Arbitron Reviews & Product Details

Arbitron is a sourcing tool for Amazon sellers who buy from wholesalers or work online arbitrage, and it is built around how that work actually happens: a supplier sends a list, and someone has to figure out which lines on it are worth buying. That is where Arbitron starts. Forward the supplier email or upload the Excel or CSV file, and Arbitron reads the products and your purchase prices out of it, then runs the list against the Amazon marketplaces you picked: Germany, the UK, France, Italy and Spain, together or one at a time. What comes back is calculated with your setup instead of a generic template. You tell Arbitron once whether you ship FBA or FBM, what you pay for prep and storage, and how VAT applies to you; referral and FBA fees come from the marketplace data. Margin, ROI, profit per unit and estimated monthly sales are worked out on those terms for every line. Filter by ROI, margin, sales or BSR until you are down to the handful of products worth a decision, and export the result to Excel if you want it in your own sheet. The decision itself belongs in the detail calculator, and that is where sellers spend the real time. Open a product and you can check the numbers rather than trust them: the full fee breakdown, current offers and which sellers hold them, Buy Box share over time, and Keepa price and BSR history. Arbitron also flags what should stop a purchase: IP and private-label risk, Amazon selling the product itself, an offer monopolized by a single seller, prices that swing hard enough to wipe out a margin, and cases where the same item sits cheaper on Idealo. Single products work the same way, by ASIN, EAN, UPC, ISBN or an Amazon URL. Arbitron runs as a web app, as a Chrome extension that puts the same data on Amazon product pages, and on a phone, where a barcode scanner in the browser covers sourcing in stores and at trade fairs. There is a free tier and several paid plans; supplier list imports sit on the higher ones.
