I discourage anyone from approaching e-commerce with this mentality. Everyone gets this idea that they can just source a product that people want, throw up a store and make a fortune. There's so much more to being successful at this and if you aren't passionate about the product you're selling then you will almost certainly fail. The only easy money in this industry is the money that grifters make selling these "solutions" to naïve individuals. More on reddit.com

I signed up for TA for a free week last May. I had a week off and spent most of the week on TA. There was a quite a learning curve and it was day 5 before I realized to do bulk searches, so I can't say I got the best from it until the last 24 hours of my free trial. Nevertheless, I saw how it worked enough to decide it was not for me. It searches for RA products that have little or no stock on Amazon. I set up searches with multiple stores and then worked through every category of one store where I frequently shop. It was doing automatically what I generally do by hand. By the end of the week I had 81 products to buy. I bought 1 or 2 of each because I was testing the water and really looking for replenishables. I discovered that about half of the products I found were out of stock when I found them, but as soon as I bought them I realized Amazon usually sold them, were temporarily out of stock and re-stocked by Amazon by the time my product reached the warehouse. So TA finds products for which there is a listing, but no stock. I realized that so many people use TA they may potentially be finding similar things. I have a different method of finding things and after a week preferred the method I was previously using which has less competition. I would have liked to have played with it for a second week, but didn't want to pay anything. I had no trouble cancelling my subscription. I did join the Facebook group and found many people on that group asked some very basic questions about how Amazon worked and I wondered if they got full use of TA, which I saw as a product for advanced sellers more than beginners. I just checked and I did find some products and am currently replenishing about 10 of the products I found during that week, although if had I not used TA for a week, I may have found 10 replens in that time period anyway. The best way to get value for money out of it is to keep searches running 24 hours a day and run one after another. I know some people have more than one account so they can run more searches. Even after you find a possible product there is a lot of work to do, and I guess that is why some people have VA's. I can see why some people like it, I just decided it was not for me.
