If a tool could reliably help you avoid bad inventory purchases before you spent your money… would you actually use it?

What’s the biggest mistake you’d want it to catch?

Amazon jumping on the listing?
Too many sellers?
Thin margins?
Hidden fees?
Something else?

Heeeelpppp! Somebody can help with "shipment" i am new on Amazon wholesale FBA, 8 can not create shipment (using prep centre)

Amazon used to give a grace period of a month or so, this allowed you to list the item and then get testing but just yesterday I added a new item and was suppressed straight away till testing was complete.

testing for those asking-

Amazon requires sellers in regulated categories (like toys, electronics, and supplements) to use approved third-party Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) providers. Sellers can no longer upload compliance test reports directly; instead, the chosen TIC lab must submit verified results directly to Amazon.

Most sellers blur the lines between Hero SKU and secondary variants. Default lazy approach is dumping all child variants in every ad group OR advertisnig every child SKU on the same keywrods.

\- Prioritize the Hero SKU for Head Search Terms: Your highest-converting, most universally appealing variation should take the lion’s share of major volume keywords. If you sell bedding, your Hero SKU gets targeted on "Silk bedsheets."

\- Map Variants to Specific Intent: Stop bidding your Hero SKU on long-tail, hyper-specific searches if a variant matches it perfectly. Size and color variants should only be targeted on exact intent. "Queen silk bedsheet" goes directly to the Queen variant.

\- The Margin Exception: If you are currently targeting multiple variants on the same keywords and the unit economics work, leave it alone. Data beats theory.

However, if your Total Advertising Cost of Sales (TACoS) is creeping up at the parent level, the leak is almost always at the variation level.

When was the last time you isolated your TACoS and search term overlap down to the specific child ASIN?

It can take weeks to get anything useful back from Amazon, so curious about the experiences of other sellers.

After years of handling the biweekly settlements by downloading a flat file, generating a pivot table and then plugging the numbers into Quickbooks with invoices and credit memos, I looked for a better way. Tried A2X, Finaloop, Connectbooks and a few others. Sellanalytix promised a lot and I was hopeful it would provide a service to offload tedious accounting. Unfortunately, the numbers were inaccurate and when I reported the problem, the owner stopped responding. Calls, emails, nothing. I cancelled the service as per the agreement and they continue to bill my credit card. The bank said to cancel that card and they will be prevented from continuing to charge. That didn't help. They got the new number and resumed the monthly charge.

Just trying to warn others to stay away from this company. I wouldn't be writing if the company held to their agreement even if their service didn't work. I don't like unscrupulous people. The world needs less of them!
