then the new SKU would be 123abc-MFN, again this is more for your own sanity than anything else.
As Demel said, select the “add another condition” option, select the same condition (I’d assume “new”?) and then pick the option to despatch the product yourself (MFN).
Bear in mind that your MFN offers cannot be priced below your FBA offer by too much (there’s no fixed figure as to what “too much” is) otherwise you automatically lose the buy-box on that listing.
