Because idealy the manufacturer just sends stuff to FBA, pays FBA it's 15% percent, and becomes the lowest cost supplier, right ?
- hga 10y agoThis can be very dangerous, because if for any reason Amazon decides to stop doing business with you, you must pay them to either ship back your stock or to destroy it. A little time with your favorite search engine should find plenty of horror stories, especially from merchants selling used CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, there's been suspicion in the past that false claims of piracy were being used to suppress the supply of these items. And don't they charge for holding your inventory? They'd be insane not to, and that charge might be higher than you can arrange.
