Where appropriate, sample options are listed below questions.
- If you currently have a pricing script - do you want the new request incorporated into the current script, or do you require a new (separate) script?
- What determines your minimum price?
- Based on cost (Note: you must provide the cost data).
- Based on flat rate (price items no lower than $5).
- Based on percentage of item’s base price (price items no lower than 50% of base price).
- If price matching or competing, what should be done when there is no competing item?
- Price at item’s base price.
- Leave price at whatever current price is on the marketplace (unchanged).
- Price at 80% of Amazon’s List price (Note: not always available).
- Do you want to specify a maximum price?
- Based on 80% of Amazon’s list price (Note: not always available).
- Based on 200% of your item’s cost (Note: you must provide the cost data).
- If beating or matching lowest marketplace price, is there a maximum discount you want applied?
- For example, many sellers only want up to a 5% shift in price towards lowest price during each reprice.
- If you want specific items suppressed from a marketplace or discounts to be applied based on characteristics of an item, what best uniquely signifies that characteristic?
- For example, if you want 1st Editions to be marked up by 10%, you’ll need to specify where to look and what the variations may be to designate a 1st Edition.
- Sample request: First editions contain "1st Ed" or "First Ed" in the note field; please mark those up by 10% for the Alibris Marketplace.
