What is better FBA or FBM?

FBA (Fulfilled By Amazon) vs FBM (Fulfilled By Merchant):

FBA is great for high volume, higher margin products where sellers don’t want to handle storing and shipping the products out. FBM is great for smaller scale, small margins products or one-offs and they don’t mind storing and shipping out the products. If you like having more control over your inventory then FBM is for you, however, if you like the idea of Amazon storing and dealing with returns then FBA is the way to go.
