# r/AmazonFBA: what members ask and how brands answer

r/AmazonFBA calls itself the unofficial Amazon FBA subreddit, and a seller directory describes it as a focused community for FBA sellers to share tips, ask questions and discuss FBA-specific challenges. Threads cluster around operations: picking a third-party warehouse, keyword research tools, advertising spend, branding, and finding a mentor or business partner. Requests for service providers are frequent, which makes it a room where agencies and software vendors are discussed by name. We found no copy of the written rules, so the self-promotion policy is unknown; read the sidebar before posting. A reply that earns attention answers with fees, timelines and trade-offs from real operations, names several options with your tie disclosed, and never doubles as an offer of mentoring.

Community rules change. Read the sidebar and the pinned rules in r/AmazonFBA before you post. [r/AmazonFBA on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonFBA/)
