product types to be wary of.
 
This Lesson Covers: 
1. Products to Avoid 
2. Check the Community  
3. Wrap Up 
4. What’s Next 
5. Action Step 
1. Products to Avoid 
Before starting this lesson, download and print the PDF of the list of products to 
avoid (included with the lesson video). Avoiding these items will save you time 
and money. This list includes products that could be incredibly competitive, 
have patent issues, import issues, etc. 
 
Included in the PDF is a list of general product types. While you can still pick an 
item from this list,
use caution and do research​
before moving ahead.

Easily Breakable 
Products made of glass or a fragile material can cause issues with returns. 
While the responsibility of shipping is with Amazon, having too many returns 
will reflect poorly on your business and isn’t good for the health of your 
account.  
 
You can still move forward with this type of product, but you will need to make 
sure your product is well packed, which might cut into your profit margin.  
 
Hazmat 
These products are usually combustible or dangerous to ship. Amazon does 
not permit FBA shipments for these kinds of products, so we recommend you 
stay away from any product of this type.  
 
Lithium Ion Batteries 
Lithium ion battery products fall under the hazmat issue due to the type of 
battery. Products with lithium batteries usually have to be shipped via ship 
because they can’t be shipped by air.  
 
Products with lithium batteries are sometimes not eligible for Amazon’s 
two-day or overnight delivery. Some products with very small lithium ion 
batteries can be exempt, but make sure to do your research.  
 
You will be required to fill out an MSDS lithium battery exception sheet and 
have it approved by Amazon.

While these products are not impossible to sell, make sure to do your research.

Multiple Variations 
Variations are different versions of the same product, and only differ in color, 
size and quantity. The main reason for caution is establishing which variation 
is the best version, due to Amazon showing the same BSR for all variations.  
 
Currently Amazon is experimenting with individual BSR. If a product that has 
variations shows individual BSR’s then it is possible to pick this product. 
However, make sure to use the best-selling version as the primary or 
competing product.  
 
When you make your product order, do not order a variety of colors, sizes, etc. 
Products with variations can be a good choice to sell, as long as you have 
done the proper research.  
 
Plugs into Electrical Sockets 
Reasons to be cautious about these types of products:  
 
1.
Liability issues due to a faulty product causing harm 
2. Quality 
3. Safety requirements in any country you’re selling in

If you want to move forward with this type of product, make sure to follow the 
guidelines below:  
 
Make sure the product is high quality - samples and inspections  
Do research into the safety requirements 
Consider liability insurance 
 
If you follow these guidelines and do you research, products with plugs can be 
profitable.  
 
Textiles 
We generally advise caution with textiles due to the higher import duties and 
specific labeling guidelines. Textiles include a wide range of products (too 
large to cover in one lesson). If you are interested in pursuing textiles and 
would like additional information, check out the
FAQ post in the Community​.  
 
Weapons Related 
Amazon has recently starting restricting weapon related products. This mainly 
applies to advertising on their platform. They may restrict any listings that 
they consider to be weapons.  
 
Patented 
Any products that have a patent or patent pending must be avoided.
This is 
will be covering additional information on patents in a later module.
