Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid When Shipping to Amazon FBA - Part 2

8 Common Amazon Errors & How to Fix Them - Part 1

Picking a Narrow Niche

As a private label seller, determining which category your product will be placed in is one of the first steps in creating a product listing. It’s critical to place your goods in the appropriate category during this phase. To acquire the Best Seller Badge, some merchants strive to categorize their goods in a category with less competition. However, because many searches are limited to a single subcategory, wrongly categorizing your goods may result in you being excluded from important search results. Sellers can look up their product in Seller Central to see what categories it fits under; just make sure it’s related to the one you pick.?

Ignoring Amazon Terms and Conditions

Make sure you read Amazon’s terms and conditions carefully. Ensure that you don’t miss anything or forget any terminology along the road. Your seller account may be suspended if you violate these terms and conditions. This blunder can cost Amazon sellers a lot of money… Especially if your things have already been transported to a fulfillment center! If your account is suspended, you will not be able to mail the things! Worse, you won’t be able to ship them out, so you’ll have to pay the Amazon fulfillment facility to retain them. We also recommend that you go over the terms and conditions if you want to make adjustments to your product listings.

Lack of effort in preparing Amazon product listing

You must prioritize your product descriptions in addition to remembering the ideal keywords to employ for your products. Every listing has a product description field where you must fill in some of your product’s top features. You can either use a basic product description or come up with your own. Of course, we prefer the latter. If you create your own, make it appealing by describing the product as if you were speaking to a potential consumer face-to-face.

You must also include other product details, such as the brand name, colour, and material, in addition to a full product description. While Amazon shoppers frequently inquire about a specific product, they also prefer thorough listings that provide practically all of the information they require.

Ignoring Other Costs

Aside from storage costs, you should keep an eye on additional costs associated with product purchase. If you’re going to source your products from another country, you’ll need to factor in freight expenses, as well as the weight, volume, and sort of product you’ll be selling. Ocean freight services are less expensive than air freight. Some people believe that sea freight takes longer than air freight, although there are sea freight services that offer speedier travel times. You simply must devote time to investigate.

Also, keep in mind that the higher the amount of goods you ship, the lower your freight expenses may be. But, before you order more products, you must first learn to estimate whether or not you will be able to sell them quickly. If you’ll only keep the products longer than they should be kept, buying additional won’t be worth it. Other costs may have an impact on your profit margin if you ignore them. Cutting out unnecessary costs during the procurement process can help you achieve a higher profit margin and even offer more competitive retail prices for your products.
