Quick question: if you’re checking your email on your iPhone, do you visit Chrome or Safari, type in your email site address and enter in your login info? Or do you just tap the email app and automatically check your emails that way? Yeah, RepricerExpress prefers the latter, too, so let’s see if the Amazon Seller app is as good as advertised.
Use the Amazon Seller App if You Want To…
- Quickly check up on your orders: One of the most common ways to keep tabs on your sales is to divide up your year into quarters. And for a lot of sellers, the fourth quarter tends to be crunch time when quotas are either being met on time or in need of an extra little boost to get there. The Amazon Seller app makes it ridiculously easy to check how your orders are coming along, with a simple interface that’s easy to read and track.
- Email your customers: Good, regular communication with your buyers is one of the most important practices you can maintain as an excellent seller. Plus, the time it takes you to respond is something Amazon keeps an eye on when it comes to grading your account health, so the app is a fantastic add-on for the times you’re just not in front of a computer.
- Check disbursement amounts: Selling on Amazon is most definitely not a static process, and being able to make quick decisions on the fly regarding your cash flow is easy with the app.
- Reprice your products: Using RepricerExpress should always be your number one go-to because it’s fast, easy and does it all. But if there’s an item or two you want to manually override and reprice yourself, then check out this feature on the app to do it yourself whenever you want.
- Identify Hazmat or restricted items: There are just going to be some items you can’t sell on Amazon, no matter how much you know there’s a market for them. If something you’re potentially interested in is a Hazmat or restricted item, then the Amazon Seller app will tell you so you don’t make a listing for it and get in trouble with the marketplace.
- Check up on how your FBA shipments are doing: As anxious as your buyers are to receive their purchase on their doorstep, sellers are just as anxious to know they’re upholding their end of the bargain. What’s really cool about this feature is you can see which stage of shipment it’s in, whether it’s in transit, being process or all done.
What We Think Needs to be Added to the Amazon Seller App
For a slickly-produced ‘professional’ app, we think it’s pretty darn neat and effective as it is. But if some magic genie were to grant us three wishes, here are some of the things we’d like to see added to it.
1. Being able to link to the Keepa and CamelCamelCamel extensions: Tons of Amazon sellers use these two popular extensions to make product sourcing decisions, and not having them linked up to the app means you have to make do without sourcing until you’re back in front of a computer. While it’s not the biggest deal in the world, it would be awfully nice to be able to source price and sales rank histories so you can make educated decisions about what you sell.
2. Being shown all the fees factored into a product’s price: The price of an item is never just the final price, as you have to factor in things like shipping costs, taxes, customs fees and more. Of course, you could always just do the rough math in your head, but what if you make a mistake? It could end up being very costly for you and the Amazon Seller app is way overdue with including this.
3. More options on the lowest price for new and used products: Say you’re searching for a product and want to see its 10 lowest prices. Well, you can’t. It’ll only show you the lowest price on new and used products. And hey, what about calculating how much profit there is on variously-priced items? Again, you can’t. The app will only show you the total profit on the lowest priced new and used products, which kind of sucks if you want to compare the profitability of differently-priced items so you can choose if selling it at a higher price actually makes better sense for you.
You know how we said one of the best parts of the Amazon Seller app is that you can quickly reprice an item if you think it’ll make an immediate difference in its selling time? That’s pretty handy if you’re dealing with items on one-off basis, but a terrible idea if you’re talking about your entire inventory. Odds are overwhelming that you just have way too many products to price and reprice, so using RepricerExpress just makes the most logical sense. But to become a smart, special snowflake, you’ve first gotta sign up for your 15-day free trial.
