It's the question almost nobody asks out loud before they start: what happens if I order stock and nobody buys it? This is the honest answer, for Australians who are still deciding whether to sell on Amazon.
In this episode we cover:
• Why "doesn't sell" almost never means zero — and why slow is a fixable problem
• Exactly which money is at risk, and which costs keep ticking whether you sell or not
• The real Amazon Australia numbers: the $49.95 (excl GST) monthly Professional plan, the $0.99 per-unit Individual plan, referral fees of 6–15%, and fulfilment fees of $4.55 on a phone case versus $9.81 on an iron
• Dimensional weight — the trap that makes a 1,360g item charge like a 1,904g one, and why a bulky first product quietly makes your worst case worse
• Why daily storage charges turn a slow product into an expensive one
• The four real ways out: sell it down, sell it elsewhere, have it returned to you, or dispose of it
• What you keep even when a product fails — and the pattern behind the people this genuinely goes badly for
