A few questions, if you don't mind:

How do you figure out how much stock to order from Alibaba? Is it just based on the maximum financial risk you want to undertake, or something else?

Do you ever replenish stock, or do you continuously rotate the items you sell?

How do you pick the items to sell? Just popular items within certain categories that don't have a current Prime option? Or some other method?

What % of sales end up as returns due to defective products etc? Does Amazon cover these, or do you take the financial hit if there's a refund?



I have very similar questions...
