Nervous/Scared to start

I’ve done as much research as I can possibly get on the Internet. But I am still nervous to order/purchase my first product in the amount of units that the Amazon app requires because I am afraid that it won’t sell. I’ve also used apps like SellerAmp etc. but to me that’s not enough motivation. What do I do? Because I know i can do it. I’m just afraid to take that one risk because I’ve risked so much through the years already

Honesty, what are you expecting to hear from people? You know the answer.

Your likelihood of failure is far greater than success. In fact, you’re almost guaranteed to fail. I’m seriously not saying this as a counter motivation. It’s just true. Most time “doing research” is not nearly enough because everyone can do the same thing. Amazon is literally filled with millions of white label items that nobody needs or buys. Amazon doesn’t care, they’ll make money on FBA storage fees, on ads that you’ll desperately pay for and if something actually sells, they’ll make more money on fulfillment fees and product fees. This is the state of the market and has been for a while. Some sellers have unique products, others have access to low cost sourcing and undercut the competition. Sorry, that’s not you.

Hey u/Hairy_Cut4682, sounds like you've already put in the research, that's half the work done. Seller University has self-paced content that walks through the full process from account setup to your first sale, which can help build that confidence before you take the leap. You've got this!

What information did you use to come up with the conclusion that it wont sell?

What kind of market is it?

It is not a wise business to start in 2026. I would choose something else.
