What category are you actually sourcing right now?

A lot of beginners ask:

“What’s the best category to sell in?”

Beauty?

Grocery?

Toys?

Clothing?

Electronics?

Home and kitchen?

Honestly, the category matters less than people think.

A bad lead in a “good” category is still a bad lead.

And a boring product in a category nobody talks about can still be a great buy if the data is there.

That is especially true on Amazon Canada.

We have different retailers, different competition, different fees, different inventory depth, and different buy box behaviour than the U.S.

So don’t just copy what American sellers are doing.

Use categories as a starting point.

Then let Keepa, profit, seller count, buy box history, and your actual sourcing data make the decision.

Curious where everyone is at right now.

What category are you spending the most time sourcing lately?

And what part is giving you the most trouble?
