Today's guest is the latest coaching student who now says, "I run out of money to spend on inventory way before I run out of great products to buy"   We keep hearing that over and over again from our coaching students!   Today we meet another student who says exactly that after breaking the five figures monthly in sales at tremendous margins!   At any given time there are millions of popular products being sold on Amazon. At first glance you might think there are plenty of sellers selling these items at competitive pricing, but once you understand the fact that Amazon has 100s of warehouses and many of those warehouses are OUT OF STOCK on these items and then you factor in the fact that shoppers who live near those warehouses are DEMANDING speed, then you begin to understand that the opportunity is massive on Amazon for great margins on easily sourced products!   Don't forget to check out our episode sponsor, Sellerboard, our awesome sponsor - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely, accounting for all hidden fees and in real time. Use our link and get a free trial: https://SilentJim.com/numbers    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/GGpAXwfglco   Show note LINKS:   TheProvenConference.com - Learn more about our upcoming August 2026 event!

On Amazon are you more of a "I can't find ANYTHING seller" or "There's more great inventory than I have time or money to buy"?   Why are many shoppers on Amazon gladly paying $30 for an item when the exact same item is being sold for $15 on the same ASIN?   MILLIONS of shoppers on Amazon all day every day are doing exactly that, and they are very happy to do so. Until you understand why this happens so often, you'll struggle with a low margin business that's always worried about "finding profitable inventory".   If you've not yet joined the ranks of those of us who see Amazon reselling as a wide open opportunity that's expanding far faster than any of us can grasp, you need this episode.   There's a reason we have students over and over reporting that they are: ... getting incredible proof of concept within a few hundred dollars spent ... seeing amazing margins on popular products ... selling their inventory at prices well above competition ... waking up to page after page of great ASINs daily ... running out of money way before they run out of great inventory every day   If you don't yet understand how tools like 3PMercury make it possible to simplify this business while finding loads of great opportunity daily, you need this episode!   Riddle: What store shelf ready product is FREE for anyone to take but costs $7-$8 each just a few hundred yards away? Come find why this lesson opens up incredible opportunity for Amazon resellers!   Don't forget to check out our episode sponsor, Sellerboard, our awesome sponsor - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely, accounting for all hidden fees and in real time. Use our link and get a free trial: https://SilentJim.com/numbers    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/YXmJ7yvYBQE   Relevant LINKS:   You can schedule a short one-on-one demo of 3PMercrury here: https://go.oncehub.com/3pdemo   TheProvenConference.com - Learn more about our upcoming August 2026 event!

Today's guest has just crossed over into selling six figures on Amazon at great margins and he's fired up! He's going ALL IN as so many others have done with success!   He's yet another ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who is crushing it using 3PMercury as his primary software to run his business. At one point he says (as so many others are saying), "I'm finding more profitable inventory than I have money to buy!"   He's just the latest evidence as to how powerful this business model truly is!   On the show he shares: How he started with only a few hundred dollars - that's it! How 80% or more of his sales are happening at prices well above his competitors. How he's achieving an incredible 25%+ NET profit margin on his business! How he is now full time with this business model and not looking for another job after being recently laid off. How he has quickly found a list of 44,000 products to monitor with 3Pmercury. How he's doing all this with a very part time effort!   Don't forget to check out our episode sponsor, Sellerboard, our awesome sponsor - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely, accounting for all hidden fees and in real time. Use our link and get a free trial: https://SilentJim.com/numbers    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/cXtfxKDWsFQ   Show note LINKS:   ProvenAmazonCourse.com The comprehensive course that contains ALL our Amazon training modules, recorded events and a steady stream of latest cutting edge training, including of course the most popular starting point, the REPLENS selling model.

Today's guest Geroge Dimitriou lives in Australia and is crushing it selling on Amazon.com U.S. without ever seeing or touching his inventory! He's sold millions worth of inventory at great margins without ever touching any of his products - and it's all "OA" (online arbitrage - aka, online sourcing). He uses a U.S. based prep center to receive the products he orders and has them shipped to Amazon FBA from there - which is the strategy that ProvenAmazonCourse.com students use if they are non-U.S. based students, as well as those who live in the U.S. who don't want to physically have to prep and manage their own inventory.   He's also the creator of AstorAdvancedAnalytics - a tool that's gaining popularity quickly especially among 3PMercury users!   Astro can scrape through massive product lists (i.e. a wholesale list) and find winning ASINs quickly. It's gaining a lot of popularity in our community of listeners so we thought it was time to have George on the show!   We discuss at length the "two steps to success" on Amazon for resellers which are: 1) FIND LOADS OF GREAT ASINS (which is what Astro helps with), and 2) LET SOFTWARE TELL YOU WHEN AND WHAT TO SELL AND MANAGE THE WORKFLOW OF YOUR BUSINESS (which is what 3PMercury does for you).   George will also be with us at the upcoming TheProvenConference.com which will be only the second time ever visiting the U.S. ,but we are excited to welcome him back to join us in Vegas in August - and we hope you can attend as well!   Don't forget to check out our episode sponsor, Sellerboard, our awesome sponsor - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely, accounting for all hidden fees and in real time. Use our link and get a free trial: https://SilentJim.com/numbers    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/fKxuPKhkWGU   Show note LINKS:   Astroadvancedanalytics.com - coupon code MYSILENTTEAM25 to save 25%   PrepCenterNetwork.com - a list of all known prep centers   ProvenWholesaleSourcing.com  - Learn the wholesale sourcing strategies discussed on today's episode   TheProvenConference.com - Learn more about our upcoming August 2026 event!

