It's finally here. A company that is devoted to make listing your FBA items faster and easier. They are called FBAPower.com.
I've been using them for about a month, and I've been very impressed! Here's how it works:
1) Scan the item in
2) Quickly pick the condition and price
3) Print out the individual FBA label
4) Put the items in a box
5) DONE!
Here are some videos to see FBAPower in action:
Hi – I was given your Selling FBA book from an old high school classmate of yours. Very interesting and intriguing. I plan on getting all up and running by October. I am excited to see there is now listing software specifically for FBA users. Do you have a small business accounting software that you prefer? Also, I have been to neato scanners online but can’t decide if I want an attached plug-in scanner or a separate, handheld one. I would think that the plug-in would be easier, right? Thanks for the great information!
Oh, and after your last sale in June you said that you took in about $800 after fees. Is that also after the roughly $200 that you spent on inventory?
Thanks,
Jessica
Jessica,
I do not use accounting software – just good old fashion excel for me.
Yes, I prefer the plug in scanner as well. If you look on eBay you would probably get a nice deal for a used one.
Yes, the $800 includes the $200 spent on inventory – so it would be an $800 profit after everything sells.

How long would you expect it to take to sell all the books and how much would you incur in Amazon’s storage fees over that timeframe? The boxes look like about 2 x 1 x 1 — so that’s 2 cu ft per box? And they charge by the cu foot. What % of books would do you really think would sell in, say, a 24-month period?
Wayward,
It all depends on the Amazon rank of the books you send in. If they all have a rank of below 1 million – I would say that 95% will sell within 24 months.
Amazon charges around 40 cents per cubic foot per month. The average book is around .03 cubic feet.
