Hey all,

I've been reselling for a couple years now and have recently begun my Amazon FBA journey. Right now, I am prioritizing online arbitrage as a means of sourcing. I was looking to meet new people that also do Amazon FBA online arbitrage to discuss sourcing and leads. If you're interested, please reply to this post. I'd like to set up shared Discord to help each other find profitable leads and strategies to make money doing Amazon FBA online arbitrage together. Thank you for reading.

As someone who’s been selling through online arbitrage on Amazon for about 2 years now, I’m facing a dilemma and would appreciate your insights. Lately, Amazon seems to be actively removing the buy box for sellers if the item’s price is significantly higher than on other websites. This strategy of Amazon complicates our ability to forecast profitability.

The main issue here is the lack of clarity from Amazon regarding the maximum price threshold before they decide to remove the buy box. This uncertainty makes each purchase a risk, potentially leading to razor-thin margins, breaking even, or even losses. I’ve purchased products before that seemed promising only to have Amazon remove the buy box until I brought it down to a price that led to a loss.

Given these circumstances, I’m questioning the feasibility of continuing with OA on Amazon. How are you all managing this situation? Do you still find OA on Amazon to be a viable strategy?

Eager to hear your thoughts and experiences.
