Initial Costs
To start Amazon FBA, keeping expenses down is crucial. Utilize free trials initially, as they don’t incur costs. A professional selling account costs about £30, while necessary calculators are usually available for free during trials.Shipping costs around £15, but this isn’t paid upfront; it’s deducted from your account afterward. For labeling, using your home printer works fine, and the labels cost £6.99. Altogether, the initial expenses, excluding inventory, amount to just under £100.
Inventory Costs
Determining the required investment for inventory varies greatly. Some successful sellers have started with as little as £100 to £500 and scaled to significant figures. However, it is suggested that beginning with £3,000 would provide a stronger position for selling. The key point, though, is to start, regardless of having £500 to £1,000. The emphasis lies in initiating the process and learning the ropes.
