🧐 How Should You Choose Products to Sell?
by Seller_z3k8APxGfbQEK
Amazon replied

As you consider expanding your Amazon business to international marketplaces, choosing the right products is crucial. This guide will help you strategically select and introduce products that resonate with customers in new markets.

Why Product Selection Matters

📍 Different markets have unique consumer preferences

📍 Cultural, climate, and demographic factors influence buying decisions

📍 Successful products in one country may not perform well in another

📍 Proper research can uncover untapped opportunities

Step 1: Analyze Your Current Best-Sellers

Start with what you know works:

  • Identify your top-performing products in your home Amazon store
  • Analyze key success factors:

→ Customer demand

→ Seasonality

→ Competitive advantage

→ Profit margins

Consider how these factors might translate to new markets:

  • Will seasonal products align with the target country's climate?
  • Do cultural differences impact product relevance?
  • How does pricing compare to local alternatives?

Step 2: Diversify Your Product Offerings

Cast a wider net to gauge market response:

  • List a variety of products beyond just your top sellers
  • Include complementary items or product variations
  • Start with lighter inventory to minimize risk

Benefits of a broader selection:

  • Quickly identify which products resonate with new customers
  • Adapt your strategy based on early performance data
  • Minimize risk by not over-committing to specific items

Step 3: Conduct Thorough Marketplace Research

Dive deep into your target marketplace:

  • Review Amazon's best-sellers in relevant categories
  • Analyze new arrivals and trending products
  • Identify gaps in product offerings or unmet customer needs

Extend your research beyond Amazon:

  • Explore local ecommerce sites and marketplaces
  • Read industry publications and market reports
  • Consider partnering with local experts or consultants

💡 Pro Tips:

  • Use Amazon tools like Market Basket Analysis to understand purchasing patterns
  • Monitor customer reviews in target markets for product improvement ideas
  • Stay flexible and be prepared to adjust your product mix based on performance

🔑 Key Considerations:

  • Compliance with local regulations and safety standards
  • Packaging and labeling requirements for each market
  • Currency fluctuations and pricing strategy
  • Shipping costs and logistics for bulky or fragile items

📑 Next Steps:

1. Create a shortlist of potential products for each target market

2. Develop a testing strategy to introduce products gradually

3. Set up tracking to monitor performance across marketplaces

4. Plan for inventory management across multiple locations

💡 Remember: Successful international expansion often requires patience and continuous learning. Be prepared to adapt your strategy as you gain insights into each new market.

Profit or Loss?
by Seller_5DwnZw5Pr5Tgs
Amazon replied

Hi guys, I'm very confused here when doing my profit calculation. Please tell me if I'm doing this right or wrong. I'm deducting the expenses from the income and then I deduct the COGS that was £5600. Doing it this way I'm making a loss that does not make sense as I have products that do well that sell for £25+. Can someone help me out here please.

AMAZON AI CHANGE MY TITLE
by Seller_LxKPnzFoXXpVB

i I'm extremely tired of Amazon changing my title. It always adds some attributes that have nothing to do with my product to my title. I have no idea what the criteria for ai to capture these attributes are, but its changes have led to a sharp drop in my sales.

I hope Amazon gives the right to use this feature to the seller, whether it needs to change through ai, rather than arbitrarily changing the seller's title through a bunch of data crawled by ai.

BAD BAD BAD EXPERIENCE

Hi, although I have multiple campaigns with daily budgets over £100, the PPC additions stop once the daily spend reaches around £120.

I'm asking for help to restore it and tell me why.

Flexible Customer Financing
by Seller_Zovt1x5tinPh5
Amazon replied

Hi all - maybe someone can help me understand something I don't see any detail on anywhere:

The Flexible Customer Finance programme (FCF) is a programme that lets your customers "spread the cost of their purchases on goods between £80 and £3000." So I have enabled the feature and it works on some of my ASINS.

But when I look at competitor ASINS I see this feature enabled at much lower price points. (screenshot below)

Clearly this creates a two tier system where sellers in the same category are able to offer enhancements that other cannot? Am I missing something? Has anyone come across this before?

Just a heads up regarding the new version of Amazon Ads.

They’ve switched everyone over to the updated interface, which in my experience has been far worse than the previous one. I’ve repeatedly asked support to revert me back, but they insist the new version is better for sellers.

Here’s what I’ve experienced so far:

Budget updates don’t apply – I change the budget, but it still shows the old amount and doesn’t reflect the new one.

Keyword bid updates don’t save – I try to lower bids, but changes don’t stick.

The "Portfolio" and "Country" columns are not removable, even though I don’t need them. They just take up space.

Column resizing is limited, and when I adjust the widths, they reset after every refresh.

Because of the forced columns and limited resizing, I can't even view all the data I actually need on the screen.

I reported the bugs over 10 days ago, and while Amazon keeps saying they're working on it, there’s still no fix.

These issues make campaign management time-consuming, inaccurate, and potentially costly. If you're running ads right now, be very cautious, there’s a real risk of overspending or losing track of your settings.

If you're also experiencing issues or simply not happy with the new version, please send feedback directly to Amazon. The more sellers speak up, the more likely they are to take action and either fix the problems or give us the option to return to the previous version.

Would be good to hear if anyone else is facing the same problems.

I'm currently taking PPC costs from Invoices within Amazon's Ad Console, but i wondered if these costs were included in the Expenses section of Amazon's Reports Repository Summary

Would anyone know when the new feature called Custom Analytics will be rolled out in the UK?

This tool looks amazing to create customisable dashboards!

Thanks!

EU VAT registration... where oh where to begin!
by Seller_9idPMYuN5lTTl

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has had any good experiences dealing with companies who can set up your VAT numbers and whatever else in the EU countries.

How long did it roughly take from moment of contact to have everything in place?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
