MenuWhat is the best shipping method to test out Amazon UK from the US?
I created a seller account on amazon.co.uk, and want to send out a small package to test out a product (20 units)
UPS seems to be the most popular, but they're quite pricey. Does anyone know if USPS priority international would work well?

Talk with the folks at MyUS.com about your situation.
Likely they'll be able to provide a simple + cheap way to handle this.
And... overseas shipping is always expensive, so depending on your product, profit margins may not allow selling through overseas Amazon organizations.

If you were given a product to sell on Amazon for a traditional retail company, what percentage of sales would you charge?
You have to see how much gross profit and net profit is there in the product sale. Let's assume the net profit is X then you could ask around 15% to 20% of the net profit. It also depends on how much efforts you are doing and who is paying for the paid ads. It also depends on how much efforts client is doing to build his brand on social media and other channels because if he is doing efforts, there will be more sale of goods.MA

When sending a $17 USD product international, what shipping option makes the most sense? (Cheapest) USPS 1st Class VS (Reliable) recog int'l carrier?
Hello, I am not too sure on the US postal services. But 1 option could be to find a fulfilment partner in the regions you are looking to target and ship a box of your best selling lines (via recognised carrier) and then when the sales come in fulfill locally. For example in the UK, the package you have, would cost as low as 0.65p ($1.20) to ship standard post, if you wanted it tracked then you would need to add an extra £1.20 ($2.50) Thanks SamSP

Is selling on Amazon that easy?
Compared to other business ideas, yes it is easy but it's not 'push-button' as many experts would have you believe (as they pitch you their $5,000+ training/services to help you). Selling products on Amazon is a business and the more you treat it like 'your baby', the much higher chance you will have with success. Also buying products in bulk and rebranding them (this is called 'private label' or 'white label') is just one of 25+ ways to get products to resell on Amazon. For more free information than you'll ever need to get started, check out my resources page at: http://jordanmalik.com/blog/resources (especially near the top under 'Amazon - Free Beginner Help'. Also (if you're interested in a high-quality, low price course to help you along), check out my free review guides/comparison charts of the world's best Amazon seller training at: http://jordanmalik.com/blog/asm and http://CourseComparo.com ....
