@John Saberi hi John I DMer a while back! Let's chat in there
Why your units never sell (and what to do about it)
I see this pattern constantly. You find a product. ROI looks good. Keepa shows sales. You order 5 units to "test it." It sits. Barely moves. You think the product sucks. You don't reorder. You move on. Here's the thing nobody tells you: the test order was the problem. Not the product. Every US guru will tell you reviews determine buy box rotation. The seller with 500 reviews dominates, so don't bother competing. That's not how it works. ---->Inventory distribution determines buy box rotation <---- Here's what's actually happening with high-review sellers: They're not scared to send 200 units. Amazon distributes those units across multiple warehouses. When a customer orders, the seller with inventory closest to them wins the buy box because Amazon prioritizes fast delivery. That seller with 500 reviews? He's winning because he has units in 8 warehouses. You have 5 units sitting in one. Amazon literally can't give you the buy box. There's no inventory to distribute. The test order catch-22 - You send 5 units to "test" - Amazon can't distribute 5 units across warehouses - You never win buy box rotation - Product doesn't sell - You think it was a bad product - You don't reorder - The product WAS good... you just never gave it a chance So what do you actually do? Stop looking at reviews as competition. Start looking at how many other FBA sellers are on the listing and how much inventory they likely have. If there's 1 FBA seller with 1,500 reviews, yeah ... skip it. But if there's 3-4 FBA sellers with moderate reviews? Your 20 units can compete because you're not fighting warehouse distribution against a giant. The analysis happens BEFORE you buy. Not after. Pick battles where your inventory size can actually win rotation. That's how you turn "tests" into actual sales data. Anyone else been stuck in the test-order trap?
Stop chasing ungating. Here's why that's backwards.
Everyone's chasing ungating. Here's why that's backwards. I spent my first 3 months trying to get ungated in Nike, Lego, all the "good" brands. Applied 50+ times. Got rejected 50+ times. Meanwhile I was ignoring hundreds of products I COULD sell because they weren't sexy enough. The day I stopped chasing gates and started buying everything with 40%+ ROI in open categories... that's when the business actually started. Ungating happens naturally. You get invoices. You build history. It comes. But you can't build history if you're not selling anything. Stop waiting for permission. Start with what's open.

The method that 10x'd my sourcing speed
Most people source backwards. They find a product. Check if they're gated. Get rejected. Move on. Repeat 100 times. Get frustrated. Quit. I did that for months. Wasted hours clicking products I couldn't sell. Then I flipped it. Now I spend 2 hours doing ONE thing: building an ungated brand database. Not sourcing. Not looking at Keepa. Just clicking products and asking one question... am I ungated? Yes? Brand goes in my spreadsheet. No? Move on. By the end of that session, I have 50-100 brands I can actually sell. THEN I go to Keepa Product Finder. Put in my brand names. Filter for: - Price dropped less than 30% in 90 days - Less than 10 sellers - Amazon not in stock Suddenly I'm only looking at products I can sell, with stable prices, and low competition. Every click counts. No more wasted time on gated garbage. This one shift took me from finding 1-2 products per session to 5-10. Do this for a month. Your sourcing sessions will never feel the same.

@Monika Hofmeier I don't use Boxem. You can use the brands you already sold or you can do your traditional reverse storefront stalking but your only goal is to accumulate ungated brands
The advice that changed everything
Year 2, I almost walked away. I'd been grinding for over a year. Reinvesting everything. Taking nothing. My friends thought I was crazy. "You left a director job for THIS?" Then another seller told me something that changed everything: "Trust the data you have and just buy more." That was it. Stop second-guessing. Stop looking for the perfect product. If Keepa shows sales, if the ROI is there, if you've tested it... scale it. The month after that conversation I 3x'd my spend. Two months later I saw real profit. Now I'm doing $10K+ months consistently. The unlock isn't finding better products. It's trusting yourself to buy more of the ones already working. What's a product you've been hesitant to scale?
