If you’re doing retail or online arbitrage and you’re not using SellerAmp (aka SAS), you’re probably wasting time or missing out on profits. It’s a lightweight, focused tool built for sellers who need to make fast, informed decisions — without getting bogged down by unnecessary features. It’s not trying to be flashy. It just works.

What is SellerAmp Used For?

SellerAmp is purpose-built for two groups of Amazon sellers: retail arbitrage (RA) and online arbitrage (OA).

If you’re doing retail arbitrage, it becomes your best friend in-store. Scan a barcode with the mobile app and get instant feedback: profit, fees, eligibility, sales rank, and competition — all in one screen. You’ll know within seconds if a product is worth buying or not.

For online arbitrage, it shines as a Chrome extension. You open a listing or lead, click the SellerAmp icon, and get a full breakdown without ever leaving the page. It shows you profitability, restrictions, and risk factors right away. This is especially useful when working through lead lists like the ones we provide at OASource, where time and accuracy matter.

What SellerAmp Does Best

SellerAmp is all about clarity and speed. It doesn’t overwhelm you with a million features — instead, it focuses on helping you make faster, smarter sourcing decisions. Here’s what it does really well:

• Profit calculations are instant and accurate,
  with all Amazon fees and cost-of-goods included. You don’t need spreadsheets or external calculators — it’s built-in and real-time.
• Restriction checks are automatic.
  Whether you’re gated or not in a brand or category shows up immediately. This alone saves so much time — no guessing, no back-and-forth to Seller Central.
• Sales rank data and historical performance overlays are integrated.
  While not as deep as Keepa, the essential pricing and rank history are there to help you avoid bad buys.
• IP Alert system is a lifesaver.
  It warns you if a brand has a reputation for sending IP claims or causing seller issues. This gives you an extra layer of protection when evaluating leads.
• It’s lightning fast and lightweight.
  Unlike other tools that feel bloated or slow, SellerAmp responds instantly. Whether you’re scanning on your phone or clicking through a list on desktop, it never slows you down.
• You get both the mobile app and Chrome extension included,
  and they’re both solid. This combo lets you work efficiently in-store and at your desk without needing two separate tools.

This tool was clearly built for arbitrage sellers who value speed and precision. It helps you skip bad leads, catch restrictions early, and get through your sourcing list without wasting time.

Where SellerAmp Falls Short

That said, SellerAmp isn’t perfect — and it’s not trying to be. There are a few areas where it doesn’t compete with larger tool suites.

First, it has no inventory management or shipment features. You won’t be tracking stock levels or prepping shipments inside SellerAmp. If you need that, you’ll need to combine it with something like InventoryLab or Seller Central workflows.

Second, it doesn’t offer a profit dashboard or historical sales overview for your own store. It tells you whether a product is profitable before you buy — but once you’ve bought and sold it, SellerAmp doesn’t track your performance.

Third, the UI is basic. Some sellers might find it a little plain compared to more polished platforms. But honestly, once you’re used to it, the layout makes sense and stays out of your way.

Lastly, this is not the tool for keyword research, PPC management, or listing optimization. That’s not a flaw — it just wasn’t built for private label sellers or brand builders. SellerAmp is strictly for evaluating products, not launching them.

How I Personally Use SellerAmp

I use SellerAmp daily — both in-store and online. When I’m doing retail arbitrage runs, I scan products directly in the store with the SellerAmp app. Within two seconds I know whether I’m eligible to sell it, whether there’s a profit, and how competitive the listing is. That instant check saves me from overbuying, buying the wrong brands, or wasting time on low-ROI items.

For online arbitrage, SellerAmp is open in my browser any time I’m working through my OASource lead list. I take each lead, hit the SAS extension, and instantly get the breakdown — is it profitable, can I sell it, how fast does it move? If it checks out, I order. If not, I move to the next. It keeps my workflow fast and focused, and it’s the reason I can get through a list of leads in under an hour.

Price Point — Cheapest in the Game

This is where SellerAmp punches way above its weight. While Jungle Scout and Helium 10 charge $49 to $99 per month, SellerAmp starts at around $19 to $27 — and includes everything you need for OA and RA. That makes it one of the most affordable tools in the entire Amazon space, especially considering how crucial it is for deal analysis.

If you’re running lean or just getting started, this tool gives you pro-level insights without the premium price tag. It’s the perfect match for sellers working with lead lists, because you can scale your sourcing efforts without blowing your budget.

Final Thoughts

SellerAmp doesn’t try to be everything — and that’s what makes it so good. It’s a tool built for arbitrage sellers who care about speed, profitability, and smart decision-making. Whether you’re scanning barcodes in a store or working through a curated lead list from OASource, SellerAmp helps you make faster, safer buys.

If you’re serious about RA or OA, there’s no reason not to use it. It’s cheap, it’s fast, and it works.
