Tom Wang clobbers me with ads harder than a Scottie Scheffler drive on a long par 5.
He’s been hawking his FBA Masterclass program for years now.
It apparently costs anywhere from $7,000 to $13,000, depending on the package.
With 7,400 students, that’s at least $52 million for Team Tom.
Jeez, no wonder the guy seems to travel and golf and drink wine for a living.
Are we supposed to believe we can buy wall-mounted toothpaste dispensers off Alibaba for a few bucks, sell ’em on Amazon for $19.99, and live like Tom?
Read on for my FBA Masterclass review.
I’m gonna give Tom’s bum a good sniff, just to make sure everything checks out.
At first glance, his course seems solid.
- They’ve got an Excellent 4.4 stars on Trustpilot after 195 reviews.
- Better Business Bureau gives them an A+ rating despite having 16 complaints in just the last three years.
- And FBAMasterclass.io is absolutely spammed with supposed student wins.
Right? But then you read Reddit and start to have doubts.
It’s like hitting on an absolute snack at the club, only to realize she’s your height with an Adam’s apple – like, dawg, something’s not adding up.
Case in point: Patricia’s review.
She flat-out advises against wasting your money, saying the program has “zero substance.”
She basically describes the training as scraps tossed into a pig trough, swarming with flies under the scorching sun.
Oh, but she didn’t stop there.
Patricia ranted about the lack of support, the cancelled calls and in-person events, and how the so-called “coaches” spend more time reminiscing about their Amazon glory days than teaching anything useful.
“It’s weird that no one from this company is still active on Amazon,” she pointed out.
Her advice?
Do your homework and proceed with extreme caution before you so much as consider joining FBA Masterclass.
Damn. Patty ATE and left NO CRUMBS.
Another student was pressured to pay $13k for the “mentoring tier” on their first sales call.
After shelling out an additional $3k to launch their product, they were pelted with one unexpected expense after another, none of which were disclosed during Tom’s pitch.
And you’d think, for that kinda money… it’d be Tom mentoring you, right?
Try again.
It was just some random person who was more of a motivational speaker than an actual Amazon FBA expert.
Needless to say, this student wasn’t feeling it.
Then their daughter developed a medical condition, time was tight, bills were piling up – so they asked for a refund twice by email.
Both times, they got shut down harder than a missionary in a white shirt and black tie, knocking on doors with a bike parked out front.
My point is this:
Don’t let the fluffy, 5-star “Tom Wang and his team truly care about your success” reviews lull you into joining FBA Masterclass.
The model is fine, I guess, if you’ve got the money and patience for it.
But if you ask me?
Tom’s gotten greedy and now lives too high off the hog for FBA Masterclass to be worth it at this point.
It’s not a scam per se, but you’re better off paying a fraction of that to someone still in the trenches, who’ll hold your hand and support you themselves.
Got it? Good.
Now scram before my bouncer Ivan drags you out the back and tosses you in a dark alley with all the junkies and perverts.
Q&A
Q: Tom Wang net worth?
A: Based on what I said earlier, it’s gotta be in the tens of millions. But we shouldn’t compare ourselves to Tom. We’re just big animals meant to bust open shells and start fires. We can’t be expected to pass Organic Chem, keep up with all 600 Kardashians, and be as rich as every guru spamming our newsfeed.
Q: Did Tom ever make money actually doing Amazon FBA?
A: Legend has it, he and his wife had a legit brand called Sdara Skincare, which they exited for seven figures. But that was many moons ago, back when the competition was a fraction of what it is today. Ever since, Tom’s been busy selling the dream.
Q: What is the success rate of FBA?
A: It’s tough to nail down, but estimates suggest maybe 10-20% of sellers achieve significant, sustainable profits. The other 80-90% get stuck with saturation, itty-bitty margins, and rising costs, leaving nothing but shame and shrapnel in their wallets.
Q: So is Amazon FBA still worth it?
A: For me? Nah, it never was. Why wrestle with Amazon when I can drop $10 on a domain, have ChatGPT whip up some content, rank it on Google, and watch the cash roll in on repeat like a bad habit I can’t quit?
Q: Are you saying I should do SEO instead?
A: Either that, or become a sexual plaything for an eccentric millionaire and live in their guesthouse. Here’s a video on local SEO just in case.
