Hey! New seller here.
Hey people!
First post here on the Seller forums. I would like to greet you and hope all is well for everyone.
Just graduated high school two years ago. I started in March of this year, and honestly, what an opportunity Amazon offers to sell. It may have its troubles here and there, but I couldn't name any other platform that offers anything similar to FBA. I've learned so much!
The challenge is the capital for purchasing more inventory, haha. Looking forward to the Loan & Line of Credit Opportunities.
But yeah, I just wanted to make at least one post. Hence I usually scroll through here in the morning, lol.

Hey @Seller_4VdoPRdfA0Etb, and like many of my colleagues have said welcome to selling on Amazon!
By no means am I or any of my colleagues pushing you or any other sellers to sign up for anything, but I just want to make sure you're aware of Amazon Lending as an option as you pursue those opportunities. I work with the partners on that team and they've developed some tools and resources specific to small and medium-sized businesses that sell on the platform that you should be able to explore from your home page if so inclined, especially for newer businesses without longstanding credit history as an alternative to traditional financing institutions and products.
Wishing you bountiful sales!

Capital should not be a problem if you plan your business activities out well.
You do not need a loan or line of credit. Going into debt right from the start is not good.
I started 25 years ago by simply buying a HP camera that would not take a picture unless it was connected to the computer's hard drive. Sold one item and took the profit to buy 2 more, then 4 more, then case lots of 48, and so on. By never taking any money out of the business and only reinvesting it, the business grows. The saying, "Only a Fool steals from themselves", is true.
Today I have 9 employees and every year I train 5 work study students in the art of operating a profitable online business. While the employees work, I travel looking for new products to sell.
Remember, NEVER take your focus off your bottom line. The bank, your vendors, Amazon Fees, FBA Fees, Gas & Electric, insurance, etc., all get paid before you do. It is your goal to give them the smallest part of your profit.
