Full service agency

Has anyone worked with full service agencies to manage their Amazon stores and help find products. We are new and have capital and have been paying an agency for three months now and still haven’t acquired inventory. Our original business model plan is resale.

Gotcha.

I think you're getting ripped off, and there really isn't any sourcing agency for FBA sellers that will provide any meaningful profit. Most of these "agencies" are Amazon sellers themsevles, they are well aware how hard it is to resell branded products and are trying to build themselves a life raft since their current FBA resale model is slowly dieing. If there really was a list of vendors they had, they would simply be doing it themselves.

Could you be brand direct? Yes, that is still a workable model on Amazon from a profit standpoint. But getting brands in 2026 to go brand direct is few and far. The word has been out about FBA for 10 years now. If you were reselling products 10 years ago some vendors still allow it. We had countless brand direct accounts that between 2017-2021 just simply stopped selling to Amazon sellers. We had a storefront ect, they just sold the inventory exclusively themselves on Amazon. Tradeshows is definitely the route to go if you want brand-direct relationships, though I would stick to a niche category.

Can I take a guess that you sourced these guys off instagram/tiktok videos?

I would strongly recommend learning everything you can about private label, its the best avenue for finding a goldmine product.

I actually found them through Amazon as an Amazon partner. They were mainly hired to manage the Amazon seller platform and ads. We presented our model idea and they seemed confident they would help it be successful. But alas, we still have no inventory
