Ungating inquiring
Hello everyone, My name is Sirak, and I started selling on Amazon this month. However, I have a question. Every time I try to get ungated in a particular category, I end up getting ungated for a specific brand instead, which was not my original intention. How do you know which products to buy from a distributor that will allow you to get ungated in a particular category rather than just a specific brand? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

@Sirak Yegzaw Are you saying that you're able to continue selling units of a product whose ASIN or brand Amazon had re-gated after you sent the units in? If this is what you mean, then I would just sell through/price-to-move the units you have in stock already but refrain from sending in any additional units.

@Sirak Yegzaw Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification! I've never had that happen to me before; but, to answer your question, I think it's possible that your units, upon arriving at a fulfillment centre, could just become stranded inventory. If they do, you could ask for them back and possibly return them to recoup some of your capital, depending on when they'd arrive, what kind of items they are, where you bought them, and so on. Another option is that of trying to sell them on another marketplace (e.g., eBay, Facebook Marketplace). Unexpected gatings/re-gatings underscore the importance of being picky about how you allocate your capital, especially as a new(er) seller. If the amount you spent on the gated units represents, say, 5% of your capital, that's much easier to recover from than if it represents 50%. I don't know if you do this already, but you might want to consider limiting your capital allocation to no more than 10% per brand or ASIN, especially if you have relatively minimal capital to work with. For example, if you have $3000 capital and want to buy 10 units of a certain bottle of XYZ shampoo for a total of $150, then you'd have $150 left to spend on any other profitable product manufactured by XYZ. Similarly, if you wanted to buy 30 units, you would instead limit yourself to 20 because buying 30 would cause you to overspend.
Big CanFlip Update Coming Soon
I have some very interesting updates on the way. - The ability to Track 25 Sellers, receiving an update when they add new asins.(working on it even pre-check what you're ungated in out of those asins!) - Saved Keepa Product Finder Filters, to easily load them - The ability to see if another seller has a lot of ungated products and see how many ASINs are shared with your tracked list - Upgrading the bulk checker - A quick SellerAmp Style calculator on keepa product finder, to see if somethings profitable before clicking into the amzn link - Fine Tuning the AI button to focus more on risk, it will check if theres IP risks, meltable, seasonal etc The thing is, a lot of these new features will cost tokens. These tokens are part of your keepa subscription. The base plan generates 1 token/minute and caps you at 300 tokens. Nerd speak: Refreshing a storefront costs 10 tokens. So if you track 25 sellers, and it refreshes once per day, thats 250 tokens. If you ever start missing tokens, Keepa has upgradable plans that gives you more tokens (CanFlip makes NOTHING from tokens, its just our way of communicating with keepa to fetch data) Stay tuned!
Big CanFlip Update Coming Soon

@Anthony Mancini Sounds great! Will you be recording and publishing a video demo once the updates have been finalized and made available to all subscribers of CanFlip?

Hi brother, I need your advice. I previously sold 15 units of this ASIN on Amazon Canada without any issues. After I restocked and sent more inventory to FBA, Amazon is now asking me to request approval again. During the application, they’re asking if I can ensure all FBA inventory has Amazon Transparency serial number barcodes. My products have the regular UPC and serial stickers, but I can’t find any Amazon Transparency code. Should I select “Yes” or “No”? What would you recommend I do to get this approval? Thanks

@Anthony Mancini I don't know whether this would be a helpful or feasible addition to CanFlip, but maybe a transparency code, IP complaint, and meltable checker could be integrated into the software. If not, then a separate IP Alert-like software specifically for Canadians that checks for all three based on crowdsourced data might be useful.
My life has changed FOREVER - Cohort 2 Student
Hey everyone, my name is Christian Cabatay and I was in Anthony's Cohort 2 in this 12 week mentorship program. Heres what happened... I want to be real with y'all for a second before I get into the numbers. I started this cohort with barely any capital. Like, genuinely tight. No big bankroll, no safety net, no "I'll just buy more inventory if it doesn't work" backup plan. Just me, a small amount of money I could not afford to lose, and a decision that I was going to make it work anyway. And I did. There's a quote I live by, one that got me through every uncomfortable, unfamiliar part of this process: "It's not hard, it's just new." Every time something felt overwhelming, I reminded myself of that. It wasn't that the work was too hard for me, it was just that I hadn't done it before yet. Anthony's 12 week cohort was honestly one of the best decisions I've made. Twelve weeks sounds long when you're in week 1, but I promise you it flies by, and the craziest part is the value doesn't stop when the cohort ends. The videos he gives you aren't just "watch once and forget," they're the kind of thing you're going to be pulling up months from now when you hit a wall and need to remind yourself how to work through it. I already know I'll be rewatching these long after cohort 2 is done. And Anthony himself, the man is always there. Always responding, always willing to help you figure out what's going wrong. But here's the thing nobody tells you going in: he can only help you as much as you help yourself. He'll show you the way, but you still have to put in the work, ask the right questions, and actually apply what he teaches. This isn't a sit back and get rich program. It's a show up and get coached program. Huge difference. Now let's talk numbers, because this is the part I'm most proud of. My first ever sale landed on May 5th. From there, it's been a straight climb. May 1 to July 11th: Sales: C$5,686.58 Orders Units: 151 / 155 Refunds: 7 Ad spend: C$0.00, (every bit of this was organic)

@Christian Cabatay Congratulations! Exactly how much capital did you start with? Does your net profit reflect your refunds and other expenses including software subscriptions and shipping supplies? People sometimes exclude these costs from their "net" profit.
I’m Building a Lower-Cost Amazon FBA Canada Course
I know not everyone is ready to invest into a premium coaching program. And honestly, that’s totally fine. The cohort is not for everyone. It’s for people who want direct feedback, live support, accountability, and help making better decisions while they are actually building their Amazon business. But I also know there are a lot of people in here who are serious about learning Amazon FBA Canada, but maybe you’re not ready for that level of investment yet. Maybe you’re still working on building up your capital with your 9-5. Maybe you’re trying to understand the model first. Maybe you don’t have enough capital yet. Maybe you just want the step-by-step foundation before you decide if this is something you actually want to pursue. So I’m thinking about releasing a written course / playbook that breaks down the actual system I teach: - how Amazon FBA Canada works - how I think about sourcing - how to use Keepa, SellerAmp, and CanFlip - how to avoid buying bad products - how to think about capital, ROI, and risk - how to build the weekly sourcing loop - what beginners usually get wrong when they follow US Amazon advice This would not be the cohort. No live calls. No private lead reviews. No me looking over your shoulder correcting every decision. But it would give you the foundation and the framework so you can start learning the right way without jumping straight into a premium program. And if you eventually decide you want to apply for a future cohort, I’m considering letting your course payment count as credit toward the cohort. So it would not be wasted. If this is something you’d be interested in, comment COURSE below and I’ll DM you the details when it’s ready.
