Behind this is a whole range of services that the e-commerce giant offers to sellers on its marketplace. Merchants can book these services as a package and thus delegate the majority of the tasks involved in fulfillment to Amazon. The FBA business has thus become one of the most popular business models among marketplace sellers, as it makes selling on Amazon incredibly easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-260731-identifier\">However, those who want to start with Amazon FBA should inform themselves well in advance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/fulfilled-by-amazon-who-is-amazon-fba-suitable-for\/\">The service is not suitable for every seller<\/a> and not everyone finds participation economically worthwhile. Nevertheless, there is a reason why the service is so popular: With the FBA program, Amazon has enabled sellers to meet the high standards of the e-commerce giant without additional effort. A tremendous relief for many sellers, and for others, it is the opportunity to expand their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-184837-identifier\">In this blog post, we want to clarify the important basics and then dive deeper into the topic of &#8220;FBA at Amazon&#8221;: What costs do merchants need to plan for, how does the processing of orders work, and when is it worthwhile for merchants to use the service?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-591615-identifier\" id=\"amazon-fba-was-ist-das\">Amazon FBA: What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-279742-identifier\">&#8220;Fulfillment by Amazon&#8221; refers to the in-house fulfillment service of the online giant. Marketplace sellers can book this service for a fee. Then Amazon takes care of all the logistical steps necessary to process an order for FBA products. These include, among other things,<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"theme-block-list\">\n<ul class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-list desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-7940-identifier\">\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-836016-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">the storage of the items,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-980899-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">the assembling of orders,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-371137-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">the packaging of the items,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-490925-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">the shipping to the customer,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-259688-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">the customer service in the local language as well as<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-850940-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">the returns management and returns processing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-263669-identifier\">To do this, FBA sellers send their goods to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/3000-robots-0-humans-7-interesting-facts-about-amazons-fulfillment-centers-locations\/\">Amazon logistics center<\/a>, from where the shipping retailer initiates all further steps. This also includes, for example, the demand-based distribution of the inventory to the other logistics centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-909770-identifier\" id=\"durch-amazon-fba-wird-kaum-erfahrung-in-logistik-benotigt\">With Amazon FBA, little experience in logistics is required<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-804715-identifier\">For many Amazon sellers, FBA has clear advantages: They can build a large product range even as a small company that may only have a handful of employees or little experience in e-commerce, and gain access to millions of customers solely through Amazon FBA in Germany. This is because using the service also automatically enrolls them in the Prime program, which is particularly popular with customers due to the fast shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-233231-identifier\">Many users even primarily order Prime products and filter out other offers in the search results. While there is also the option to sell on Amazon without FBA but with Prime status, merchants must first prove that they can meet the high standards with their in-house logistics. For many smaller sellers, this would be impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"theme-wp-block theme-block-card-posts gb-responsive-407428-identifier layout-vertical-cards-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wrap-inner-blocks\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card \">\n\t<div class=\"inside-wrap-card\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cover-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"background-thumbnail has-image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/what-is-special-about-the-amazon-fba-service-and-what-experiences-do-sellers-have-with-it\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"405\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/23142807\/amazon-fba-starten-thumbnail.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sollten Sie Amazon FBA starten?\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wrap-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/what-is-special-about-the-amazon-fba-service-and-what-experiences-do-sellers-have-with-it\/\">What is special about the Amazon FBA service and what experience do sellers have with it?<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrap-excerpt\">What experience do Amazon sellers have with Fulfillment by Amazon? And what is actually special about this service? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/what-is-special-about-the-amazon-fba-service-and-what-experiences-do-sellers-have-with-it\/\">In this blog post, we have summarized the main advantages, but also the biggest disadvantages<\/a>.<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-210484-identifier\" id=\"amazon-fba-ist-keine-anleitung-zum-gelddrucken\">Amazon FBA is not a guide to printing money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-881459-identifier\">Becoming an FBA seller on Amazon is relatively easy compared to building an online shop. However, merchants also expose themselves to the tough demands of the American corporation. The gold rush mentality that prevailed among marketplace sellers a few years ago is long gone. Nowadays, it requires a lot of work and some expertise to make money with Amazon FBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-244180-identifier\">This is largely due to the high competitive pressure that exists in the marketplace, especially since the corporation itself also participates as a seller. Many products are now offered by multiple merchants, so there is competition not only between different products but also for the same product. In particular, the so-called Buy Box is highly competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"theme-wp-block theme-block-card-posts gb-responsive-358517-identifier layout-vertical-cards-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wrap-inner-blocks\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card \">\n\t<div class=\"inside-wrap-card\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cover-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"background-thumbnail has-image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/amazon-fba-or-dropshipping-which-is-the-better-choice\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"405\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/23142836\/amazon-fba-versus-dropshipping-thumbnail.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Amazon FBA versus Dropshipping \u2013 was ist besser geeignet f\u00fcr Amazon?\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wrap-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/amazon-fba-or-dropshipping-which-is-the-better-choice\/\">Amazon FBA or Dropshipping \u2013 which is the better choice?<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrap-excerpt\">An alternative to Amazon FBA is dropshipping.

