Insights for marketplace sellers

Most sellers lose the Buy Box because their repricer reacts every few minutes. We break down the cadence, channel-aware floors, and margin guards that hold the rotation through a weekend traffic spike without bleeding margin.

Amazon's mid-year fee adjustments hit sellers who never re-baselined their margins. Here is the spreadsheet we use to model the new storage and fulfillment tiers against current SKU velocity — and the pricing moves to schedule before the cutover.

A MAP problem rarely announces itself with a single bad actor. We look at the three leading indicators — sustained sub-floor pricing, accelerated stock turnover at violators, and sudden buy-box rotation — that tell you enforcement is overdue before your channel manager flags it.

If your floor is a single number, your supplier will find it. We share the framework CompeteIQ customers use to anchor landing cost against channel-level fees, ad spend, and return rates — so the floor survives a quarterly renegotiation.

Title rewrites, image swaps, bullet rewording — without clean attribution every one of those edits is a guess. We walk through the instrumentation that ties a single listing change to its revenue impact across Amazon and eBay.

Repricing that ignores aged inventory burns margin on SKUs you should be liquidating, and over-prices the ones you have plenty of. We map the age-cohort rules CompeteIQ's customers ship first, and the two exceptions where they break them on purpose.
