- 1
Pick your market
Choose the country you sell in — it sets the marketplace and the postage cost used in the maths.
- 2
Search a model number
Exact model numbers match far better than general descriptions.
- 3
Set your floor

Read the warnings
Slow sellers and brands that remove reseller listings are flagged before you spend.
- 5
Ask the AI
One tap gives you units to buy, what to check on arrival, a bundle idea and when to sell.

Save what works
Keep the search and switch on the alert so you hear when margins improve.
