FBA.com domain name for Fulfillment by Amazon — Amazon buys

European firm with FBA acronym sells FBA.com domain name to Amazon.com.

Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) has purchased the three-letter domain name FBA.com, most likely since of its popular Fulfillment By Amazon program.

Fulfillment By Amazon, commonly know as just FBA, is a service in which Amazon.com stores, picks, packs and ships products on behalf of other firms. This includes both firms selling products through the Amazon marketplace as well as ecommerce sites that want Amazon to handle fulfillment for them.

Selling products on Amazon through FBA has become very popular. It’s even turned into a bit of a solopreneur business opportunity. Listen to this DNW podcast from June to learn more regarding it. There’s a firm in Austin that raised over $10 million to buy and build FBA businesses.

FBA.com was previously owned by a Great Britain firm called Fee Based Advisors LLP.
