Arbitrage

Home > Glossary

When another seller buys a discounted retail product and then sells it, often for a higher price, stealing sales from the official retailer.

Generally, Amazon frowns on arbitrage and will prevent it if the official retailer restricts other sellers from selling their own products. Helium 10’s Alerts tool helps sellers discover arbitrage when it happens against their products.
