Product not meeting Health Canada's Cosmetic Regulation
Hey guys anyone deal with something like this where there product gets deactivated because it doesn't have any french labelling on it as shown below. Hello, Some of your Amazon.ca cosmetic product listings will be deactivated on September 28 because they don't meet Health Canada's Cosmetic Regulations labeling requirements Review the affected listings and next steps below. Why is this happening? We're taking this action because your cosmetic products must meet Health Canada's Cosmetic Regulations requirements for labeling. Under Canadian law, all cosmetic products must be labeled in both French and English, contain only permitted ingredients from the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist, and be sealed in original manufacturer packaging. To learn more, go to our Cosmetics policy. What happens next? To meet the requirements, complete the steps below by September 28: 1. Go to your Account Health page and select 'Appeal' next to the affected listing 2. Update your product detail page (PDP) images to show: - French and English labeling of all mandatory information - Complete ingredient list - Product packaging with manufacturer codes (lot numbers, serial numbers) Whats the best course of action from here?? I was thinking about just printing stickers and covering the original print with the sticker, but I'm curious what anyone else has done!!!

I do not recommend printing stickers and covering the original print. All my students are always taught that whenever you are sourcing grocery and beauty that french/english labeling is required. doesn't mean we don't source stuff that don't have it, but when we do we need to understand the risk we are taking and order a size to the proportion of the risk. In this case, you are in the wrong, there's nothing to do. Any "creative" way of sneaking your inventory to the warehouse can risk serious account health issues. generally my advice is to either return the items to the retailer if you still can, if not, liquidate on marketplace or ebay. In the event that you can actually find the item with french/english labeling local, you might be able to get away with some shenanigans, but outside that, if you're inventory is truly only english or any other language but english/french.... RIP

@Muhammad Mulla amazon support is the least trustworthy source ironically lol They're just reading the script in front of them. I know this sounds odd but I promise, you should NEVER take advice from amazon seller support. In this case, again, messing with the products image and applying what would literally be a fraudulent label on the product opens you up to more risk. A customer might receive the item and assume it's fake and submit an inauthentic complaint and that will do more harm than good. I would definitely drop that product. Free little tip: whenever deciding on buying products that do not have French English labeling and are in the grocery/beauty category, look at the Keepa charts listing history. If it's been up for over a year, the chances that it will get taken down are smaller.(but not impossible) I recently had something like 12 products that I need to liquidate by September 28th for this exact reason. Just part of the game.
How much inventory should you buy for a variation listing (wholesale)?
This is one of the most common questions I see in wholesale, and honestly, most people are just guessing. You don't have to. There's a simple way to figure this out using Keepa and SellerAmp. Here's how I break it down. Step 1️⃣: Find the variation split on Keepa Go to Keepa and click on the Variation tab. Scroll to the right and you'll see a column called Review Percentage. This shows you how sales are split between the different variations (colors, sizes, etc). Let's say there are 2 variations. One is doing 86% of sales, and the other is doing 14%. And let's say the whole listing sells 5,000 units a month. You're interested in the variation doing 14%. because it has high profits Step 2️⃣: Work out the monthly sales for that specific variation. Just multiply the total sales by the percentage. 5,000 x 14% = 700 sales a month for that variation. Step 3️⃣: Check how many sellers are on that listing. Now head over to SellerAmp and check the seller count for that ASIN. Let's say there are 20 sellers. Step 4️⃣: Divide the sales by the number of sellers. 700 / 20 = 35 sales per month, per seller. That number (35) is roughly what you can expect to sell each month if you're one of 20 sellers on that variation. Step 5️⃣: Now decide your inventory From here, it's up to you. If you're comfortable getting a 2-3 month supply, you'd order somewhere around 70 to 105 units for that specific variation. If you want to start smaller and test it first, order less and scale up once you see how fast it actually moves for you. The key thing here is you're not just looking at total listing sales. You're breaking it down by variation and by seller count, so you're not overbuying stock nobody's going to touch, or underbuying something that could've sold way more. Anyone else have a method they use for this? Curious to see how other people approach it.

