I have not found opportunity in doing this. Basically every product that is eligible for FBA on Alibaba is already on Amzn five times over.

The opportunity is in creating your own products and brands and selling on Amazon. In that sense, you already have a valuable business model that would exist without Amazon, but FBA is just a great sales channel and platform for doing that selling directly rather than traditional means of selling to distributors, retail stores, etc.

That's my experience as well and creating+marketing a brand new product is a ton of work.