While Private Label is offered by only one seller, branded goods usually consist of well-known brands whose products are resold by multiple resellers. However, not every seller gets their own offer page; instead, all providers are collected on the same product listing. Only those who are in the Buy Box at the time of a sale receive the order.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image gb-responsive-827278-identifier\">\n<figure class=\"theme-wp-block aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"844\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142936\/fba-amazon-844x496.png\" alt=\"The FBA program from Amazon is a gateway for many sellers.\" class=\"wp-image-1237\" title=\"The FBA program from Amazon is a gateway for many sellers.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142936\/fba-amazon-407x239.png 407w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142936\/fba-amazon-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142936\/fba-amazon-844x496.png 844w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142936\/fba-amazon-1536x902.png 1536w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/23142936\/fba-amazon-2048x1203.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-232885-identifier\">This transport bag for smaller pets is sold by two different sellers. However, only one can be in the Buy Box \u2013 currently, this is the seller &#8220;Mariot&#8221;. The second provider named &#8220;Highfunny&#8221; is only mentioned further down and quite inconspicuously. Since 90% of users shop through the Buy Box, this seller usually has the disadvantage unless they win the Buy Box. As is also evident, while Mariot sells the product, it is shipped by Amazon. So FBA is being used for this product by the current seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-23034-identifier\" id=\"der-algorithmus-bevorzugt-fba-handler-in-der-buy-box\">The algorithm favors FBA sellers in the Buy Box<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-550969-identifier\">One could speculate that Mariot is in the Buy Box primarily because he uses Fulfillment by Amazon, as such sellers are favored over their colleagues who only use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/amazon-fbm\/\">Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM)<\/a>. However, an important factor in the battle for the Buy Box is the overall seller performance, which also includes shipping speed and the quality of customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-644484-identifier\">Amazon naturally gives FBA sellers the highest rating in these areas, as the e-commerce expert itself takes on these tasks. Delivering the same performance as an FBM seller is nearly impossible or at least very difficult to achieve. Therefore, as a seller of branded goods, it is almost essential to work with Amazon FBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-795398-identifier\" id=\"vorteile-von-fba\">Advantages of FBA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-397720-identifier\">In summary, the following advantages of FBA can be highlighted:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"theme-block-list\">\n<ol class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-list desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-78902-identifier\">\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-194205-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">Products offered through FBA receive a Prime logo. With Prime status, you gain access to the most affluent target audience on Amazon \u2013 the Prime subscribers. Worldwide, Amazon has 200 million subscribers (as of 2021), including around 35 million users in Germany alone (as of 2019).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-370893-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">Shipping, returns, and customer service come from a single source.

FBA offers are favored by the Amazon algorithm, and you receive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/the-14-key-criteria-for-winning-the-buy-box-on-amazon-and-how-to-keep-your-metrics-in-check\/\">the Buy Box Share<\/a> significantly faster and easier than with FBM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-101581-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">When you start on Amazon, you first have to prove that you are a &#8220;good&#8221; seller. The probation period lasts 90 days. Before that, you will not receive any Buy Box even for your own brand products, meaning there is no direct competition on the product detail page. With FBA, this probation period is eliminated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-964473-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/how-to-how-to-successfully-use-amazon-to-expand-internationally\/\">Internationalization is easier with FBA<\/a>, as many processes are directly covered by the program.

