I would steer clear of ARC
My Story: I signed up with ARC in February 2024, paying a $45,000 management fee. While my store generated some revenue, it was consistently in the red. After seven months of trickling sales, Amazon shut down my store. ARC attempted to get it reinstated but ultimately failed. After accounting for revenue, expenses, and the management fee, I am now out $58,163.87: REVENUE 5,984.97 Cost of Goods Sold 16,408.92 Dues & Subscriptions 2,739.92 Storefront Management 45,000.00 Total Expenses 64,148.84 Net Income -58,163.87 Final step: On March 20, 2025, I reached out to ARC via Slack, raising concerns about unexpected attempted charges on my credit card and the poor financial performance of my Amazon store. I also asked whether ARC would assist with startup expenses for a Walmart venture to help rebuild trust after the Amazon failure. ARC responded the next day, making it clear they would not offer support. Given my experience—unexpected costs, lack of transparency, failure to manage my Amazon store effectively, and unwillingness to take responsibility—I do not recommend ARC for e-commerce management. Proceed with caution.
