Getting started
- Start small with light products that have good margins.
- Pick one marketplace and one market to learn the process.
- Build every cost (marketplace fees, shipping, taxes) into your price.
Logistics lessons
- Transparent tracking clearly reduces complaints.
- Handling taxes upfront (DDP/IOSS) reduces refused deliveries.
- Better packaging saves a significant amount on shipping.
Scaling sustainably
Measure your KPIs, optimize, and only then expand into new markets. Avoid spreading yourself thin before you have a solid base.
