Hi, we seem to be finding ourselves in a downward spiral with Amazon, over the years I am noticing more and more of the payment pie is going Amazons way. Also in comparison to my other platforms, we are finding Amazon probably takes up 95% of my time with how unnecessarily convoluted it is.
We are considering pulling out of FBA, opting out of the programs we are in and going it alone. My question is, has anyone pulled out of FBA this year and if so, have you been wiped out or are sales still ongoing?
We sell low value products, when we were FBM if someone purchased 2 or 3 packs, this was a much bigger profit margin for us however, in FBA even though we sell more, when buyers buy multiples, we are paying full fees on each item sold. (That's just one angle I can see where we are losing out) We could set up FBA Multiple options such as 2 pack, three pack etc but the work involved getting that rolling is going to be huge and on products that only sell for £4-6 I just don't know if its worth it?
Something I am conscious of is that most people I know have prime and only buy prime items on Amazon?
Any thoughts and advice will be warmly received.
TIA :)
