What Amazon does for you
Amazon says it receives and stores your inventory, picks, packs and ships your orders, and provides customer service and handles returns (Amazon). You still choose the products, set prices and run your listings and ads.
What it costs
- Fulfillment fees per unit, based on the product’s price, weight and size.
- Monthly storage fees, based on the space your stock takes.
- Extra fees for stock that sits too long, returns processing and removals.
Amazon recommends its Revenue Calculator to estimate the fees for a specific product.
FBA for Pakistani sellers
Amazon added Pakistan to the countries allowed to sell on its marketplace in May 2021, and thousands of Pakistani sellers joined its US store within a year (Marketplace Pulse). They ship stock to Amazon’s overseas warehouses, often through a freight forwarder. The hard parts are product choice, landed cost and cash flow, since you pay for stock, shipping and fees long before the first payout arrives.
