EcomCrew - Amazon favors the new

Hey Reader,

There’s a major change in Amazon FBA, and it looks like good news with no catch.

That is if you qualify.

Amazon has rolled out a fresh act of generosity involving free monthly storage fees and free returns processing. But to get these perks, the ASINs you’re enrolling should be new.

Why is Amazon so generous?

All About Importing

We were sure the pandemic would last only a few weeks. But we’re already about a year in, and it still isn’t over. That’s why when you’re sourcing your products from China, chances are you still encounter problems with your supplier or in getting your inventory shipped.

It’s about time to address these concerns.

Join us on February 17 at 10 AM (PST) for a public webinar about Importing from China. You’ll hear about the problems we had to face and how we dealt with them.

But don’t worry. This webinar won’t be solely about our experiences. There will be time to ask your questions before we end.

Sign up for free.

But why stop there?

The webinar is a great place to start your importing journey and even to improve your current strategies. But we’re sure we’ll be leaving out a majority of our best importing advice because of time constraints.

Don’t worry. Dave wrote a whole book about the topic.

Import from China Like a Pro is not for those who are still trying to seek out inspiration to start an importing business. This is for the determined and for those who have already done it before.

In less than 200 pages, Dave covers all the practical aspects of the process. He gets immediately to the point because neither he nor you have much time to waste.

The book is yours for free. Just pay for the shipping.

Stay Away from the Court

Raise your hands if you want to get into legal trouble.

Standing in front of a judge or an arbitrator and having to justify something you did wrong is not on any entrepreneur’s to-do list. Yet many still do either because they didn’t know they were doing something illegal or they just didn’t care.

To protect yourself from any legal fiasco, join us on our Secret Sauce webinar on February 10 at 10 AM (PST).

Lawyer John Di Giacomo will discuss the most important legal considerations for e-commerce sellers. You will have time to ask questions at the end of the webinar.
