As someone who just got accepted to Seller's Central, this has helped a bunch in wrapping my head around using Amazon as a platform. After going through @BowTiedPlankton's substack I've pinned down a product that I'm private labeling/launching a brand for as my first go. Leaning towards using MCF through Amazon as my primary means of fulfillment (paired with Shopify). Are there additional drawbacks to consider with MCF as a primary fulfillment model? I'm guessing there's also a risk of Amazon taking down your listing as with any product, but think it's a better model to start on as you also have Amazon as a channel to sell through as well (instead of finding a separate 3PL - then adding an Amazon listing AFTER). Or, would you recommend someone stick to FBA first?
