There are two main delivery methods for Amazon sellers: FBA and FBM.

1. FBA, which is the abbreviation of Fulfillment by Amazon, means that the seller first sends a batch of goods to Amazon's overseas warehouse. After the buyer places an order, Amazon helps the seller to send the goods from the warehouse to the buyer, and is responsible for the buyer's logistics and after-sales service throughout the process.

2. FBM, which is the abbreviation of Fulfillment by Merchant, in other words, it is self-delivery. After the buyer places an order, the seller needs to ship the goods to the buyer himself.

Although the cost expenditure of FBA is higher than self-delivery, the selling price of Listings shipped by FBA is often higher than that of self-delivery. In addition, using FBA is also an important factor in determining the ranking of Amazon products, and the benefits that can be enjoyed are more than self-delivery. Therefore, most Amazon sellers use FBA for delivery.
