Vendor Central Invite
We have recently received an invite to Vendor Central and having read a lot of the independent reviews it appears that it may be not a good move. We currently do FBA. Can anyone offer any advice on this or used vendor central themselves and can share your experiences?
Thanks in advance.

From experience I would suggest NOT going down this route. We were VC for 18 months. Attended all the training. Spent a small fortune on VC “better” advertising. Total waste of time. We did not have one single month where the VC account outsold the standard account. Conversion to VC also trashed our listings and they all had to be re-entered.
Of course, You Mileage May Vary. Possibly Neon was just not a good fit.

I too received an invite and had an account manager contact me for over a year to entice me. Now, you must always consider why Amazon is offering this to you (especially if you have certain items that are great sellers 
) and ultimately the terms, as I found them, were structured in such a way that I could potentially lose big and I was not willing to take that risk. After reading all the small print (which you certainly must do), it was not a good fit for us, but each business has to decide for themselves.
Also you lose control of your listings as @Icon_Neon1 alluded to.
