同學的問題：

Q1: First of all thank you for doing this, Ellen Lin. If my import goods are below $2500 am I considered as informal entry and don't need to pay duties and tax? Thank you - Andy Liu

Q2: When we request for sample, cost of deliver is more expensive than goods. How to solve it?

Q3: one more question. How to apply a "Thank you card" that direct customers into your own website? is this allowed for Amazon ?

Q4: 
1. Do you suggest using Amazon FBA to fulfill orders from eBay or any other platform? Why and why not?

2. How does Amazon FBA deal with returned items? Do they automatically ship them back to your business address or do they ask you for further instructions? For me, my business address is my own condo and it’s hard to receive inbound packages. What’s your advise except buying a new house?

3. Can customers place orders when there is zero in inventory? Does your ranking get affected when the inventory hits zero or when there is a back order? Should you take down the listing while you are waiting your products to arrive at FBA?

4. Do you suggest combining private label and retail arbitrage to attract different market segments? For examples, import 2/3 of niche products from Alibaba and purchase 1/3 trendy products from local stores (to get more exposure)

Q5: 想請問Ellen 我們是手機配件製造商，目前專注於磁吸線，無線充電等周邊產品研發製造，在銷售及電商通路，一路也是跌跌撞撞走過來
我們有產品製造研發的優勢，在研發這一塊我們公司已經投入超過一千萬人民幣，產品也是都在市面上具有領先技術以及特色，但品牌OEM量雖然很大，毛利不夠研發，我們才會踏入電商這塊
但電商推廣自有品牌的花費也需要一筆龐大持續的開銷，要如何有效降低成本推廣自有品牌，我們不排除任何可能的合作方案

Q6: 我住台灣，我想賣東西到美國Amazon,在評估成本之後發現，每個產品的FBA成本約220台幣，國際貨運運到美國大約要180台幣，產品本身的成本約150台幣。我產品的成本約550台幣，但是市場行情價約700台幣，還要扣稅20%。但不用FBA，因信用評等問題，是否很難賣出商品？所以住台灣是否不推薦賣至美國呢?

Q7: Hi ellen,可以请问你。之前有video说，如何在不够资金以下也能运作？可以知道详情吗？谢谢你

Q8: 請問初期開始找供應商要小額進貨 即使供應商願意提供小額貨量 但運費加上後 幾乎沒有利潤 甚至可能賠本 請問該怎麼做？ 該產品確實是利基產品符合課程所教的條件

Q9: 你好ellen, 我之前做直銷囤了很多貨，想用你課程教的東西去賣，但剛巧又是護膚品和保養品，而且單價都1000hkd以上。我有打算便宜點賣，但那個公司規定不能用低於入貨價賣，不然會取消代理資格及保留法律追究權利 你建議我應怎樣散貨?

Q10: Hello, Ellen 想請問一下我後台有一個產品的Status顯示FC transfer，請問這是甚麼意思呢?? 還有另一個是顯示Warehouse Damaged，請問這是在搬運過程損壞的意思嗎?? 那亞馬遜會賠償嗎?? 還有另個產品是要我提交進貨明細嗎??附上圖片，謝謝

Q11: I would like to further understand about the Amazon Fulfillment & Storage. Understood it is calculate item by item (piece by piece), am i right? What if some other packing could be in pack, maybe 10pcs in one package. So, how did Amazon charge for such packing? It will calculate by the weight & lb?

Q12: 我從上課到找產品到現在已經找到15~20產品
我目前定位是寵物用品類(先已貓狗為主)
但我發現台灣有很多人在賣寵物用品類
所以我利基產品可能只有三分之一剩下的都是熱銷產品
那我要先賣看看邊找利基產品
還是先找利基產品佔總共的三分之二再賣
還是換方向類別??
