Amazon FBA, which stands  for Fulfillment by Amazon, is a service provided by Amazon that allows sellers to store their products in Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Amazon then takes care of the storage, packing, and shipping of these products to customers, as well as handling customer service and returns. This enables sellers to focus on other aspects of their business while Amazon handles the logistical aspects.
