With channel mapping on amazon I can be on more than one

Postby Mark2356 on Fri Jul 30, 2010 8:11 am

listing for an item.

I was thinking of doing this but with price matching rather than the same price on all so that we stay competitive across the board while still getting the best margin on each one.

Has anyone tried this and were there many kick on issues?

Sorry I know it does that but I was more worried about what might happen out in the real world once I was doing it.

it would mean i was selling the same item for more than one price - if I was price matching on the other listings.

At an extreme - if I only had one single item but on ten listings this would not look good in my store front - which I suspect not that many people use - but maybe this is not true.
So I was wondering if anyone was doing it and what level and type - if any - of kick on problems they have had with customers or I suppose even with Amazon since that might be an issue in itself.

Hello,

On average for each item we have in Linnworks we have 4 listings on Amazon, this works out at about 2200 listings on Amazon. Generally most of the items have different prices even though they are the same item, due to price matching and the different rate of commission in the different categories.

We have had no problems doing this, they do all appear in your store front, but luckily they do not group together in any obvious fashion :-)

You are a star - thank you so much for feeding that back - problem sorted - I spent all weekend um/ah/um problems if this or that etc.

Has anyone complained - ever - or do they really just not use the store front.

Ours are liable to be in the same category - what do you think ?
