Can converting a product to FBA actually reduce sales?

I've recently converted a few small items to FBA because they sold really well. Since sending them into FBA, sales of the items has slowed dramatically. There are no competitors and the price is unchanged. Therefore, the fact that the items are now fulfilled by Amazon seems to be putting off customers. All the items are under £15 so I am wondering if potential buyers are being put off because of the £35 minimum order value to qualify for free delivery. When I fulfilled these products myself, I didn't charge for postage.

Have any of you experienced something similar? Do you think my theory is correct?

The £35 minimum is only to none Prime customers - so I suppose it is possible to see a reduction IF your customer base weren't tied into the Prime system.

You don't have to just offer FBA though - you can offer an FBA and an FBM offer on the same ASIN

Sometimes product does appeal to business customers rather than individual and those customers often do not have Prime subscription therefore it makes that difficult for them to buy.

What kind of item do you sell? Are you willing to share ASIN?

I have defiantly seen this. We usually sell 100-150 FBM units per day but only about 1-5 FBA units even though we have stock. It used to be really good on FBA but over the past couple of years it has gone downhill. I would suggest sticking with FBM if you can
