Return all results

Returns all results from an ID lookup. Please note that the MWS API will never return more than 10.

Only return top N by current Best Seller Rank
(only available on ID Lookup)

Returns the top N results in descending order of current (spot) BSR. The maximum is 10, which is effectively equivalent to returning all.

Only return first N items

Return the first N items, in the order returned by the MWS API. This will usually be by ‘relevance’ or by ‘featured’. The exact ordering is determined by Amazon.

Major Brands

Maintain a list of brands that are always ignored or filtered out. See Major Brands for details.

This screen also allows you to create customised filters that are executed on any built-in data point, which will not only eliminate results that simply aren’t worth investigating, but also speed up your runs by throwing out garbage results as early as possible, and not even bothering to download data for them when it’s no longer needed anyway.

Profit Calculation - Reference Offer

OrderingSelect the prices which are preferred for

Selection Order

Adjust which price is used as the Reference Offer (used in the default profit calculation). Prices are considered in the specified order and the first available one is used.

Sales Estimates - Rank Ordering

Select the

sales rank on which to base sales estimates.

Hazmat/Shipment Restriction Check Disclaimer

The Hazmat and Shipment Restricions columns will only show data if you agree to this disclaimer.

All analysed ASINs will need to be automatically added to your FBA inventory, with a 0 stock and no listing/offers or incoming shipments. Each will carry the prefix “PC2_” to make these easy to identify. In most cases this should not cause any issues, but if you do, the FBA Item Archiver tool can be used to archive these ASINs

order in which sales ranks are considered to create sales estimates. The first available rank is used to produce the default “Est. Sales / Month” figure, which also feeds into “Est. Share of Sales” and “Est. Share of Revenue”.

The special STOP entry allows you to prevent certain ranks from being considered. Only those above this entry will be used, the ones below are ignored.

Packaging Overrides

Since 3.0.10

Allows you to specify packaging to override “AMZ Multi Pack Qty" for items where Amazon catalog information is incorrect. The file is automatically reloaded on edit and uses the following comma separated format:

# <- lines beginning with a hash/pound are considered comments and blank lines are ignored, as are leading or trailing spaces.

Rules:
ASIN, packaging, marketplace ID(s)

Marketplace IDs are optional. If not specified, the override will apply to all supported markets. Otherwise specify one or more, also separated by comma, for targeted override.

Later rules can augment earlier ones. For example:

#Override packaging for ASIN 0000000000 with 5 for all markets:
000000000,5
#Override packaging for ASIN 0000000000 with 10 for markets US and UK only:
000000000,10,US,UK
#Override packaging for ASIN 0000000000 with 5 for all markets, but 10 for US and UK only
000000000,5
000000000,10,US,UK

Diagnostics:

When an override is triggered, the “Diagnostics” column will contain an entry showing both the original and the replacement value. This will allow you to adapt your override rules, for example where the Amazon catalog information has been updated.

ASIN Scoring

Allows you to create a biased score per product, assigning arbitrary points to the value of arbitrary built-in data points. This will speed up your analysis by prioritising promising products, and is much more powerful than the simple black & white approach used in Filters. However, you can also filter on the score itself!
