Amazon

Hey Gang,

I was looking into selling some products on Amazon as a pro merchant. The only problem is my distributor is on Amazon since two weeks. I was invited last year but I refused because Did not have to time to look into and I found that 12 % is a high margin even with CC processing.

Now, my distributor is selling my products at about 15 to 30% of my cost. I heard that they are having sales of 10 products per day.
At lets say $ 5.00 per products profit, so It is days of $ 50 bucks for them. I don't know if I could make even $ 5.00 per product.

My question is: is it worth to try Amazon even with my distrubutor present there?

How are the products ranked when you do a search with a keyword on Amazon?

Thanks for your time,

Intravino

If they are selling their own products on Amazon, they are NOT a distributor. They are just a middle man.

Any REAL distributor will only sell wholesale to businesses AFTER they have performed a credit check.

Save up some cash, and go direct to the source if you want to make any kind of profit online.

It depends much on the time you listed your products, this is how China-Cart.com works, the Chinese amzon.
