Not have to deal with picking, packing and shipping once an order is placed? Sounds like a dream! When you use FBA with Amazon Seller Central, that dream becomes a reality. But before you start, see what tips RepricerExpress has for you so you can be successful.   1. Master Your Metrics The first step in acing something is understanding the fundamental areas that matter. That’s where your metrics come in. They’re quantitative measurements of your performance as a seller, and apply even if you’re using a relatively hands-off approach like FBA. The metrics that tend to matter most to you are: Order Defect Rate: This metric measures the percentage of your orders in which you got either negative feedback, an A-to-z Guarantee claim, or a chargeback. If you can keep this metric to <1%, then you’re doing well. Late Shipment Rate: If you haven’t made the jump to FBA, then the Late Shipment Rate metric is something to pay close attention to. It monitors the ratio of shipments not confirmed by the expected ship date to the ones that are, and you should have

We’re far enough into 2019 that it doesn’t feel weird writing a new number at the end of the year, but still early enough for tips on improving your Amazon business. If you’re stuck on ideas, RepricerExpress has ten things you should be doing in your Amazon FBA business in 2019 to get ahead.   1. Stay Organised in Bookkeeping and Accounting Other than being the answer to the riddle "What word has three double letters in a row?’", bookkeeping means being organised and on top with your numbers. And when you know exactly what’s coming in and going out, it’ll be easier to see where to trim fat and where potential revenue goldmines are.   2. Keep on Top of Your Inventory Having lousy inventory management sucks. Running out means losing customers and sales while carrying too much means super high long-term storage fees. But that Goldilocks spot right in the middle? That means you’re able to meet buyer demands and capitalise on competitor mistakes. Invest in a good inventory management system and develop smart strategies to put yourself in the sweet spot.  

Update: Amazon will cease offering customers Amazon Expedited Shipping from March. Amazon’s reasoning is that they currently offer Standard Shipping, Expedited Shipping and Premium Shipping (detailed below). Amazon Premium Shipping offers one and two-day delivery options for fast shipping options which are traceable. In order to offer premium shipping, sellers must first meet high delivery performance standards. This is another attempt by Amazon to improve the customer buying experience through the communication of a clear delivery time.   Premium Shipping eligibility To be eligible for Premium Shipping, you must meet the following requirements for 30 days: Valid tracking rate of 100% On-time delivery rate of 97% or greater Seller-initiated cancel rate of less than 0.5% If your performance records fall below these requirements, your eligibility for Premium Shipping may be revoked. If your eligibility is revoked, you can submit a Plan of Action to request that your eligibility be restored. Note: There is a lag of 10 days in getting carrier data. Hence, we will measure your performance from day 40 to day 10 in past. Premium Shipping allows you to provide fast shipping options to

Mastering and getting ahead of Amazon’s search ranking algorithm is one of the top things you can do when selling in the marketplace. When you understand how it works, you can apply strategies to maximise traffic and sales. RepricerExpress takes a look at the new changes and updates to Amazon A10, the latest iteration of its algorithm.   It’s Very Similar to A9 A9 and A10 are very similar, with the biggest difference being factors are weighted differently in A10. A buyer’s search holds more relevance than it did before, meaning that shoppers are now trafficked more directly to what they’re looking for instead of what others think they should be looking for. One effect of this is internal sponsored links don’t hold as much importance as they used to — things like pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns are weighted lower, as Amazon’s realised users look beyond what sellers have paid to promote.   PPC Campaigns Still Matter Although nobody but Amazon knows exactly how the A10 algorithm works, one trend seems clear. One thing you may notice about how your PPC campaigns operate now is there
