Step 2. Activate PricePal

When the PricePal icon appears on the image, click it. The extension automatically searches Amazon for the same or similar product.

Step 3. View Sales Insights

A small pop-up window will display:

• Estimated Monthly Sales on Amazon
• Amazon Price
• Listing title and ASIN link to open the product on Amazon
• Review count or seller count if available

Step 4. Evaluate Results

• Demand: Higher monthly sales indicate stronger market demand.
• Profit Margin: Compare Amazon price after fees with supplier cost.
• Competition: Many sellers or thousands of reviews may indicate a saturated market.
• Listing Age: New products with good sales may represent emerging opportunities.

Step 5. Deep Dive Optional

Click the Amazon link in the pop-up to open the listing and explore Best Sellers Rank, customer reviews and feedback, and pricing strategy and variations.

5. Practical Tips and Best Practices

Validate Demand

Focus on products with at least 500 monthly sales on Amazon to ensure consistent demand. Avoid items with very low or irregular sales.

Check Profitability

Estimate quickly:

Profit = (Amazon price × exchange rate) − supplier cost − Amazon fees

Aim for at least 30% profit margin after costs.

Avoid Over Saturated Products

If the Amazon listing shows many sellers or a very high review count, competition may be strong. Consider finding alternatives with fewer competitors.

Spot Early Trends

New listings with solid sales and few reviews often represent new opportunities. These are worth tracking.

Use with Other Tools

PricePal offers a quick snapshot. For deeper research like historical sales or keyword demand, use SellerSprite’s main tools or Chrome extension.

Keep Updated

Data refreshes every 24 hours. Make sure your extension is updated for the latest marketplace and site support.

Handle No Match Cases

If PricePal cannot find a match, try similar images or search manually. Slight differences in packaging or branding can affect image recognition.

6. Troubleshooting

• No icon appears: Refresh the page or ensure it is fully loaded.
• Extension not responding: Check if you are logged in and using the latest version.
• Data not loading: Disable ad blockers or VPNs that may interfere.
• Wrong match: If the Amazon result looks different, ignore it or verify manually.

7. Why Use PricePal

PricePal helps you make data-driven sourcing decisions by combining supplier information with real Amazon market data. It allows you to verify product demand instantly, estimate potential profit margins, avoid low-demand or unprofitable items, and discover trending opportunities early.

8. Summary