However, for better cost monitoring, you receive a detailed overview and can calculate expenses much more accurately. You can avoid high costs by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/6-tips-on-how-to-kickstart-your-amazon-fba-product-research\/\">paying attention to weight and dimensions during product research<\/a>. Because just a few millimeters or grams less can determine the level of FBA costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-506074-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">Certain product groups, such as flammable materials, some food items, or luxury goods, are not shipped through FBA. However, you have the option to rely on your own shipping methods like FBM (Fulfillment by Merchant) or Seller Fulfilled Prime. Seller Fulfilled Prime is treated the same as FBA when it comes to the allocation of Buy Box shares and makes sense especially when you are competing with other sellers for the Buy Box.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-903370-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">As an FBA seller, you have no direct contact with the customer. If returns occur, which is not uncommon on Amazon, the interests of the buyers are prioritized. What can you do about it? Offer quality products, take the time to provide all necessary information on the product page for items that require explanation, and play by Amazon&#8217;s rules. If you offer products that are often returned (e.g., clothing or shoes), take this into account in your cost calculations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-14561-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">A significant disadvantage is the loss of control. This means you have no overview of inventory movements and cancellations of purchased goods. At the same time, errors occur in Amazon&#8217;s warehouses that can cost you a lot of money. Goods can be lost, damaged, or not even recorded in the inventory. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/the-6-biggest-amazon-fba-mistakes-and-how-sellers-can-successfully-seek-compensation\/\">A manual check<\/a> would take too much time. Many errors often go unnoticed and are not always communicated by Amazon. You are even responsible for reporting the errors to Amazon in order to receive a refund. What can you do about it? A manual check is only possible up to a very small inventory size and still takes a lot of time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/amazon-lost-and-found\/\">SELLERLOGIC Lost &amp; Found<\/a> takes over the search, even reports errors retroactively, and prepares all communication with Amazon. In addition to errors that occur in the outbound process, in the warehouse, or in fee calculation, Lost &amp; Found also captures errors of the case type <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/sending-fba-goods-to-amazon-how-to-ensure-your-inbound-shipment-arrives-safely-at-the-warehouse\/\">Inbound Shipment<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-640879-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">FBA leads to a certain dependence on Amazon. The marketplace is already the most lucrative sales channel for many sellers today. However, what holds true today can completely change tomorrow. Therefore, you need to be aware that another channel for distributing your goods should be available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-300700-identifier\" id=\"amazon-fba-kosten-und-gebuhren\">Amazon FBA: Costs and Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-767671-identifier\">Of course, the FBA service from Amazon Germany is not offered out of pure goodwill. The company wants to profit from it and therefore charges additional Amazon FBA fees alongside the mandatory selling fee. These fees particularly depend on the storage location, product type, dimensions, and weight of the item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-277325-identifier\">In addition, using Amazon FBA incurs additional storage costs per cubic meter per month. But beware! The storage fees increase for goods stored for more than 365 days to 170 euros per month per cubic meter. Starting from May 15, 2022, an additional charge of 37 euros per cubic meter will also be applied for a storage duration of 331 to 365 days. This applies to all categories except:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"theme-block-list\">\n<ul class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-list desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-841872-identifier\">\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-168869-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">clothing, shoes, and bags,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-285661-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">suitcases, backpacks, and bags as well as<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-693177-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">watches and jewelry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-quote gb-responsive-552951-identifier desktop-icon-size-2 xl-icon-size-2 lg-icon-size-2 md-icon-size-2 sm-icon-size-2 desktop-bg-style-circle xl-bg-style-circle lg-bg-style-circle md-bg-style-circle sm-bg-style-circle desktop-gb-has-icon xl-gb-has-icon lg-gb-has-icon md-gb-has-icon sm-gb-has-icon is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-1320-identifier\"><span style=\"font-size:0.9em\" class=\"has-font-size\">Tip for the clever: Amazon does offer an FBA calculator, but only for shipping costs. However, some others have filled this gap and developed such pricing calculations for the FBA-related Amazon fees, e.g., Shopdoc.

