Retail arbitrage, the practice of buying discounted products and reselling them for a profit, has become increasingly popular with the rise of online marketplaces like Amazon. And one seller, who wishes to remain anonymous, has revealed how they are making £400 a day with Amazon FBA retail arbitrage.
This seller, who we’ll call Alex, started their arbitrage business just over a year ago. They began by scouring local stores for discounted products that they could sell for a profit on Amazon. Slowly but surely, they built up their inventory and started to see consistent sales. But it wasn’t until they discovered Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) that their profits really started to soar.
With FBA, sellers can send their products to Amazon’s warehouses, and the company takes care of all the shipping, customer service, and returns. This not only saves sellers time and hassle but also allows them to reach a larger audience of potential customers.
Alex sources products from a variety of places, including clearance aisles, discount stores, and even online marketplaces like eBay. They look for products that are in high demand and can be sold at a significant markup on Amazon. And thanks to tools like the Amazon Seller app, they are able to quickly check prices and determine if a product is worth reselling.
One of Alex’s biggest successes came when they found a popular electronic device on clearance at a local store. They bought up all the available stock, sent it to Amazon, and within a few days, they had sold out and made a significant profit. This kind of success story is not uncommon in the world of retail arbitrage, where the right product at the right price can lead to big profits.
Of course, not every product Alex buys turns a profit. They have had their fair share of duds, but they see these as learning experiences. They use the data from their sales to adjust their sourcing strategy and focus on products that are more likely to sell quickly and at a good price.
In terms of their daily routine, Alex spends a few hours each day sourcing products, listing them on Amazon, and monitoring their sales. They also keep an eye on trends and popular products to stay ahead of the competition. They are constantly looking for new opportunities and ways to grow their business.
While £400 a day might sound like a lofty goal for some, Alex sees it as just the beginning. They have plans to expand their product line, hire employees, and ultimately turn their arbitrage business into a full-time income. And with the success they’ve had so far, it seems like they are well on their way to achieving their goals.
In conclusion, retail arbitrage can be a lucrative business for those willing to put in the time and effort. With the right strategy and a bit of luck, sellers like Alex can turn a profit and potentially make hundreds or even thousands of pounds a day with Amazon FBA. It’s a competitive market, but for those who are willing to put in the work, the rewards can be well worth it.

hello , can you do please explain how did you get approved to sell this branded items without invoice?
Hey, once you buy those products then how is the process to send those products to Amazon to sell them?
please can you tell me what app you are using to scan goods with ?
The profit does not include the vat and pre centre fee. so the profit will be very low
Great video! Question, do you remove the supermarket reduction labels before sending them into Amazon's or just put your labels over the top?
Great video but I think it’s really important to look at historical prices and your competition to work out your potential market share.
This is something that a lot of videos like this miss.
Maybe this is something you’ve covered in other videos but the current price and approx spm is a relatively small piece of the jigsaw.
I look to see variations of there are any, if there is a variation I look to see what market share that product has, I then look at the buy box historical lows, I like products where my break even is still below that historical low, I check the average 30/90/180 day and 1 year buy box price, how many sellers now and historically and how the price has been effected, check the buy box stats etc.
All my opinion of course.
then how do you be approved to sell in amazon with a Sainsbury ticket? how do you do it without a proper invoice to sell a brand that is not yours..?
