Above the checker's default limit of 10 hours a week. - Customer/revenue concentration not disclosed. - Generic reason for sale. The Seller would like to explore other opportunities. ## Green flags - The listing shows connected data providers: Amazon Seller Central, QuickBooks, Shopify, Google Analytics.

Any past incidents? - What share of revenue comes from the top 1 and top 3 customers (or traffic/affiliate partners)? - Why sell now, and what would you do with the business if it doesn't sell? - Provide a month-by-month P&L for the last 24 months with every cost line. - What exactly transfers (domains, code, accounts, trademarks, email lists, contractor relationships)? - Has the business ever had a platform ban, penalty, chargeback spike or security incident? ## What to verify - Store and payment-processor reports (Shopify/WooCommerce, Stripe, PayPal, marketplaces) reconciled to bank deposits - Landed cost per SKU, ad spend and refunds month by month, so the margin can be rebuilt - Inventory on hand, its valuation and whether it is included in the price - Supplier, 3PL and contractor agreements and whether they are assignable - Ad-account history (CPA, ROAS) and analytics by channel for the listing's 12 months - Trademark, domain and marketplace-account transfer requirements Payback at the asking price: 30.0 months on the stated average profit, 37.5 months if profit is 20% lower, 50.0 months if 40% lower. This is arithmetic on the listing's figures, not a valuation or a bid suggestion. ## Seller statements to check against evidence Quoted from the listing. Each is a reasonable thing for a seller to say and worth confirming with documents. - “The business works with a small group of established suppliers in China and the United States, with inventory distributed across Amazon FBA, AWD, and limited local storage.” - “Growth opportunities include increasing inventory levels to prevent stock constraints during peak demand, scaling profitable Amazon PPC campaigns, and expanding into external paid acquisition channels such as Meta, Google, and TikTok.” - “The business presents a stable foundation with consistent demand and multiple clear paths for growth.” Risks the listing itself discloses: An increase in Amazon ad pricing could make the ads unprofitable. Amazon can suspend or cancel your FBA account due to a breach of its terms of service (ToS). An increase in Paid Traffic pricing could make the ads unprofitable.
