seems simple, but it takes all of your time. You could literally become rich working from home. A friend of mine is a pro at it. I always wanted to start, I'm just lazy. But I will get started soon.

you can have your supplier ship to your customers or have a logistics company receive your products and then ship it to customers. That costs a lot of money. I used amazon prime. Even if you are not selling in amazon and are selling in another website. You can send your products to amazon prime and they will get their cut and send to your customers. It saves you a headache and saves you money instead of renting a storage unit or a warehouse.

The comment above yours kinda explains it. It is selling a product you don't own or have yet. You have an agreement with a supplier to fulfil all orders you receive through your site.

For example you are selling a small iron for 30 dollars on your site but it cost you 15 dollars from the supplier. That order automatically goes over to the supplier who fulfils it and sends it to the customer or you ship it from the supplier to your country and it will be at a 3rd party warehouse or Amazon warehouse. When someone buys it from your site, it will be sent to your customer from the warehouses. You then make 15 dollars per sale minus cost.

If you have the cash, buying a site and having someone manage it for you is the best way. You will only spend 30 mins a week talking to your worker about the site and you could be making $3000 a month profit which is good considering the small hours you are working per month.

Sounds like a good business idea on the side. It's what youtubers do to sell merchandise.

No. FBA is basically fullfillment. Prime customers get to watch movies/shows and they also get 2 day free shipping. So if your business has Amazon FBA that means Amazon takes care of the customer service/refunds/and shipping. You just relax and let them handle it. Of course they get a cut. Anyway if your customers have Amazon prime, they get to get 2 day free shipping. Your other customers have to pay for the shipping and wait 5 - 7 days for delivery. If your business is under FBA then your customers still get their products but the ones with Prime get it quicker and for free.