In our previous episode, we talked about a coaching student who found 3,800 test-worthy ASINs in 12 weeks. Today, I talk more about the TWO different ways to do Amazon reselling.   Depending on your budget and time available, one of the two makes the most sense - or maybe you'll do both!   If your budget is tight (you can't afford to buy the inventory needed to sell $2000 or more per month), you'll want to stick with simpler models to help cover your expenses, but for those ready to go further faster, the door is wide open with 3PMercury to scale at the speed of your ability to be a BUILDER!   Let's talk about it.   Don't forget to check out Sellerboard, our awesome sponsor - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely accounting for all hidden fees and in real time. Use our link and get a TWO month freetrial: https://SilentJim.com/numbers    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/oHJ0Nt96rug     Show note LINKS: 3PMercury.com - Our best price https://3pmercury.com/friends    SilentJim.com/bookacall - Schedule a FREE, customized and insightful consultation with my team or me (Jim) to discuss your e-commerce goals and options.   ProvenAmazonCourse.com - The comprehensive course that contains ALL our Amazon training modules, recorded events, and a steady stream of the latest cutting-edge training, including of course, the most popular starting point, the REPLENS selling model.

It seems like each successful Amazon reeller you meet has a slightly different approach to the collection of software that they are using to find success on Amazon. The question we tackle today is this, "What are the basic tools you'll need in order to most predictably establish and build a beautiful business using the model that we've seen work for literally thousands of our students?"   We discuss the basic starting requirements as well as what you'll need as you begin to scale. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you need to go buy a whole bunch of different software tools as a new seller. More experienced sellers will often have a collection of tools that they are using to help them manage and automate their business. Newer sellers however should avoid the Trap of thinking they must buy all of the tools up front in order to replicate that level of success. Let's talk through what it looks like to start with the basics and then scale over time as more tools are needed. We also spend a lot of time talking about the "crown jewel" of Amazon selling which is 3PMercury!   Don't forget to check out our episode sponsor Sellerboard, our awesome sponsor - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely accounting for all hidden fees and in real time. Use our link and get a TWO month free trial: https://SilentJim.com/numbers    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/-ULLM4PiMpk   Show note LINKS: My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam - Join 82,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!

Amazon released their new FBA fees for 2026.  Keeping up with tradition, Amazon released it in the most confusing way possible. They also claim that their new fees only add 8 cents per unit sold of the average item selling price. This leaves sellers scrambling to calculate how their products and profit margins will be affected.  Luckily, Dave is breaking down these fees on a per size category level and how these will affect you as a seller, whether you sell small or oversized items.  Dave also breaks down the pricing increases for their different programs, namely Amazon's bulk storage program AWD and Multi Channel Fulfillment.  Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction to Amazon's FBA Fee Increases 02:53 - The Impact of FBA Fee Changes 05:49 - Analyzing Fee Increases by Product Category 08:54 - The Effect on Bulky Items and Packaging 11:49 - Placement Fees and Their Implications 14:50 - Additional Fee Categories and Inbound Defects 17:50 - Conclusion and Future Considerations As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, leave a comment down below if you're interested.

The number was up  to 55%.  Granted that this was back in 2022, you'd expect the number of Chinese Sellers to increase.  As of October 2025, the number has drastically lowered to ~30%.  This would normally be cause for celebration but the answer isn't that simple.  A lot of Chinese sellers have been opening up US LLCs to dodge paying taxes in China, where they aren't as lenient with counting expenses against your business.  Timestamps 00:00 - The Decline of Chinese Sellers on Amazon 02:42 - Tax Regulations and Their Impact 05:54 - The Golden Tax System in China 09:03 - Panic Among Chinese Sellers 11:53 - The Shift to US LLCs 14:54 - The Reality of Seller Statistics As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, leave a comment down below if you're interested.

Importing from China, even with Trump Tariffs 2.0, may still be viable today and in the near future.  Today, it still is the best option compared to the other rising manufacturing companies like Vietnam, India, and Thailand.  Compared to America, manufacturing in China is still the best option even factoring in the transit costs and 3PL costs.  However, in the far future, China might not be the country to manufacture from.  We're holding a special Importing from China webinar on October 8th where we'll be talking about how you can find products that still make sense to source only in China (and skip the ones that don't) while getting the lowest tariff rates and more!

Send us a textAmazon has launched a new profit analytics dashboard inside seller economics. It gives sellers detailed reporting on fulfillment costs, fees, advertising spend, and storage. While the data looks helpful, the dashboard also pushes sellers to upload sensitive information such as manufacturing costs, shipping, and off-Amazon advertising. Many brands are concerned about how Amazon could use this information to control sellers and influence competition.Do you want a much safer way to track profitability without giving Amazon your private data?
