Amazon FBA Lead Lists: Friend or Foe?
Amazon FBA Lead Lists: A Risky Proposition for Sellers Selling on Amazon FBA can be lucrative, but many sellers seek shortcuts to success. One such shortcut is using product lead lists, which promise to identify profitable products. However, a recent video by e-commerce expert lukebasha warns against this practice. "Why you shouldn’t trust a product lead list when selling on Amazon FBA," he states in his video. According to lukebasha, these lists often lead to intense competition, as many sellers use the same resources, resulting in a "race to the bottom" for the buy box. He explains that this creates a scenario where numerous sellers are vying for the same customers with identical products, reducing profit margins for everyone. The lack of product differentiation makes it a challenging market to succeed in. While the buy box does fluctuate, the overall effect is a significant decrease in individual seller success. The video highlights the importance of independent research and product differentiation in the Amazon FBA market. It serves as a valuable lesson for aspiring sellers, emphasizing the need for strategic planning and competitive analysis rather than relying on potentially misleading lead lists.
