The Amazon FBA deal analyser for UK sellers

Point your phone at a barcode in the aisle and the product loads in seconds, no typing. Barcode hidden under a reduced-to-clear sticker? Snap the front of the pack and the AI scanner reads the product for you. Prefer to work at a desk? Paste an ASIN or search by name. Doing online arbitrage? Click the browser extension on any online retailer's product page and it reads the title straight in, then right-click any price on the page to set it as your buy or sell price, no copy-pasting. Sourcing a whole shelf at once? Multi-scan mode queues every barcode you scan and lets you triage the winners afterwards.

Behind every product is live market data so you are never guessing. See estimated monthly sales and the current sales rank, the current, 30, 90 and 180-day Buy Box, how many other sellers are on the listing, and Amazon's referral fee and FBA fee for that item. It is the full picture a deal analyser should give you, in one screen.

Type in what you paid and the profit calculator does the rest. Pick which Buy Box window to sell against, choose FBA or FBM, set whether you are VAT-registered and the item's VAT rate, add storage months and quantity, and it returns your estimated profit and ROI with a full fee breakdown. Change a number and everything updates instantly, so you can pressure-test a deal in seconds.

Set the minimum ROI you are willing to accept and the max cost calculator works backwards: it tells you the most you can pay for a unit and still hit your target, at any Buy Box window, with your fees already deducted. Walk the aisle knowing your number, so a red-sticker price is an instant yes or no.

Not sure if a deal is worth it? Scout AI scores every product from 0 to 100, weighing ROI, demand, the number of competing sellers and how stable the Buy Box has been. A quick glance tells you "strong buy" or "avoid". Tap Explain my score and it highlights exactly which factor is holding a deal back, so you learn what a good deal looks like as you go.

Read a listing's story the way the pros do. Interactive charts plot the Amazon, New and Buy Box price alongside sales rank, plus estimated monthly sales and the seller count over the past year. Shading shows when Amazon was on the listing. Drag to zoom into any period and scrub across to read the exact value on any date.

The fastest way to lose money is a deal that looks good but isn't. retailscout flags the traps automatically: an oversupply spike where a flood of sellers has temporarily tanked the Buy Box (a dip that will recover, not a real price), possible IP or brand-gating signals, Amazon sitting on the Buy Box, and variations, hazmat or oversize items. You see the risk before you spend a penny.

A 60 percent ROI on a brand you are gated out of is not a deal. Connect your Amazon selling account and retailscout checks whether you can list a product before you buy it. This is not a warning inferred from the data like the gating signals above: it is Amazon's answer for your account, and it comes back as sell it now, approval needed, or restricted. Where approval is needed you get the link straight into Seller Central to apply. Eligibility is decided per selling account, so two sellers scanning the same barcode in the same aisle can get different answers, which is why a screenshot from someone else proves nothing about yours. Before a trip, the brand scan runs a representative list of brands through the same check and sorts them into what you can sell now, what needs approval and what is closed to you, so you know which lines are yours before you drive anywhere. The connection is read-only: retailscout never lists, never reprices and never acts on your account, and you can disconnect it in Settings whenever you like. Eligibility checks are included with every paid membership and start when your trial converts.

A profitable deal you can't actually sell is a dead deal. retailscout shows the live stock on a listing and, more importantly, how long it'll take you to sell through it. It counts the units in play across sellers, calls whether the listing is overstocked or understocked, and estimates your own sell-through from your buy quantity and the price you'd sell at, because buyers take the cheapest stock first, so pricing above the lowest pushes your timeline out. It reads Amazon sensibly too: when Amazon is on the listing with its deep stock it won't cry "understocked", and it discounts the share of sales Amazon wins so your numbers stay realistic. Sales are smoothed over three months so a one-off spike doesn't mislead you.

Competition decides whether you actually sell. See the split of who has been winning the Buy Box, and the full list of sellers on the listing sorted cheapest-first, with each seller's feedback and review counts. Every seller and Buy Box winner is tagged FBA or FBM, so you can see at a glance how much of the field is Prime. It's the difference between a listing you can win and one that will sit.

It's a web app, so there's no app store download. Add retailscout to your phone's home screen and scan in-store, open the full analyser on a bigger screen for deeper work, or use the Chrome extension to analyse the listing you're already viewing, on Amazon or on any online retailer's product page. Your history syncs across all of them.
