Top Tips for Selling on Amazon FBA in the UK (Even If You're Just Getting Started)

Top Tips for Selling on Amazon FBA in the UK (Even If You're Just Getting Started)
Amazon FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) is one of the fastest-growing ways to start a resale business in the UK — and for good reason. You source the products, send them to Amazon, and they handle the storage, packing, and delivery.

But success on FBA starts with the right product and supplier. If you're wondering where to find low-cost stock, how to stand out, and how to make a profit, here’s a quick-start guide tailored for UK sellers.

🔹 1. Start Small With Low-Cost Stock
Don’t overcommit on your first shipment. Test the waters with clearance stock or low-cost job lots. At Gaita Home & Garden, we offer:

50p clearance items

£1 bargain stock

Mixed job lots perfect for FBA testing

This allows you to learn the process without risking too much capital.

🔹 2. Choose Lightweight, Low-Competition Products
Amazon storage and shipping fees are based on size and weight. To keep your costs low and profits high, go for:

Small and light products

Easy-to-pack items

Everyday goods like homeware, toys, and accessories

Our stock includes exactly these types of products, without the competition of branded electronics or seasonal gimmicks.

🔹 3. Avoid Branded or Restricted Products
Amazon restricts many branded goods or categories (e.g. electronics, supplements, luxury goods). You can get your account suspended if you sell restricted items.

Instead, choose generic, unbranded, or white-label stock — which is what Gaita Home & Garden specialises in.

🔹 4. Bundle and Add Value
One trick many sellers use is bundling. For example:

Combine 3 similar party items into a themed bundle

Create a gardening kit from multiple clearance items

Pair beauty tools with a gift bag for added perceived value

Bundling creates unique listings with less competition — and more sales.

🔹 5. Use Strong SEO & Product Photos
Once your products are on Amazon, make sure your listings include:

A clear, keyword-rich title

Multiple product photos

Bullet points with benefits

Keywords like “clearance stock UK” or “job lot for resale”

Need help writing listings? Just ask — we can help optimise your product titles and descriptions.

🔹 6. Watch Your Margins
Amazon takes fees for:

Storage

Fulfilment

Referral (typically 15%)

When sourcing stock, look for items that can be purchased for under £1–£2 and sold for £6–£10+. Many of our clearance items are profit-friendly and ideal for resellers who want to scale.

🔹 7. Reinvest & Scale Slowly
Don’t blow your profit too fast — reinvest into higher quantities or more diverse items. Consider:

Testing 5–10 new products per month

Doubling down on items that sell fast

Using analytics to track bestsellers
