    I did a one day sale for the product I was selling. When the specific time ended, I could not change back to the original price. All my units just kept going for the discounted price. It did not stop until all the items were gone. So my profit margin was very low.

    Even when I contacted Amazon about the problem, I did not get a good response. The competition can be fierce. Those selling the same products want to see the cheaper prices go fast so that they can sell theirs at a higher price.

    That is why private label is a good idea and you explained this very well.

    Thanks for sharing your personal experience with us. This may be something no one could predict. Like any business, there are so many small details. You learn it until you take action and actually do it.

    You are certainly an experienced seller on Amazon. I wish you could restart your Amazon seller business and share more with us.

    I am trying. The biggest problem for me to identify good products to sell. After identifying the profitable products, it take time and efforts to identify manufacturer to produce the private labeled products. Quality control of the product is also tough to do.
