Amazon FBA: How It Works

Running an Amazon FBA business is one of the ways to make money online.

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a service provided by Amazon to sellers to automate their order fulfillment and shipping services.

As a seller, you can let Amazon handle all shipping, including returns and refunds, as well as storing products in Amazon’s warehouses, picking, packing, customer service, and more.

As long as you handle the sales and make sure Amazon stays stocked with your products, the rest is done for you.

What kind of online business is Amazon FBA?

You would source existing products and resell them via Amazon, perhaps with enhanced packaging or marketing. Physical Product (Level 5)
Here you would be creating the product yourself – or modifying an existing product – then selling via Amazon.