Because in case of non-compliance, Amazon reserves the right to reject improperly packaged products. That would be frustrating, expensive, and waste unnecessary time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-391022-identifier\">Therefore, Amazon FBA sellers should review the <a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.de\/gp\/help\/external\/G200141500?language=de_DE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">packaging guidelines<\/a> before sending their goods. For example, the individual parts of an SKU must be contained in a single package, each unit must be labeled with a scannable barcode, and the packaging must have a clear product designation. For special products such as <a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.de\/gp\/help\/external\/help.html?itemID=200280160&amp;language=de_DE&amp;ref=efph_200280160_cont_G200141500\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">fragile goods<\/a>, Amazon also requires FBA packaging that takes this circumstance into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-215734-identifier\" id=\"mit-amazon-fba-schritt-fur-schritt-expandieren-pan-eu-und-usa\">Expand step by step with Amazon FBA: Pan EU and USA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-761141-identifier\">Merchants tap into a huge market with Amazon FBA in Germany alone \u2013 but this is far from the end of the line. The American company has recognized that international sales can also be profitable. With the Pan EU program, Amazon FBA sellers can become global players \u2013 and relatively easily. Products can be stored in the European Amazon logistics centers and shipped from there. Sellers can easily specify which marketplaces they want to serve in their seller account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-555673-identifier\">However, for entering the FBA business or for small companies, the European Fulfillment Network (EFN) is more suitable. In this case, the goods are stored in local logistics centers and shipped across Europe from there. A key advantage of EFN over the Pan EU program is that sellers only need to be tax registered in the country of storage, not in the destination country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-690773-identifier\">But that&#8217;s not all. Through FBA, sellers can connect to Amazon USA, the largest online marketplace in the world. The sales potential is enormous, and the legal hurdles are smaller than many think. Anyone looking to make money with an Amazon FBA business should not miss this opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"theme-wp-block theme-block-card-posts gb-responsive-49173-identifier layout-vertical-cards-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wrap-inner-blocks\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card \">\n\t<div class=\"inside-wrap-card\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cover-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"background-thumbnail has-image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/cross-border-e-commerce-with-amazon-how-to-succeed-in-international-sales\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"405\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/15150227\/international-verkaufen-auf-amazon-thumbnail.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"International verkaufen auf Amazon \u2013 Cross-Border E-Commerce f\u00fcr Einsteiger.\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wrap-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/cross-border-e-commerce-with-amazon-how-to-succeed-in-international-sales\/\">Cross-Border E-Commerce with Amazon: How to Succeed in International Sales<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrap-excerpt\">In addition to the pan-European program, Amazon has created other options to sell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/cross-border-e-commerce-with-amazon-how-to-succeed-in-international-sales\/\">outside of Germany<\/a>.

With Amazon FBA, you have perfect starting conditions to fully concentrate on the growth of your business.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-807493-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">Want to attract the most affluent target group. Worldwide, Amazon has 200 million Prime subscribers, with a tendency to continue rising. This target group primarily shops online on Amazon and is also willing to spend more money because the service is trustworthy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-686490-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">Also wants to reach a purchase conclusion faster with niche products. For several years, Amazon has been increasingly working to offer such products that potential buyers would prefer to buy from competitors, such as handmade items, food, eco-products, etc. This way, the online giant aims to secure its position as THE search engine and THE marketplace for everything.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-314080-identifier\"><strong>Potential of Amazon FBA in the Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-594574-identifier\">You have probably wondered whether Amazon FBA still has potential in the future. Because Amazon sellers often hear that the marketplace is already &#8220;overcrowded.&#8221; Many fear that no profits can be made anymore and hold Chinese providers of cheap products partly responsible for this. But is it really that hopeless?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-36932-identifier\">Customer satisfaction is of the highest priority for Amazon, with product quality also playing a significant role. Thus, sellers or companies that sell high-quality products have a clear advantage, and providers of cheap products cannot keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-454240-identifier\">One must not forget that Amazon&#8217;s share of online retail in Germany has been over 50% since 2020 \u2013 a clear dominance. Furthermore, the e-commerce giant is continuously opening more new marketplaces worldwide and expanding steadily. This means more potential customers and more sales opportunities for FBA sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-427258-identifier\">Of course, there are currently many sellers on the platform. Nevertheless, this does not mean that it is too late to successfully enter the FBA business, as the demand is also extremely high and is likely to continue growing internationally in the future. And regarding the competition with other providers, you can increase your chances of success by focusing on good product quality from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-515456-identifier\"><strong>Overview: Entering the FBA Business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-372047-identifier\">Have you weighed all the pros and cons and decided on the Amazon FBA program? Then you can next deal with the necessary steps. Before you even become an FBA seller, several things should be taken care of in advance. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"theme-block-list\">\n<ol class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-list desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon gb-responsive-770955-identifier\">\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-513207-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">the business registration (necessary for a professional seller account),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-4069-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">the application for tax numbers,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-960301-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">the opening of a business account (recommended) and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-690712-identifier desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-no-icon xl-gb-has-no-icon lg-gb-has-no-icon md-gb-has-no-icon sm-gb-has-no-icon\">the application for the EORI number (necessary only for import).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-324857-identifier\">Next, everything revolves around the actual Amazon FBA business.

