01 Practical Example

Let’s work through a simple example in which you are an FBM Prime Seller for a certain product. You have the Min price* for this product set to 5 and the Max is set to 15.

*When adjusting your Min price, bear in mind that it must include your shipping costs. (if you are using cost-based Repricing and have entered your costs, Repricer.com will set your Min and Max for you).

You have your Default Rule switched ON, and it's set to Below the competition by 0.02 (amount).

You have 3 Competitor Rules:

  1. If you are FBM and your competitor is FBM Prime = Match price.

  2. If you are FBM and your competitor is FBM = Price above by 0.02.

  3. If you are FBA and your competitor is FBA = Match price.

You have 3 competitors (A, B, and C).

  1. Competitor A is FBM and their price is 9.50 (+2.50 shipping), so 12.
  2. Competitor B is FBM Prime and their price is 11.
  3. Competitor C is FBA and their price is 10.50.


These competitors are run through the Rules and a price is generated for your item for each competitor.

The results:

  • Competitor A matches Competitor Rule 2 so the price generated for you for this competitor is 12.02.

  • Competitor B matches Competitor Rule 1 so the price generated for you for this competitor is 11.

  • Competitor C does not match any of your Competitor Rules (you are not FBA in this instance)
  • The Default Rule is not checked as Competitor Rules 1 & 2 matched.

Competitor Rule 1 is applied as it has achieved the cheapest price of the Competitor Rules.

While this scenario is quite simplistic, it does highlight an important point: You should always try to create intelligent Competitor Rules and cover yourself for all scenarios.
