However, only FBA sellers can have eligible items for Prime\u2019s two-day shipping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why is this?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, <em>Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)<\/em> is a method that sellers use on Amazon in which they send their products directly to Amazon\u2019s warehouses. Amazon then stores these items in their warehouses and then ships them directly to customers. This enables them to execute Prime\u2019s two-day shipping option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, <em>Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) <\/em>refers to a method that sellers use in which they sell their products on Amazon but also manage the shipping, storage, and customer support for the products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Since FBM sellers ship the products themselves and do not use Amazon\u2019s services, there\u2019s no possible way for them to. Hence, their products are typically not eligible for Amazon Prime.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_There_Anything_That_Can_Be_Done_About_This\"><\/span>Is There Anything That Can Be Done About This?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the product you\u2019re looking for is only being sold by FBM sellers, then you\u2019re out of luck. It simply means that the product is only available through regular shipping and you\u2019re just going to have to wait until the item gets shipped out to you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#179ab6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em>We recommend that you search extensively on the Amazon marketplace to see whether or not that same product is being sold by some other seller; An FBA seller.&nbsp;<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you manage to find an FBA seller that is selling the same product on Amazon.
