Let’s start with the pros.
Think of a managed Amazon seller store as an investment that offers a return, just like you’d expect from any other asset in your portfolio. For each dollar you spend, there is an ROI attached to it, which comes in two ways: 1) As passive income — that beautiful arrangement when your money starts working for you; and 2) As financial freedom and independence that creates more time to enjoy your life, or work other investment ventures, and the peace of mind that brings to the entire equation, knowing that an experienced team of professionals is doing all the heavy lifting for you.
What has considered Amazon automation is really a system developed by experts who specialize in setting up and then operating seller stores that perform at their optimal efficiency and profitability. The management company has launched hundreds, sometimes thousands, of stores before. They know the Amazon platform, its policies, its supply chain, and have encountered and overcome every hurdle an online return business might face during the process. Partnering with a seasoned management partner takes all the guesswork out of the launch and operations of your store. It relieves the investor/owner of all the burdensome aspects normally associated with the trial-and-error phases of opening and running an e-commerce business. It also delivers a more seamless, trouble-free, and easier experience.
When you use Amazon automation, the FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon) program takes the wheel, which will drive steady streams of revenues to your Amazon store and alleviate any need for you to handle the repetitive tasks that instead will be overseen by the specialists at your full-service management agency, which has proprietary technologies that are built to complete all the necessary functions that ensure a successful seller store.
Helpful and crucial services such as:
- Account setup and documentation with Amazon

- Data-driven pricing and scaling strategies

The full-service model — known as Amazon automation — but really implemented and executed by real people, at least at credible and high-quality management companies such as PushAMZ, has a lot of benefits.

Now we can address the cons.
Google the term “Amazon automation,” and no doubt, you’ll see posts claiming it’s a scam. Which will set off alarm bells about the managed model as yet another online “too-good-to-be-true” opportunity that really isn’t. The risks are there because of all the illegitimate agencies that tout their services and claim to have the same experience and expertise as an industry leader like PushAMZ. But the problem is, they don’t. And that’s where the “it’s a sham” stigma originates — from fly-by-night agencies pretending to know what they’re doing, while experts at PushAMZ have been doing this for more than a decade and all we have to do is let our proven track record and historical profit data do the talking for us.
The full-service management model is also not meant for every type of seller store. It aligns with most businesses but isn’t the right fit for others. A single, individual-run store, with a specific brand, a specific line of products, and a dedicated team to run each department, doesn’t require the same level of operational support that we offer.
Conclusion of the cons for an Amazon FBA store (Fulfillment by Amazon):
- Be very careful who you choose as a seller store management partner. Frauds are out there.
- Inventory is purchased upfront, which means you must continually carry capital on hand.
- Amazon has limits on how fast accounts grow their sales volume (scaling).
Conclusion of the cons for an Amazon dropshipping store:
- Be very careful who you choose as a seller store management partner. Frauds are out there.
- Higher volume of account pauses due to nature of dropshipping
- Deactivations or suspensions are possible if metrics are not met. At PushAMZ, we know how to avoid these scenarios.
Our advice is: do your research. If the managed model seems right for the type of store you want, then choose a partner wisely. Find a reputable company such as PushAMZ that will deliver passion income, hands-off operational time savings, and the peace of mind that every investor expects from an asset in their portfolio.
