In July 2026, Amazon overhauled the rules governing access to the Featured Offe<\/strong>r, what everyone calls the Buy Box.<\/p>

Before this change, a seller with degraded performance metrics (order defect rate, late shipment rate, low valid tracking rate) was simply locked out of the competition. No Buy Box, regardless of price.<\/p>

That filter has just been removed.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What this actually means for you<\/h2>

The competitive pool is widening. Sellers who were excluded for failing Amazon’s performance standards are back in the race. Some are undercutting on price. Some still have poor ratings. They’re now in the same ring as you.<\/p>

Pricing pressure is intensifying, and static pricing strategies are becoming obsolete. A seller who doesn’t take back control of their prices will either lose Buy Boxes, or sacrifice margin to keep them.<\/p>

The rollout is happening in waves through end of 2026. It has been live in Europe since July 20th.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The race to the bottom has started. Don’t let it take you down.<\/h2>

Some sellers will match prices without thinking. And sell at a loss without knowing it.<\/p>

The only way to avoid that: dynamic repricing that continuously monitors every competitor’s moves, adjusts your prices in real time, and protects your margin at every moment. That’s what WeReprice<\/a> does.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What WeReprice actually does to protect your margin on Amazon<\/h2>

Dynamic repricing isn’t an automated price war. It’s precise pricing: the right price, against the right competitors, at the right time. Here’s how WeReprice<\/a> operates in the context of Amazon’s change.<\/p>

24\/7 monitoring of every competitor<\/h3>

WeReprice<\/a> continuously tracks price movements on every listing where you’re active. Every competitor change is detected and processed in real time. At night, on weekends, on public holidays: the engine never stops.<\/p>

When a competitor goes out of stock, WeReprice<\/a> detects it and automatically raises your prices. When they come back, your prices adjust accordingly. You capture the available margin at every opportunity window, without any manual intervention.<\/p>

Floor prices that never get crossed<\/h3>

You set a minimum price for each product. WeReprice<\/a> never goes below it, regardless of competitive pressure. If a competitor drops below your floor, you don’t follow. You may lose that Buy Box. You keep your margin.<\/p>

This is the baseline protection against selling at a loss, in a context where new competitors with unpredictable pricing behaviour have just entered the race.<\/p>

Custom rules to choose your competition<\/h3>

This is one of the most useful features right now. Not every competitor deserves a price match from you.<\/p>

With WeReprice<\/a>, you can exclude competitors based on their performance metrics: a poorly rated seller with a high order defect rate or slow shipping times isn’t a legitimate competitor. You decide not to fight on their ground.<\/p>

You can also filter out abnormally low prices: those caused by listing errors or pricing behaviour that bears no relation to your real market. Your pricing strategy stays grounded in the reality of your category.<\/p>

Time-based and channel-based pricing rules<\/h3>

WeReprice<\/a> lets you adjust your rules depending on the moment. At night or on weekends, when active competition is lower, you can configure an automatic price recovery. You recapture margin during off-peak periods without having to think about it.<\/p>

You can also set different rules per marketplace. Pricing dynamics on Amazon, Cdiscount, or Fnac aren’t the same. WeReprice<\/a> handles each channel’s parameters separately.<\/p>

For refurbished sellers: grade-level granularity<\/h3>

Each condition grade has its own rules. A “Very Good” item doesn’t compete the same way as a “Good” one, and doesn’t go up against the same sellers. WeReprice<\/a> handles this natively: floor prices per condition, competition rules per grade, on every marketplace.<\/p>

Native repricing, not a bolt-on tool<\/h3>

WeReprice<\/a> is built directly into Sellermania. It’s not a third-party tool connected via white-label integration. Price recalculations run on the same data as your catalogue and stock, with no sync delay between two systems. When something doesn’t work as expected, there’s one support team and one point of accountability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
