This came up on one of the coaching calls and it is something every new seller needs to understand. You want help. That is good. But if you drop the exact ASIN, the exact retailer, and the exact deal in a public group, you are basically handing someone your work. Especially on Amazon Canada. We are not in the US where some listings move thousands of units a month and one extra seller barely matters. Our market is smaller. Good OA leads can get crowded fast. So ask better questions without exposing the lead. Instead of posting the exact product, ask: "The Keepa chart shows price dropping every time seller count goes above 8. Would you still test this?" Or: "The ROI is 28%, profit is around $9, but Amazon was on the listing last month. Is that a red flag?" Or: "The retailer limits me to 6 units. Would you still test buy or move on?" That gives people enough context to help you without giving away the product. Specific leads stay private. The lesson can be public. If you are stuck on a lead right now, what part is confusing you? Keepa chart, seller count, ROI, Amazon being in stock, or whether to actually buy it?

I am literally just starting - Should I do the prep myself? or send to amazon FBA to do the prep? or FBM?

If I want amazon to prep my retail arbitrage packages, what prep do I need to do? I hear the rules changed april 1st. Do I need a label on each item? or box? Can you put different items in one box then ship to FBA warehouse?

A lead being bad today does not mean it is useless. This came up while we were looking at products that were not profitable right now. Some had 11% ROI today, but last year the price sat high enough to get closer to 30%. Most beginners delete that lead and move on. I would rather track it. If the Keepa chart is clean, the retailer is reliable, and the product has been profitable before, that is not a dead lead. That is a future notification. You are basically telling Keepa: Tell me when the price comes back up. Tell me when sellers leave. Tell me when this turns into a real buy again. That is how your sourcing starts compounding. At the beginning, every sourcing session feels like starting from zero. But if you save brands, track products, and write down sale cycles, you are building a small database that works for you later. Maybe Walmart runs the same sale every fourth week. Maybe a product only becomes good when two sellers sell out. Maybe a brand looks bad today, but has five other products you can source later. The goal is not just to find one product today. The goal is to make every sourcing session leave you with something useful for the next one. Small action: This week, if you find a product that is close but not good enough, do not just close the tab. Ask: 1. Has this been profitable before? 2. Is the sales rank or Keepa chart stable enough to care? 3. Is there a reason to track it instead of deleting it? If yes, track it and add the brand to a sheet. What is one product or brand you almost ignored that might be worth tracking instead?

Hi, payment receipts from retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Dollarama accepted for invoice approval in Amazon FBA?
