Amazon FBA Online Arbitrage Sourcing VA (Experienced Only)

Hiring: Experienced Amazon FBA Online Arbitrage Product Sourcing VA

Pay: $3.00/hour + Performance Bonuses
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8 hours per day (40 hours/week)
Position: Full-Time, Remote
Experience: Previous Amazon FBA Online Arbitrage sourcing experience REQUIRED

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

DO NOT apply if you have never sourced profitable products for Amazon FBA before.

We are an established Amazon FBA business looking for an experienced, reliable, and independent Online Arbitrage sourcing VA to help us scale our inventory, especially during Q4.

We are looking for someone who understands Amazon sourcing beyond simply finding products that appear profitable in SellerAmp.

You must already know how to:

Source profitable Amazon FBA products through Online Arbitrage

Use SellerAmp SAS and Keepa confidently

Analyze sales volume, Buy Box history, competition, and price stability

Find legitimate retailers and suppliers

Calculate accurate ROI, profit margins, and dollar profit

Identify potential price tanking and listing saturation

Find profitable Amazon seller storefronts through reverse sourcing

Identify products with realistic bulk-purchasing opportunities

Work independently without constant supervision

We are NOT looking to train someone from scratch.

YOUR MAIN JOB

Our goal is to consistently find 8–10 VALID ASINs per day, with an emphasis on profitable, high-volume sourcing opportunities.

Daily and weekly expectations:

Initial evaluation period: Minimum 5 approved ASINs per day (25 per week)

Standard target after evaluation: 8 approved ASINs per day (40 per week)

High-performance target: 10+ approved ASINs per day (50+ per week)

Finding random products does NOT count.

Every submitted product must meet our sourcing requirements and pass review.

If submitted ASINs are rejected, you must replace them before the end of the workweek to meet the required weekly target.

Only approved ASINs count toward your weekly total, not simply submitted ASINs.

A lead will be evaluated based on whether it meets our documented sourcing requirements at the time of submission. We may choose not to purchase a qualifying lead for business reasons unrelated to its quality.

Q4 SOURCING PRIORITIES

We are actively looking to take advantage of major Q4 retailer promotions, seasonal discounts, and high-volume selling opportunities.

Our main priorities are SALES VOLUME, PROFITABILITY, and FAST INVENTORY TURNOVER.

We are not interested in slow-moving products that only sell a few units per month.

We want products that allow us to purchase meaningful quantities and realistically sell through inventory quickly.

Preferred Retailers

We strongly encourage sourcing from established U.S. retailers, including:

Walmart

Target

Best Buy

Home Depot

Lowe's

Walgreens

CVS

Kohl's

Macy's

Other reputable and verified U.S. retailers

Actively research holiday sales, clearance discounts, Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions, coupons, multi-buy offers, and other legitimate sourcing opportunities.

All discounts must be currently available and usable at the intended purchase quantity.

PRODUCT PROFITABILITY REQUIREMENTS

Every product submitted should meet the following requirements:

ROI: Minimum 35% or higher

Profit Margin: Preferably 20% or higher

Minimum Acceptable Margin: 15%, but ONLY if the product has exceptional sales volume, favorable competition, and strong overall profit potential

Profit Per Unit: Minimum $2.50–$3.00, with higher-profit products strongly preferred

All calculations must account for:

Product purchase cost

Amazon referral and FBA fees

Estimated inbound shipping and preparation costs

Applicable sales tax and other relevant expenses

Verified discounts or coupons

ROI is important, but actual dollar profit, realistic competition, and sales velocity matter just as much.

A product with great ROI is not automatically a good lead if it has poor sales potential or unrealistic competition.

MONTHLY SALES REQUIREMENTS

We are primarily targeting high-demand Amazon listings.

Preferred: 1,000+ estimated monthly sales

Minimum: 500+ estimated monthly sales, provided competition is low and there is a realistic opportunity to capture sales

High sales volume alone does NOT qualify a product.

You must analyze the number of competing sellers, Buy Box distribution, pricing trends, and how much inventory we could realistically sell.

For example, a listing selling 1,000 units per month with 30 sellers may be less attractive than one selling 600 units per month with only 4–5 competitive sellers.

Use Keepa and SellerAmp together to evaluate whether demand and profitability are sustainable.

COMPETITION AND BUY BOX ANALYSIS

Before submitting any product, review:

Number of active FBA and relevant FBM sellers

Whether Amazon Retail is competing on the listing

Buy Box price and historical pricing trends

Recent seller count increases

Price tanking and listing saturation risks

Estimated monthly sales relative to seller count

Whether we can realistically compete at the projected selling price

Avoid listings with unstable pricing, excessive competition, or obvious signs that profitability will disappear when more sellers enter.

We want inventory that sells, not inventory that sits in Amazon warehouses.

QUANTITY AND INVENTORY REQUIREMENTS

Because we are focused on Q4 volume, we prefer sourcing opportunities that allow us to purchase meaningful quantities.

Ideally, find products where we can realistically purchase:

20+ units

50+ units

100+ units when sales volume and competition support it

Retailers with sufficient available inventory are strongly preferred.

However, do NOT submit deals that only become profitable when purchasing unrealistic quantities.

Example:

If a product only meets our requirements when buying 25 units, but the listing sells approximately 50 units per month and already has 20 competing sellers, that is NOT a realistic sourcing opportunity.

Consider monthly sales, seller count, competition, purchase quantity, and potential inventory turnover.

Our preferred inventory sell-through target is approximately 30–60 days, depending on the product.

The deal must make sense for our business, not just look profitable on a spreadsheet.

SOURCE VERIFICATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

You MUST verify every retailer or supplier before submitting a product.

We previously had a VA submit a fake website impersonating a major retailer. A purchase was made from the website, and the card information was compromised.

This cannot happen again.

Before submitting ANY unfamiliar website, verify that it is legitimate.

Do NOT submit:

Fake retailer websites

Scam or suspicious websites

Websites impersonating established retailers

Unverified suppliers

Websites with questionable payment methods

Sources offering unrealistic prices

Retailers with obvious authenticity or product-condition concerns

For unfamiliar websites, verify the domain, business information, independent reviews, and overall legitimacy.

If you cannot confidently verify a source, DO NOT submit it.

Any questionable supplier must be flagged for review before the lead can be approved.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS

Every product must:

Be a brand we are already approved/ungated to sell

NOT be a generic or unbranded product

Match the EXACT Amazon listing, including variation, size, quantity, and packaging

Be in stock at the submitted purchase price

Have a correct Amazon ASIN and retailer source link

Have accurate profitability calculations

Have realistic competition and sales potential

Not have been previously submitted by another VA

Have no obvious authenticity, expiration, or product-condition concerns

Have no known restrictions preventing us from selling the product

Do not submit duplicate, expired, inaccurate, or misleading deals.

LEAD SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Each submitted lead must include:

Amazon ASIN and listing link

Retailer/supplier product link

Purchase cost and applicable discounts

Estimated profit per unit

ROI percentage

Net profit margin percentage

Estimated monthly sales

Current competing seller count

Buy Box price and relevant price history

Recommended purchase quantity

Relevant sourcing risks or important observations

All leads should be organized, accurate, and easy to review.
