Can I purchase kitchen items from Dollar tree store in bulk and sell on Amazon?
After reading all the comments and issues, I am little afraid to sell on Amazon as a new seller. My bussiness model is wholesale FBA. I want to purchase items from dollar tree store and sell on Amazon. Is it allowed or am I violating any law?

What you are trying to do isn't really wholesale, but retail arbitrage. Search the forum for that.

Its against Amazons law I believe, but not eBay's. Amazon might ask for an invoice from the manufacturer, and you will only have a dollar store receipt, and you will lose your account, money and stock.
Have you thought about the price for shipping the product, or for FBA there are fees involved as well. Don't forget about their platform fee's. What will you make? Will it turn into a hobby?
Do some research into something niche to sell. Dig down deep and search the internet. Put in the work.
Keep this in mind. There really is no easy way to go. There is no get rich quick. Hard work and research is the way to go. You tube isn't going offer good info to help you.
Don't forget to view seller university over and over again.
Good luck!

This is the reality of doing Retail Arbitrage now. More importantly did you look at how many people sell those same items? In fact look at any item available from china and realize that the prices the companies in china are offering will not allow you to make enough of a profit IF you get any sales.
