🛍️ 1. Understand What FBA Is

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) means:

  • You send your products to Amazon’s warehouse

  • Amazon stores them, packs orders, ships them to customers

  • They also handle customer service & returns

✅ Why FBA?: Fast shipping (Prime), trusted service, hands-off logistics.

Ways to find products:

  • Use tools like Jungle Scout, Helium 10, or AMZScout

  • Look for:

    • High demand (good sales volume)

    • Price between $15–$50
