How do new sellers source enough ASINs to spend thousands in their first month?
I keep seeing posts about people spending $5K–$10K+ in their first 30 days of OA. I’m genuinely curious about the mechanics are they buying in bulk on fewer ASINs, running multiple lead lists simultaneously, or just spending more time sourcing than I am? Would love to understand the workflow behind those numbers

Has anyone run into an FBA issue of Amazon “shipping” an item to a customer, Amazon ultimately cancelling it mid shipment, the item coming back getting marked customer damaged, and then they lose the item?
This is a very specific chain of events but it happened to me three times in a row on very, very expensive items from three different fulfillment centers.
- Customer orders the item
- Amazon ships the item
- It is made to look like customer returned the item because of missed fulfillment or refused
- Item marked as customer damaged
- Amazon loses the item so you can’t have it sent back for inspection
- You Contacted the buyer to investigate the cancellation and why they returned the item, and they tell you that Amazon just reached out to them and told them they needed to cancel their order but they could place a new order, with no further explanation.
- You show compile all this documentation for Amazon and the refuse to do anything.
Has this happened to anyone else? I mean I don’t understand how TF this exact same event happens three times in a row, from three different fulfillment centers.

#518 – Amazon Product Research, Zombie Listings, And Keyword Gaps
Audio version above. Video version below
Finding profitable product opportunities on Amazon is not always about chasing what is already obvious. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Carrie Miller is joined by Bradley Sutton and Shivali Patel to break down how sellers can use Helium 10’s Black Box tool to uncover hidden opportunities in products, keywords, competitors, and even abandoned listings. Instead of relying on guesswork or endless Amazon searches, they show how sellers can use filters and deeper data to build smarter shortlists and validate ideas faster.
Shivali explains how Black Box can help sellers narrow product research based on factors like review count, images, revenue, sales volume, and pricing. She also shows how keyword-based research can reveal fast-rising trends and untapped search terms that most sellers would never discover manually. The bigger lesson is that product research is not just about finding demand. It is about finding demand where competition, listing quality, or keyword targeting still leave room for a better offer.
Bradley dives into some of the most unique strategies in the episode, including how to find out-of-stock products, research seasonal items before they return, and uncover keywords that directly drove competitor sales. Carrie adds another layer by showing how Amazon Brand Analytics data inside Helium 10 can help sellers identify top-clicked and top-converting keywords, monitor keyword trends over time, and spot openings when competitors lose traction. The episode also covers finding true product competitors, hyper-filtering search results for PPC targeting, and analyzing frequently bought together history for bundling and cross-selling opportunities.
What makes this episode especially valuable is that it pushes sellers to think beyond surface-level research. The real advantage is not just seeing what is selling now, but understanding why it is selling, where the gaps are, and how to position yourself before the rest of the market catches on. For Amazon sellers who want a more strategic way to discover products, keywords, and advertising angles, this episode is a strong reminder that the best opportunities are often hiding in the data right in front of you.

Locked out of my own listings? Legacy VC “Retail” contributions overriding Seller Central.
I’m fighting a ghost Vendor Central account for control over attributes for >400 ASINs.
- 2014: Created 400 original ASINs via Vendor Central.
- 2017: Migrated the brands to Seller Central.
- 2024: Amazon closed the inactive VC account.
Even though we are Brand Registered in SC, the attributes (titles, bullets, images) are locked to “Amazon Retail” contributions from the old VC days. Because Retail contributions have the highest “winning” priority in the Amazon catalog, my SC updates are ignored.
Support’s “Fix”: Standard Seller Support tells me to just keep submitting cases for every single attribute change. This is not a solution for 500+ SKUs that need optimization.
Has anyone successfully forced a Contribution Reset?
- Has anyone found the right keyword or department (Internal Catalog Team?) to get legacy VC data disconnected?
- Does anyone know if there is a specific Hard Refresh via Flat File that can break the tie if the VC account is officially deleted?
- Is it possible to “re-claim” these through Brand Registry support by proving the VC account is defunct?
Any insights into how the internal catalog hierarchy handles closed VC accounts would be life-saving. Thanks!
