There are a lot of categories that you can choose for retail arbitrage. Listed below are some of the products and markets that have a considerable scope this year and are expected to continue selling well in the coming years. Sports and Outdoors: You will find tons of shops that offer discounted products or discounts during the different seasons of the year. For instance, you may find great products during football season, hunting season, and swimming for summer. There are plenty of great products to choose from, and you can either focus on a variety of products in one category or just one product from each category.  Fitness leggings are a great product that has been popular for years and will continue to sell well. This product caters to multiple niche markets and is a versatile commodity for anyone getting started in retail arbitrage. Fitness leggings are also extremely light, making them less expensive to ship. Bath and Kitchen: This is yet another growing industry on Amazon. New products are continually coming out, and there are many things you can do to make your bathroom and kitchen look and function better. This gives retail arbitrage sellers a massive opportunity to find and sell products that customers love. One bath and kitchen product that sells well is bamboo toothbrushes. With minimalism increasingly becoming a lifestyle choice for many people worldwide, retail arbitrage sellers can take advantage of this trend by selling products like bamboo toothbrushes.  Many customers are consciously choosing to search for more sustainable alternatives for many of the products they use in their homes, and that’s why products like bamboo toothbrushes are trending at the top of the list. Toys and Games: This outstanding category allows you to make sales throughout the year. It’s ungated, so you don’t have to get approval to sell products in this category, and you can start making money immediately. When choosing this category, remember that you may have to go through specific steps to get approval to sell toys containing minimal parts that children could accidentally swallow or toys with sharp edges that could harm a child. Plush toys are the perfect example of products you can get started with as a retail arbitrage seller. But, first, start selling toys because the toys have always been and continue to be popular. You can even bundle them with other products from your inventory to create an excellent opportunity to upsell your customers. Clothing and Shoes: With this category, you won’t get approval automatically as it is a gated category. To sell clothing and shoes on Amazon, you have to be selling for quite a while before you can apply.  Once you get approval, you will be in a much smaller group of sellers, which means there are fewer people for you to compete with. If you find clothing and shoes that have high brand value, it’s possible to make a killing on Amazon.  For instance, some brands can sell for $90 retail, and if you can get the products for $25-$30 and then sell on Amazon for $50-$60, you will make money very quickly. Of course, you can focus on many other categories, including beauty products, books (take a look at this guide), handbags, and many more. But as a beginner, try to focus on just a few categories to avoid getting overwhelmed by the sheer number of available products you can choose from. Pro Tip: Look for gift items as these offer massive opportunities over your competition. Also, check the best sellers rank (BSR, aside from sales rank) of the things you choose to see how high their chances of selling are.   For the most part, you should avoid selling anything with a BSR greater than 100,000 to protect your sales rank. A BSR on the lower end means that it is selling well, and ideally, you want a BSR of under 25,000.  25,000-50,000 is also okay, but if it’s above 50,000, you need to do additional research to ensure that your chances of selling the product are strong.