marketplace sellers really use? 12 recommendations for merchants<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wrap-excerpt\">Without one or another tool, hardly any seller will be able to operate their FBA business. For almost every problem, there is also suitable software. But which ones are useful? We have compiled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/which-amazon-fba-tools-can-marketplace-sellers-really-use-12-recommendations-for-sellers\/\">nine useful Amazon FBA tools<\/a>.<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-282308-identifier\" id=\"fazit-amazon-fba-kleines-startkapital-grosse-moglichkeiten\">Conclusion: Amazon FBA \u2013 small starting capital, great opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-397863-identifier\">Yes, Amazon FBA also has disadvantages. Sellers transfer the entire fulfillment including customer service to the online giant and thereby forfeit, for example, the opportunity to engage directly with their customers. However, when it comes to winning the Buy Box, sellers have more or less no other choice but to use Fulfillment by Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-885192-identifier\">On the other hand, the program has just as many advantages. Not only does it greatly ease the work of sellers \u2013 especially for the many sellers who operate Amazon FBA as small businesses, the program is immensely important. Many larger companies also appreciate that shipping with Amazon is fast and smooth, the costs for building or renting a warehouse are eliminated, and customer service operates around the clock. It is only through this that many sellers are even able to sell successfully on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-483189-identifier\">It is still quite possible today to run a business <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/de\/blog\/profitabel-auf-amazon-verkaufen\/\">profitably on the online marketplace<\/a>. However, it is necessary to deal with the fees, such as what storage costs and shipping fees are incurred, and to correctly include these in the calculations. Proper product research is also essential. Once the business is running in Germany, nothing stands in the way of expansion to Europe or even the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-984557-identifier\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"theme-wp-block schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1613389949761\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is Amazon FBA?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is the online giant&#8217;s in-house logistics program. When marketplace sellers book this service, Amazon takes over the entire fulfillment process. This includes both storage and the picking and packing of orders, as well as shipping and returns management. Even customer service is then handled by Amazon. Many sellers use FBA as it increases their chances of winning the Buy Box.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1613390317878\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What does Fulfillment by Amazon cost?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The fees for the FBA service are not flat-rate but are calculated based on the size and weight of the product and are divided into storage and shipping fees. From January to September, the storage costs, for example, amount to \u20ac15.60 per m<sup>3<\/sup>and month.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1613390940808\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How high is the shipping fee for FBA?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Currently, the shipping fees per sold unit range between \u20ac0.80 and \u20ac30.60, depending on dimensions, weight, and destination.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1613391171674\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">For which online sellers is Amazon FBA worthwhile?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Fulfillment by Amazon is worthwhile, for example, for smaller sellers who do not have their own storage space or logistics. But larger sellers should also consider FBA, as using the service can significantly influence the profit of the Buy Box. For heavy, bulky products or those that sell slowly, FBA is not always suitable.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-882723-identifier has-small-font-size\">Image credits in the order of the images: \u00a9 erikdegraaf \u2013 stock.adobe.com \/ Screenshot @ Amazon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Last updated on 29.07.2022) Most merchants are likely familiar with it: Fulfillment by Amazon, or in German &#8220;Versand durch Amazon&#8221;.
