Amazon handles storage, packing, and delivery for faster shipping and lower RTO.
Seller manages inventory and shipping; can show faster delivery if warehouse is near buyer.
Amazon's official review program where sellers provide free products to trusted reviewers for honest feedback.
Orders cancelled during transit due to long delivery time or customer refusal; FBA helps reduce it.
Pausing seller account temporarily; causes ranking drops and order loss, best avoided.
Finding wholesale suppliers via markets, Indiamart, or Udaan; always check quality via samples.
Pay-per-click product listing ads on Amazon/Flipkart to drive traffic; start with automatic for small budgets.
Why did my orders drop after using vacation mode for a month?
Vacation mode pauses your listing, causing ranking and sales to drop. Resume by updating listing content, increasing ad spend, and adding a few authentic reviews.
How can I get reviews without Amazon tracking them as fake?
Avoid sharing direct links, use different locations, stagger reviews over 2-3 days after delivery, and only request reviews on 1-2 orders out of 4-5.
Why does FBA show faster delivery than FBS on my listing?
FBA uses Amazon's local warehouses closer to buyers, while FBS relies on your location. Buyers near your warehouse see faster FBS times; it varies by region.
What should I do if my listing has 19 reviews but no orders?
Pause current ads, refresh the entire listing content, run a limited-time deal via Sale Event Planner, and temporarily reduce price to regain traction.
Is the Vine program good for getting reviews?
Vine provides authentic reviews but results vary; reviewers may not order or give poor ratings. Use it alongside other methods for initial reviews.
How to source sports products for Amazon?
Best from Meerut market (UP). But verify quality via samples and visit to avoid fraud; many suppliers send good samples then poor bulk.
What is the difference between PLA and PCA ads on Flipkart?
PLA (Product Listing Ads) and PCA (Product Category Ads). For beginners, use automatic product-level ads with keywords; brand ads are expensive.
How to handle RTO (return to origin) issues?
Switch to FBA to reduce delivery time and cancellations; faster delivery lowers RTO as customers don't have time to reconsider.
Where can I buy home and kitchen products wholesale?
Sadar Bazaar (Delhi), Crawford Market (Mumbai), or online via Indiamart/Udaan. Always order samples first to check quality.
My dry fruit ladoo listing stopped selling; what can I do?
Grocery is tough with low margins. Improve ads, update listing images, consider social media promotion (Instagram), and focus on volume sales.
