Although we are an agency that
specializes in Amazon FBA sales it is possible to
further expand your sales channel through FBA deliveries
Amazon
has a system
called "FBA Multi-Channel Service." if you list a product on
eBay , a major auction market, the product sells there,
the product will be shipped from Amazon FBA's warehouse.
there is no risk as Amazon FBA's functionality remains the same and
we accept
returns for items sold on eBay
As an advantage of using Amazon FBA,
we will explain
the use of multi-channel services
there are other points to keep in mind
when using S&K Logistics, let's take a look at them as well.
eBay listing process
Since eBay is an auction site,
many people think that they can only list items in auction format
However, there are three types of listing formats.
- Auction format
- Fixed price format
- Combination of auction and fixed fee formats
These three items can be used when listing items.
In
the auction format
you can select the listing period from 1, 3, 5, 7, or 10 days
With
the fixed price format
you can choose between listing until canceled
This is recommended for those who want to eliminate
the uncertainty of prices in the auction format
Let's take a look at the process
until a transaction is completed
I feel that the listing process on eBay is a little more troublesome than on Amazon
First of all, we will start with the listing process,
organizing the information about the listing product and
arranging materials such as images and titles
The listing process is completed after arranging the conditions
such as category and auction
is that you have to prepare the product images yourself
It is required to register individual products, so
it is a huge difference from Amazon product registration.
Once your listing is complete,
you can manage your auction from "My eBay."
Next, once the bid or order is confirmed,
we will confirm the payment from the buyer
PAYPAL
you can coordinate with Amazon FBA from the next shipping process
In any case,
simply listing the same product
will increase your sales.
Of course, there are some products that are easier to sell on eBay and
some products that are easier to sell on Amazon
there is no doubt multi-channel services
will increase sales
Packaging is key to countering volumetric weight.
When shipping
to Amazon FBA
agency , the products are packed together and sent in boxes, so
in most cases dimensional weight is used.
Some agents use actual weight .)
In the actual measurement method,
the most protruding side of each side of the cardboard will be the measurement point,
compact packaging is required to underestimate the size
to request packaging in cardboard boxes
, there are no countermeasures, but
if the plan is to complete the packaging in advance,
measures can be taken to reduce the volumetric weight.
Even if you don't have to do it yourself,
you can just teach them the standards when you outsource the packaging and delivery work
Being aware of shipping costs is very important
to cutting costs do everything you can.
Relationship between customs duties and customs laws
If you export to Amazon through an agency
, customs duties will be charged later, so
if you are not careful in calculating your profits,
you may end up in the red
I'd like to talk about ways
to reduce or avoid customs duties since this is illegal,
it would be wise to avoid it.
There are no loopholes
in a true business by eliminating loopholes and
establishing a business as a standard, you
can create a true business cannot be imitated by others
For example, this is often talked about, but
we ask the sellers we purchase from
to understate the value
There is also a backdoor method the "GIFT" field
the invoice and having the gift sent
there is a good chance that
this will clear customs several times
I can understand the desire to do it in the name of cost cutting
However, to be clear,
the act of fraudulently evading customs duties
violates customs laws and is subject to punishment.
(Imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 5 million yen, or both)
Additionally, such
as undervalue are of course subject to customs law, so
please refrain from doing so.
It's an unnecessary risk.
If you are considering this as a countermeasure against customs duties,
please consider it from the selection of products.
Tariff rates vary depending on the product,
and some products are tax-free, so
if you really want to reduce customs fees, go for that.
lastly
Here,
we have explained everything from how to further expand
about when using an agency .
the history of cost-cutting measures as well as
those that are illegal,
it can seem
scary to lack knowledge when exporting to Amazon from that point of view as well, an agent is a good idea. .
agents experts in trade , so
they are knowledgeable about everything .
most of them will
kindly give you advice, even if you are using an agent or have
any questions that are not directly related,
feel free to consult with them first.
Considering my own growth,
I am sure that I will get good results.
