FBA is just a delivery/fulfillment mechanism. Nothing more, nothing less. You have inventory in an Amazon warehouse, they ship it out for you and take a cut. Nothing inherently scummy about that, they're providing a service maybe you don't want to deal with.
The seminars are different, where they're pitching a whole supply chain/way of business which has a last step of fulfilled by Amazon.
I think FBA is a pretty amazing thing that gives huge market access to small retailers, and it's a shame it's gotten caught up with these ponzi scheme seminar sellers.
- rebootthesystem 10y agoAbsolutely agreed. We use FBA. It isn't the cheapest way to warehouse and fulfill but, yes, it has many advantages. Yeah, the seminars and what they teach are the problem. I know a guy who dropped well over $100K on seminars during a period of a couple of years. Horrible personal outcome.
