fba.market vs B-Stock

B-Stock auctions Amazon's retail returns. We allocate FBA third-party seller products through a bidding sheet, no auctions.

B-Stock is Amazon's official liquidation marketplace, selling returns from Amazon's own retail inventory through per-lot auctions. We take a different approach: sourcing products from thousands of independent FBA sellers across Europe and distributing them through a bidding sheet with waterfall allocation. No auction fatigue, predictable pricing, and full warehouse services.

How It Works: Side by Side

B-Stock

B-Stock runs per-lot auctions. Each lot is a sealed manifest of products. You bid against other buyers on each lot individually. If you win, you pay and arrange shipping. If you lose, you start over. Auctions run on fixed schedules, so you need to monitor them constantly.

fba.market

We use a bidding sheet. You set your bid percentage, capacity, and preferences across 27 categories and 6 price ranges. Products are allocated automatically via waterfall: highest bidder fills first. Set it once, receive products for months. Full warehouse services included.

Common B-Stock Pain Points

→

Auction fatigue

Every lot requires active monitoring and bidding. Professional buyers spend hours per week on B-Stock auctions instead of running their business.

→

Unpredictable costs

Auction prices vary by competition. You might pay 8% one week and 15% the next for similar inventory. No predictable unit economics.

→

Limited EU inventory

B-Stock's strongest offerings are in the US market. European buyers face limited selection and higher shipping costs.

→

No services

B-Stock is a pass-through marketplace. You arrange your own shipping, sorting, and testing. No warehouse services available.
