What is Profit bandit?

Profit bandit is a real time FBA scouting app created by Seller Engine.   Unlike some of the other FBA scouting app such as Media Scouter and Scan Power which use a database.  Profit bandit uses the internet to pull up listing information so you can make educated desciscions when scouting for product to send to Amazon FBA.

Profit Bandit features review

 

Multiple users under one subscription -  This is one of the most important features for anyone who has employees that help you scout FBA products.  I have do this with my employees.  As long as they have a smartphone they can install the app, and use your login information to start scanning.

 

The $9.99 subscription -  The $9.99 subscription will pay for itself with in no time as long as you are getting out and scanning products.  This price tag is generally much cheaper than most other barcode scanning subscriptions.

 

Optional wireless barcode scanner -  For $49.00 I went ahead 

and opted for the wireless barcode scanner which I would

recommend you eventually get.  

 

I use the Wasp WWS100i scanner which is expensive, but less likely to break in the field.   I have even had it go through the washing machine and it still works like a champ.  A $150.00 well spent, and it has paid for itself thousands of times over.

 

Other barcode scanners -   There are plenty of other cheap barcode scanners out there.  The cheapest place I have found for scanners is ebay.  A few examples can be seen below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Special Search -   Special searches are a great way to make an informed descision on whether or not to purchase an item to resell.   Profit bandit allows you conduct indepth research using miltiple selling platforms which include CamelCamelCamel, Keepa, Google Products, eBay, PriceWatch, Book finder, and PaperBackSwap.

​

See all FBA offers - Having the ability to see all of the FBA offers helps you decide whether or not the product you are scouting is worth purchasing or not.  There is nothing worse then getting a product that has thousands of sellers and your FBA items sits at Amazon racking up fees.

 

Restricted item notification - This handy feature keeps you from scouting FBA products that are not allowed on Amazon.  There is nothing worse then having to return a product because you didn't know that it was not allowed on Amazon FBA.
