It took Thomas Edison 1000 tries to invent the lightbulb. He didn't give up on success. Neither should you.
You can start your FBA business for the small cost of shipping your first box. You don't have to have a pro seller account, but if you're selling over 40 items per month, then you need to upgrade.
Why?
Individual sellers pay Amazon an additional 0.99 cents per item sold. Let's say you sold 100 items in the month of April. You're already paying Amazon $40 for the first 40 items, and if you're not a pro seller, you're giving Amazon another $60! As a pro seller you're banking on selling at least 40 items -that covers your $40 monthly fee ($39.99 actually). Think of all of the things you could source with an additional $60.
But that's not all.
You also get lots of really cool reports. Kick your business up a notch by feeding yourself with information. I'm just beginning to explore all of the reports available, but there are some awesome snapshots that allow you to see how you're performing in different categories.
You also have the ability to run an ad campaign to drive traffic to your listings. The ads cost just cents, plus you have access to detailed performance reports, including impressions and clicks.
In addition, Amazon will collect taxes for you from the different states in which you have Nexus (don't ask me to go into detail here -still learning the ropes).
The advantages of going pro certainly outweigh the disadvantages. Once you're selling at least 40 items a month the decision is really a no-brainer. Go pro!
