We here at RepricerExpress do solemnly swear not to bamboozle you with too many details in this post. Selling on Amazon seems to include more and more options all the time, such as adding on Keepa and CamelCamelCamel to your regular bag of tricks. Curious how you can expand your repertoire? Okay, let’s go!   What are Keepa and CamelCamelCamel? Simple — they’re Chrome extensions you can add when it comes to sourcing products and how to make the best decisions possible. They’re fairly similar to each other when it comes to concept, but the actual nuts and bolts of them differ a bit. For instance, they both use colour-code graphs to convey information, but the types of information you get with each extension isn’t necessarily the same. For that reason, some sellers like to use both extensions as a package, while others gravitate to one over the other.   CamelCamelCamel Extension The price history graph is the first one you’ll see on CamelCamelCamel and you can configure the settings to display price history for the last month, three months, six months, year or all

Guest post by Kev from LifeSuccessEngineer In today's post, I wanted to share ways that you can automate your online arbitrage operations. This will be of particular interest to anyone starting out with their Amazon business. The process of buying low and selling high has is one of the best and easiest ways to getting started online but the process of automation and outsourcing becomes a little more difficult. Here's a beginner's guide to outsourcing and automation in five simple steps.   1. Always Think in Terms Of Time! When it comes to automation and outsourcing, time is what you are trying to save. The more you can get done in the same amount of time allows you to get more work done.   2. Spilt Your Business up Into Stages Online arbitrage, private label or any other Amazon business are business models that can be easily split into stages. For example: Stage 1 - Sourcing Stage 2 - Reviewing Stage 3 - Purchasing Stage 4 - Amazon Seller Central This really allows you to focus in on what the different components are to a business.

There are two kinds of online sellers in this world: those who sell within their nation’s or continent’s geographical boundaries, and those who don’t. If you’re thinking of exploring cross border ecommerce, then RepricerExpress has just the guide for you.   What is cross border ecommerce? Cross border ecommerce refers to online trade between a business (retailer or brand) and a consumer (B2C), between two businesses, often brands or wholesalers (B2B) or between two private persons (C2C). Cross border ecommerce has gained huge momentum in the last two years as customers purchase products from outside their borders. It is widely expected to continue to grow with sales set to reach $630 billion by 2022 with many major retailers expanding their cross border shipping options and geographical boundaries are becoming less and less important to consumers. Cross border ecommerce in China alone is worth $60 billion according to Bloomberg but legislation might impact it. As incomes in the country have risen, so has the demand for imported goods. In France, cross border purchases are the fastest growing ecommerce segment with nearly half of all French consumers

When thinking about possibly selling on Amazon FBA in Canada, many merchants might think, ‘But it’s such a small market. Why bother?’ And while it is a small market, RepricerExpress explores why opening your store to those hockey-playing, maple syrup-guzzling Canadians can work quite well in your favour.   You’ll Face Less Competition The American Amazon market is huge. But with such size comes a lot of competition and it can be difficult for sellers to stand out from the crowd. When you take a look at Canada, with a population of about just 35 million, everything is shifted to a smaller scale. The audience might be smaller, but the competition is also less intense. And before you think that Amazon’s capabilities in Canada are a little...underdeveloped, remember that two of its biggest cities, Toronto and Vancouver, get same-day shipping. Another four (Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal and Ottawa-Gatineau) get one-day delivery. These are millions of Prime members you could be working with.   Potentially Higher Profit Margins Because the Amazon FBA market in Canada is less intense than in other markets, there are fewer sellers.
