Do you mean shop i.e Tesco’s/Argos, or do you mean shop as in a wholesaler?

This is called retail arbitrage and is not allowed on Amazon. You would have to sell them as “Used” not New, but when/if Amazon ask you for a proper invoice you wont be able to provide one from a proper supplier. They wont accept retail receipts.

The short answer is NO.
RA is allowed in some instances, but Amazon have very strict criteria to meet.
Some brands will require permission, and yes, yo need invoices, not retail receipts.
Are you aware you also need to be registered with HMRC as self-employed (possibly sole-trader), keep accounts and submit an annual tax return ?
There is far more to selling on Amazon than just buying goods cheaply and selling on.

Sadly its not just Youtube anymore.
Wish I’d kept the link but my news feed on my Google Home page had a link to an online newspaper (don’t think it was a “proper” one) about how someone made a fortune buying stuff from Tesco/Asda and selling via Amazon FBA.
My first thought was must remember that when they hit the forums in a few weeks time…
