A recent report by ProPublica seems to have confirmed suspicions that Amazon's proprietary algorithms are weighted towards furthering its own retail business instead of necessarily offering consumers the best value deals. More often than not, Amazon leads customers to Prime-enabled and Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) listings first, meaning independent sellers are less likely to get business for that product.

ProPublica's report reflects Amazon's incredible growth; as the number of Prime users continues to skyrocket, Amazon has also opened 120 new US based fulfilment centres over the past year. They also currently offering Prime Now in over 30 cities in the US, 9 in the UK and many more worldwide. As it gains even more of the retail share market, it is becoming increasingly essential for sellers to know how to work the system to ensure continued sales.

One such way is by using FBA. Whilst it can have its downsides, …

Max Price Reset/Scheduled Max Pricing - Get the Amazon Buy Box at the Highest Price in One Click

Continually repricing down has been a bane of Amazon Sellers using Repricers. Although still massively effective at increasing profits, Repricers have had a habit of repricing downwards which was frustrating for users. The problem we get into is that Repricers don't usually price back up. Therefore once they pull your prices down and you get the Buy Box the prices can get stuck there, even when you could still have the Buy Box but at a higher price.

This gets more interesting as research shows that having the Buy Box is the vital thing here, not having the lowest price. So if we can get the Buy Box at a higher price there is a large additional profit to be quickly and easily made.

If the average seller who sells just 20 …

Seller Republic is happy to announce that continuous repricing (also known as instant repricing) is a standard on all accounts regardless of the price plan and at the same price! This ultimately pushes your price changes quicker; get's you the buy box quicker and fundamentally makes you more money.

What is Continuous/Instant Repricing?

Unlike much of the competition Seller Republic has stepped ahead in that we are notified of price changes on Amazon instantly and then process and send price updates to Amazon straight away rather than on the 15 minute or hourly rotor that many repricers are stuck to.

The way most repricers work is by checking prices hourly or every 15 minutes. If a price change has been made by a competitor that triggers your pre-set strategy, the repricer submits an updated price to Amazon and they then wait for the price change to be pushed live …
