Everyone talks about finding leads. Scanning. Keepa. ROI calculators. Cool. But nobody teaches you how to actually buy the stuff efficiently. And that's where most new sellers leave money on the table. Here's what I mean. You find a product at a Canadian retailer. Great ROI. You want 20 units. But the site has a limit of 3 per order. Most people either give up or just buy 3 and move on. I don't do that. There are ways around order limits. Different addresses. Different payment methods. Timing your orders across a few days instead of all at once. I've been doing this for 4 years and never once had an issue. Never had an account flagged. Never been at risk. The key is not being greedy about it. Space things out. Be smart. Retailers care about resellers buying 200 units in one shot. They don't care about someone placing a few normal-looking orders over a week. Here's my approach when I find a solid lead: 1. Test order first. Always. Buy 2-3 units and confirm the product matches the listing, condition is right, no weird surprises. 2. If the test checks out, scale up. Place multiple smaller orders over a few days. Different shipping addresses if you have them (home, office, family). 3. Track everything. Every order number, every unit cost, every retailer. This feels boring now but trust me, 6 months in you'll be glad you did. 4. Know when to stop. If a deal is good, other people found it too. Don't over-order thinking you're the only one. Check Keepa offer count before going heavy. The sourcing part gets all the attention. But the purchasing part is where you actually make or lose money. Get good at this and you'll scale way faster than someone who finds better leads but can't execute. What's the most units you've ever ordered of a single product? Drop it below.

Dollar profit matters more than ROI percentage. $5 profit at 30% ROI on a $15 item beats $1.50 profit at 50% ROI on a $3 item every single time. In Canada, you need that dollar amount to matter because volume is lower.

I just published The Canadian FBA Roadmap inside the Classroom tab. It's a full video walkthrough of everything you need to get started selling on Amazon in Canada: → Setting up your Seller Central account → Getting your prep supplies ready → Why you need a credit card (and which kind) → Keepa, SellerAmp, SellerBoard explained (with links to get set up) → The cashback stack that saves you money on every purchase → Understanding FBA terms so you're not Googling mid-conversation → Sourcing fundamentals → A "What's Next" guide once you've gone through everything Every lesson has a short video (1-4 minutes) plus written notes. No fluff. No 45-minute lectures. Just the stuff you need. This is free. All of it. For every member. Go to the Classroom tab and start with 1.0 Orientation. Work through it at your own pace. If you get stuck on anything, post your question in the community. The people who actually DO the lessons (not just watch them) are the ones who end up making money. Don't just consume. Take action. And if you finish everything and want the full deep-dive system (advanced Keepa, sourcing machine, shipping, ungating, repricing)... that's coming soon. 👀 Drop a comment if you're starting the Roadmap this week. Let's go.

How to Actually Read Keepa Graphs (The Canadian Way) You're in FBA Canadian Academy, which means you're not here to play around. So let me give you something real. I've been doing this for 4 years. $117k/month in sales on Amazon.ca at peak. And I still use Keepa on literally every single purchase decision. Not because I don't trust my gut - because my gut has cost me thousands when I ignored the data. This post is going to save you money. Probably a lot of it. But I'm also going to be honest with you about something at the end. Your going to want to read until the end THE PROBLEM NOBODY TALKS ABOUT You've probably watched some YouTube videos about Keepa. Maybe from American sellers doing $500k/month on Amazon.com. Here's the thing: their advice will get you killed up here. When some US guru says "BSR under 50,000 is golden" - yeah, in THEIR marketplace, that might mean 100+ units a month. There are 350 million Americans buying stuff. Canada? We've got 40 million people. Our market is roughly 1/10th the size. A BSR of 50,000 here might mean 3 sales a month. Maybe. Then there's the 3% DST they tack onto our fees. The harder ungating. The slower velocity on everything. American advice applied to the Canadian market = expensive lessons. The flip side? Less competition. Easier to establish a presence. Fewer sharks in the water. The barrier to entry IS the moat. But you need Keepa skills tuned for Canada specifically, or you're just guessing with extra steps. WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT When you pull up a Keepa graph, most people see chaos. Squiggly lines going everywhere. Here's what matters: Green Line (Sales Rank/BSR) - This is the heartbeat. When the line drops, a sale happened. Counterintuitive but you'll get used to it. Steady drops = steady sales. Flat line with occasional drops = slow mover. Orange Line (Amazon) - When you see solid orange, Amazon is selling directly. They have infinite inventory and will win the Buy Box 90% of the time. Unless you KNOW they're going out of stock, this is usually a "stay away."

This December has been crazy. I hit Personal bests back to back for canada Saturday 8.2k sales! Sunday 9.2k! This is the result of a ton of work and because of that I havent been able to post as much as I want. Dont worry tho 2026 il ne hard at work getting yoi guys ready for next years Q4!
