I'm thinking if I could go back I'd create my own FBA type of thing. I go hunt down the merchandise ... Online offline where ever .... Bring it or send it to who ever
It could be employees
It could be my subs
It could be a valet type service
WHO EVER IT IS
Next time as soon as I'm doing good healthy numbers I WILL force myself to step back and slow down and delegate
No more superman routine for me THAT IS FOR SURE

Well the nice thing about FBA, is it allows you to be superman.. Get a bar code scanner and a decent space to sort and prep inventory for shipment and you can easily list 100 unique items a day via Amazon FBA..
Meanwhile try to list 100 unique items in a day on ebay and I don't think it's remotely possible. The power of FBA, is the fact it allows you to deal with more product as a small operation.. The draw back is you pay for that ability with higher fees and storage costs on items that don't move fast. You also need much more money invested in product but have a much greater ability to move volume.
If I could start fresh again, I'd have gone right into FBA, but now I'm pretty heavily invested into ebay that I'm sort of stuck with that for the time being.
