I doubt it as you have obviously done no research at all on how Amazon works. Start with the videos and documents in the Seller University

Firstly is your account fully verified and can you sell?
Secondly, take yourself through the Seller University before you list or try to sell anything then come back if you have any more questions

You have done no research at all, there are many many hoops to jump through. Please do your research and learn from the seller university otherwise within a few weeks you will be on complaining you have been suspended fror some reason or another and Amazon are withholding your money. This first suspension for new sellers is usually down to the 3 ASIN check where they cannot supply proper invoices and LOA if required.
If you do your homework get familiarise yourself with the Amazon systems follow the rules you have a good chance of making this a success.
Ignore EVERYTHING you may have heard on the youtube get rich quick videos if you have watched them.

Make sure that you understand fully all that is entailed in using FBA - including the fees which, yes, can rack up, depending on the size of your items. You need to understand all about labelling, packaging etc. and the costs involved in sending your items to the fulfillment centre, storage costs and so much more.

Thanks guys.
I’ll check it all out
You’re right it won’t be ok after the first one and do some research.
There’s a lot to digest.

Helping the new sellers seems to have become a full-time job for the more active forum members since lock down. I hope Amazon appreciate the time that some of the regulars are putting into sorting out their mess (I know, I know…) points to flying pig

I wouldn’t bother selling on this platform, Amazon is not a good place to sell at all, they can suspend you at anytime for anything they deem fit, they can and do withhold your funds for any reason, you never speak to an intelligent human being or anyone that remotely has an understanding of your problem, I would ask you to read through these various posts over these boards to get a better understanding of what the real world of selling is like ln this platform before you commit, if you’re an Amazon seller in their eyes you are guilty of everything and till you can prove your innocence.

Be very careful, I have learned the hard way!
I have been selling on Amazon just a few months & it’s a Mine Field!
Only yesterday I received an Intellectual Property Complaint because I had listed a product that apparently had a Trademark not obvious to the untrained eye, Instead of the seller contacting me and advising me of this they went straight to Amazon and complained. I would of apologised and removed the listing no problem. I would of asked what to look for so I didn’t get it wrong again. So please be very careful there are sellers who want you to crash & Burn!

I would be very careful with Amazon, frankly it’s a con, you may have some initial success but let me tell you that if you send to FBA you had better make sure they sell and in enough quantity, otherwise they basically have you doing all the work for nothing and oh my God the problems and expense if you ever want them returned or destroyeD. They keep you in a never ending and costly catch 22 that you can’t get out of. Beware beware beware
