Guest post by Mike Begg from AMZ Advisers Amazon has continued to level the playing field for all sellers by creating more uniformed policies and restriction across all categories. They are also attempting to increase competition by making more features available in the Seller Central platform. Features that were previously available only to vendors are now open to brand registered sellers. More recently, 2018 Vendor Agreements have come out and many vendors are finding that Amazon has almost increased their fees by 100%. We believe that this shows Amazon wants to continue to push everyone to the third-party Seller Central platform. The challenge for third-party sellers is how do you get your product to rank in an increasingly competitive and level playing field. Vendors moving to Seller Central may be able to offer lower pricing particularly if they manufacturer their product. This will make your pricing more important than ever and a reason why using repricing tools for Amazon like RepricerExpress will be extremely valuable moving forward. The only way to successfully rank your product is through building sales history. Testing new price points can

Guest post by Amanda O’Brien, Amazon and eBay Expert Every week I get a surprisingly high quota of emails from people who are looking for advice on a particular subject. It’s a subject that I am always delighted to hear about and a subject that actually makes me smile and have a little chuckle to myself! For example, just recently I received an email from a Source Report member who told me: “Hi Amanda, I’ve been selling online for around 6 months now and my business has started to take off – in fact because I’m also working full time in my usual job, I’m finding that I’m up till all hours packing up orders and answering emails…I’m really totally exhausted….” Exhausted is quite a strong word. And I sometimes wonder is it really code for: “I’m up till all hours packing up orders and answering emails… which means I have missed the last 3 episodes of EastEnders…” That might sound harsh, but a few years ago I went to a seminar where I clearly remember this one guy coming onto the stage and showing

If you’re not using RepricerExpress, there’s a chance your Amazon repricer isn’t cutting it. Look at these three ways you’re missing out on potential sales and higher margins by using a repricer that isn’t RepricerExpress.   1. Your Repricer Isn’t Winning You the Buy Box The Buy Box is like the Golden Ticket or World Cup. Winning it means an in to the next level and an unforgettable experience. Once you’ve gained possession of it, you can also leverage it to take advantage of more sales, take advantage of that to gain more reviews, and keep the cycle going. But if your repricer isn’t giving you a solid shot at the Buy Box, it’s time to examine why. Does it not have enough rule options you can adjust? Does it not apply the rules quickly enough? Does it show you a product’s history, including its Buy Box performance? Well, it should. And we do. A good repricer is value in what you pay for and there are few things on Amazon more valuable than winning a Buy Box.   2. A Good Repricer Factors in
