FAQ

Every question, answered straight.

What it does, why it is worth buying when the fee numbers are free, and the honest answer to “which permissions does it need” — none.

What does AMZ Verdict do?

It tells you whether an Amazon product is worth selling — before you buy stock. Give it a product and it prices every Amazon fee against it, runs seven risk checks, and returns one verdict: Launch, Restructure or Don’t. No Amazon account, nothing to install.

Why should I buy instead of using free sources?

The fee numbers are public — you can find Amazon’s rate cards and add them up in a spreadsheet for nothing. Adding them up isn’t the hard part. Knowing whether the result is good enough to launch is: whether the margin survives a price war, whether the price sits in a dead zone, whether to sell as a 3P seller FBA business or a 1P vendor, and which of seven checks would fail and why. That judgement — not the arithmetic — is what AMZ Verdict is, and what you pay for. It concedes the fee maths openly and charges for the verdict.

Do I need to connect my Amazon account?

No — and you can’t. There’s no connection to Amazon of any kind: no Seller Partner API, no Advertising API, no OAuth, no tokens, no permissions to review. It reads Amazon’s published fee tables, not your account, so there’s nothing to set up and nothing to revoke later.

Does it cover multiple markets?

Yes — all 11 Amazon marketplaces: the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Sweden and Poland, each with every category Amazon publishes a referral rate for. Six markets are fully calibrated; the other five are fee-complete, and the tool says which next to the verdict rather than hiding it in a footnote.

Where do the fees come from — how accurate is it?

Amazon’s own published sources: Seller Central’s referral, fulfilment, storage and returns pages for the United States, and the European FBA rate card. Every table carries its source, the date it was verified and a declared confidence rating.

Does it cover both 3P seller FBA and 1P vendor?

Both, and that is unusual. Every product is judged twice — once as a 3P seller FBA business and once as a 1P vendor — because the same product can be viable in one channel and not the other.

What is a price dead zone?

A band of prices where charging more leaves you with less. It happens when crossing a referral “cliff” applies the higher fee rate to your whole price, not just the part above the threshold — so a higher sticker price can mean lower contribution per unit. AMZ Verdict finds these zones for your product and names the nearest clear price on either side.

Is it a subscription?

No. You buy it once and own that version outright — it’s a perpetual licence, not a rental. No monthly charge, no per-seat pricing, nothing that scales with your sales. If you never pay again, what you bought keeps working exactly as it did the day you bought it.

Is there a free trial?

You can try the full engine free — the complete profit and loss, all seven checks and the verdict — on 3 products in a single marketplace. That’s built to prove it works on a product you already know. But a real sourcing decision is rarely one product in one market: it’s a shortlist to compare, several of the 11 marketplaces to weigh, a whole range to rank. That’s what the licence is for — more saved products, every market, and the tools that compare them side by side.

Where is my data stored — is it private?

In your browser, and nowhere else. Your saved products, costs and margins never leave your device — the calculation runs entirely in the browser, so there’s nothing to send and nowhere to send it. That’s also why it keeps working with no connection, and why clearing your browser data deletes them for good.

Still deciding?

The fastest answer is to run one of your own products through it. It costs nothing and takes about a minute.
