Anyone here sell on amazon?

Listed my first item today and had a question.
It says "active" on the backend but says "currently unavailable" online.

Does it take time to process? How long?


And how the H do you make any money when they take 20% + $40/month + $1 per listing. Omfg!

Sh*t better sell like hot cakes with special sauce.

I'm on ebay.
And looking at Esty for some designs I have made.

Etsy isn't cheap either. Etsy also takes a cut of any shipping charges even if they are charged as actual cost.

Seems I need a letter of approval from the brand owner to sell products from the HondaSxS Club brand.

Esty would be mostly digital items. Hoping this will be hands-off once I get it set up.

Oh my lord.. I had no idea what it costs to list on there. I feel like I could be partially to blame for that.

Sent my first item to FBA today.
In short. that just means I sent it to Amazon warehouse to be listed as Amazon Prime item and they house, sort, pick, ship, and handle returns on my behalf.

Item has a $9.95 price tag.
---------------
Amazon takes a $4.41 cut on each sale.
+ Amazon storage fees (currently unknown)
+ Cost
+ Shipping to Amazon
+ $35/month to sell on amazon.

Lord... I hope I make at least $1.