@Evan Jones yup Evan is right here, the above is a US technique
Coaching group starts the first week of October. Here is exactly what it is. (4 spots left)
Every Q4 I have run has taught me the same thing. Four years, same lesson. I wish I had bought more. That is what December does to you. The demand shows up whether you are ready for it or not, and your season gets decided by the preparation you did in September and October. Not by the sourcing you do in December. Which is exactly why this group starts when it does. Q4 is the only stretch of the year where the season is happening while I am teaching it. Start in January and you learn Q4 from a slide in March, six months before it matters and eleven months before you can use it. Start in October and you learn it in the week it is happening, watching me run mine, with your own money on the line. Then January hits. Everything slows down, the returns land, and you have your own numbers from a real season instead of somebody's opinion about what December looks like in Canada. That is what you are buying. A season you actually lived through, and the reps to walk into next September knowing exactly what you are doing. What you get. Two live calls a week with me, from the first week of October to the first week of December and you keep access to me for the rest of December, which is the month the mistakes get expensive. Two and a half hours one on one with me before day one, on your situation specifically. Your leads reviewed on video every week. I tell you what and I would buy and how many Group chat for the general questions, my DMs for the private ones. The written course, the seller ID sheet, the buy sheet, the lead database, the sourcing flowchart. Yours to keep. Small group. That is not a line to drive sales. I litteraly cannot review leads for twenty people. Who it is for. You are in Canada. You can genuinely put in ten hours a week through the busiest quarter of the year. You need consistency. Who it is not for. Anyone who wants passive income by Christmas. Anyone who wants to watch instead of do. Anyone who has to stretch to afford it, and I mean that one.

My first Q4, I treated it like a normal month
I started selling in July 2022. Five months later it was November, and I did what most beginners do without realizing they are doing it. Nothing different. I sourced the same way. I sent my inventory in the same way. I did not touch FBM. I did not build a list of brands, I did not watch a single sale date, I did not think about my cash for one second. November showed up, I sold more than usual, and I felt pretty good about myself. Across that November and December I cleared somewhere around three grand in profit. For a guy five months in, that felt like proof I knew what I was doing. Here is what I actually learned, and it took me until the next year to see it. Q4 does not punish you for showing up unprepared. That is the trap. If you send in mediocre inventory in a mediocre way, Q4 still pays you more than October did, and you walk into January thinking you had a good season. You never find out what the season could have paid you, so you never change anything. I only saw it in year two, when I ran the same two months on purpose. Same guy, roughly the same skill. Different preparation. It was not close. Every Q4 since has taught me the same lesson in a slightly different way, and I say it to my students every single year: you are going to finish December wishing you had more money, more inventory, and more products ready. That is the whole game. So here is the version of it I wish somebody had handed me in September 2022. September is the month nobody respects September feels like nothing is happening. That is exactly why it is the most valuable month you have. September is for looking backwards and building lists. If you sold anything at all this year, go pull your data. Which brands did you actually sell? Which of those are you still ungated in? Which source websites came through for you, and when do those stores historically run their sales? Every one of those answers is a lead you do not have to go find in November, when you will not have time to find anything.
The next CanFlip update: The Watchlist, and better token efficiency
You've heard me say it many times. Most of the leads you kill are not bad products. They are bad today. So you track it, you set the alert under the number, and you let the lead come back to you. Here's the problem with doing that in Keepa alone. The email fires, it tells you a price moved, and now you're back in the spreadsheet at 11pm doing fee math on an ASIN you barely remember, trying to figure out if that price actually works for you. Keepa knows the price. It doesn't know your numbers. So I built it into CanFlip. You're on a product, in Keepa or right on the Amazon page. You type in what you'd pay for it and the ROI you want. You hit Track. That's it. That's the whole system. Every night, CanFlip pulls the buy box and runs your real numbers on it. Referral fee, pick and pack, inbound, your prep. It doesn't tell you "the price hit $29.99." It tells you this product is profitable for you, at your cost, today. - The CanFlip icon shows a green number: how many of your tracked products are profitable right now. - Every row shows the gap. "Needs 55 more cents" tells you something a chart doesn't. - Your eligibility dot sits on every row, so you know you're still ungated before you get excited. - There's a note field. Where you buy it, what the deal was, when it ends. Use it. - Got a buy list already? Paste the whole thing in. ASIN, cost, done. The token fix. Read this if you're on the free Keepa plan. I'll be straight with you: the current version has a bug, and it hits the free plan the hardest. I built it, so I'll own it. CanFlip always keeps 50 tokens untouched as a safety net, so automatic checks can never drain your tank. Sounds responsible. Except the free API plan only holds 60. So on the free plan, CanFlip was guarding 50 of your 60 tokens and doing all your background checking with the 10 left over. One seller check costs 10. One check per half hour, best case. And here's the part that actually hurts. Your tank refills 1 token a minute but stops at 60. So while CanFlip sat there being overly polite, about 2 out of every 3 tokens your plan produced just evaporated at the cap. The free plan makes 1,440 tokens a day. The current version could only ever use about 480 of them. If tracked sellers felt slow on a small plan, that's why. My bad.
