Catalogue Scanner
Drop in a supplier price list. Get profit, ROI, and Buy Box verdicts per ASIN — live from Amazon UK SP-API.
Total replaced: £95+/month · Our incremental cost: £0 (included with Tools tier (£59/month))
The Catalogue Scanner is the workhorse most UK FBA sellers don't realise they need. You drop in a CSV from a wholesale supplier — five thousand rows of ASINs and prices — and within a few minutes you have a filtered list of which products will actually be profitable on Amazon UK at your buy price. No copying ASINs into SellerAmp one at a time. No guessing whether Tactical Arbitrage's US-built logic is accounting for UK VAT correctly. Just upload, wait, click Compete to see the green-light rows.
Every fee, every Buy Box price, every fulfilment cost comes from a live SP-API call — the same data Amazon uses when it actually pays you out. The verdict respects your account settings (VAT-registered or not, target ROI, prep cost per unit, supplier VAT status) so the math reflects YOUR business, not a generic US-seller assumption.
We built this because every existing UK option either charges $70+/month, can't handle UK VAT properly, or treats arbitrage as a private-label afterthought. Free tier covers 100 ASINs/month per scan — enough to test if it works for you. Tools tier (£59/mo) unlocks 2,000-ASIN scans. Mentorship unlocks unlimited.
How it works
- 1
Upload your supplier list
CSV, XLSX, or XLS. ASIN in the first column. Optional buy price in the second. We auto-detect headers — even if you forgot to remove them.
- 2
Live SP-API scan
For every ASIN we pull current Buy Box price, lowest FBA offer, fees breakdown, FBA seller count, brand, sales rank, and 30-day price range. Average scan rate: 50-80 ASINs/minute depending on Amazon throttling.
- 3
Personalised verdict
Each row gets a Buy / Maybe / Avoid traffic-light based on your stored member settings — VAT status, target ROI, prep cost. Same scan run by two different sellers will give different verdicts (because the math is different).
- 4
Filter, sort, save
Filter by verdict, profit threshold, margin, ROI, sales velocity. Save your favourites to /dashboard/wins as "Researching" deals — the deal-watcher cron then monitors them for Buy Box drops and pings you when something moves.
Catalogue Scanner vs Tactical Arbitrage (Wholesale)
Frequently asked questions
How accurate are the profit numbers?
Every fee and price comes straight from Amazon's Selling Partner API — the same data Amazon uses to bill you. The only assumption is your prep cost per unit, which you set once in member settings. If you change supplier prep arrangements, update that figure and re-scan.
Does it support both VAT-registered and non-VAT-registered sellers?
Yes. Set your VAT status once in member settings (Account → VAT) and every scan factors it in automatically. The scanner extracts output VAT from your sell price for VAT-reg sellers, ignores it for non-reg sellers, and reclaims input VAT on Amazon fees for VAT-reg sellers only.
What's the scan rate limit?
The free tier processes 100 ASINs per scan, with one scan per month. Tools tier (£59/mo) gets 2,000-ASIN scans, unlimited scans per month. Mentorship (£97/mo) gets unlimited ASINs per scan AND unlimited scans.
Can I scan multiple supplier lists at once?
Yes — upload as many parallel jobs as your tier allows. Each scan runs independently; you'll get an email + Discord ping when each one finishes.
What formats does it accept?
CSV, XLSX, and XLS. First column must contain the ASIN (10-character alphanumeric). Optional second column for buy price. Headers are auto-detected and skipped — don't worry about cleaning the file.
What if an ASIN is gated or restricted for my account?
The scanner flags it in the results with a "Restricted" badge. If you have ungating documents that have worked for the brand before, the Ungate Database may have them — we link directly to the relevant entry from the result row.
How does this compare to Tactical Arbitrage Wholesale?
Tactical Arbitrage is the closest US-built competitor — strong feature set but designed primarily for US sellers, so UK VAT handling is treated as a flag rather than a personalised setting, and the fee data lags real-time SP-API by a few minutes. Our scanner is UK-first and uses live SP-API throughout. Pricing: Tactical Arbitrage costs ~$70-89/month; ours is included in your Tools-tier (£59/mo) or Mentorship membership.
Can I use this without joining Inner Circle FBA?
The free tier (100 ASINs/month) works without any commitment — sign in with Discord, upload, scan. The bigger tiers require Tools (£59/mo) or Mentorship (£97/mo) membership which bundle the scanner with the rest of the suite.
