Amazon FBA - New Seller - Am I Doing It Right?

Good afternoon all,

I am a new seller on Amazon FBA, therefore, I hope the responses I receive are gentle!

I’m just curious as to whether I am completing the whole process correctly, to ensure it is within Amazon guidelines and I am not doing it incorrectly.

1. I find a product from a wholesaler / retailer.
2. I begin listing the product on Amazon.
3. I sometimes notice I cannot list the product against an existing item (I am adding a product not sold on Amazon) therefore, I select the product type I am wishing to sell.
4. I complete all the necessary fields.
5. I purchase a GTIN from GS1 and input this in the Product ID field.
6. I purchase the items I found in point 1.
7. I select “Send/Replenish Inventory”
8. I complete the necessary fields.
9. I send the labels / barcodes to the supplier.
10. I track the item being delivered to the depot.
11. The item is listed as “In Stock” and I await sales.

This is a very brief overview based on the videos I have watched on the Sellers University.

I welcome all your comments and advice (as long as they are gentle).

Furthermore, I now understand that I must be VAT registered regardless of being under the advised threshold of £85,000.00, therefore, I am waiting for my UTR number to become VAT registered, but in the meantime I thought I would gather as much advice as possible.

Thanks all,

Regards
