What do these mean?
  • Green = buy. Yellow = don't buy yet, check first. Red = skip it.
  • ROI = what you earn back on the money you spent.
  • Margin = how much of the selling price you keep.
  • Break-even = the lowest price you can sell it for without losing money.
  • Shipping and warehouse costs use estimates until you type your own in All details.

1Scan the product

Take a photo of the barcode, or type the product name, UPC or ASIN. It fills in the details for you.

Tip: tap Scan barcode again to add a photo of the front label for a better match.

Where should I sell this?

Which fees each one uses

Tap one to see its costs. "Pay up to" = the most you can pay at the store.

Can I send it to WFS?

Pick an item only if it's one WFS never accepts.

The hazmat box above and this list are different. Hazmat items (sprays, cleaners, batteries) can go to WFS with a $0.50 fee and a review. Items on this list can't go to WFS at all, whether they're hazmat (bleach, butane) or not (books, tires, plants, things that need a fridge).

Amazon sales history (Keepa)

On Walmart now: price, sellers, can I sell it?

Price history: Walmart, Amazon, eBay

Is now a good time to buy?

What Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 mean for sellers

2Prices

Use a prep center? Add its fee once in My settings and it's taken out of the profit.

Only selling on Amazon or eBay? Leave Walmart empty and type just that price.

This is the price you'll list it at, the price the customer pays. To pick it, look up the item on that site and use the price most shoppers see (the lowest price from a seller with good ratings). Leave Amazon or eBay empty to use the Walmart price.

Find it cheaper

Too expensive here? See which stores sell … online.

Prices I found

Is it a multipack? (like a 6-pack)

Only if one "Price for one" buys a pack of several. Then "Price for one" is the price of one pack.

Keep the same item. Don't tap New item: the scan already filled the size and weight. Just type the cheaper price here and tap Use this price.

Shipping is what the store charges for the whole order, to you or your prep center. The app splits it across all the items. Example: 10 items at $1.78 + $8.00 shipping = $17.80 + $8.00 = $25.80 ÷ 10 = $2.58 each. That $2.58 is what one item really costs you.

Selling on Amazon? These stores work for Walmart, Amazon and eBay. But some Amazon brands and categories need an invoice from a wholesaler or distributor to get approved, and store receipts usually aren't accepted for that. Check the Amazon Seller app first.

3Category

Each marketplace has its own categories and its own fees. Picking the Walmart category fills in the closest Amazon and eBay ones. Change them if they don't fit.

4Size & weight

Measure the package. Biggest side is Length. The weight changes the shipping, so weigh it if you can: the scan only guesses.

Set up the ruler (do this once)

Hold a credit card or ID against the screen with its short side along the yellow bar. Move the slider until the bar is exactly as long as the card. Your phone remembers it.

How do I know if it's hazmat?

Check it if any of these is true:

  • Spray can with gas inside (hairspray, spray paint, canned air, cleaner sprays). Label often says "Contents under pressure".
  • Chemical: a liquid, gel, paste or powder you don't eat (cleaners, detergent, nail polish, paint, glue).
  • Kills germs or bugs: disinfectants, wipes, bug spray, insect repellent. Look for "EPA Reg. No." on the label.
  • Has a battery, or batteries are inside the box (toys, power banks, electronics).
  • Label says "Drug Facts" or "Supplement Facts".
  • Label warning words: Flammable, Danger, Warning, Caution, Corrosive.

Hazmat items can still be sold, but Walmart adds $0.50 per item for WFS and reviews the listing first (up to 3 business days). Amazon may also ask for a safety data sheet (SDS) before you can send it.

The math

Show every fee and cost

Walmart: referral fees from Walmart's schedule (updated March 2026; some categories were lowered in June 2026, so confirm in Seller Center), WFS fees effective April 2025. Amazon: referral fees from sell.amazon.com, 2026 FBA rate card with the 3.5% fuel surcharge, peak fees (Oct 15 to Jan 14) added as an average, inbound placement is a rough estimate, and hazmat items cost more and aren't included. eBay: no-store final value fees on the item price plus about 7% buyer sales tax, plus the per-order fee. All results are estimates.

Buying more than one

How many fit in a box, how many boxes you need, and what the whole shipment costs.

What changes the cost to send to the warehouse?
  • How big and heavy the item is. Heavier or bigger items cost more to send.
  • How many you're sending. More items usually means less per item.
  • The box you pick. A box that's too big for a few items costs more, because carriers charge for the box's size even if it's half empty.

The category doesn't change it. This is what the carrier charges to bring your boxes to the warehouse.

What sells when

Products people buy most at each time of year. Tap one to search for it in the stores below.

These are the usual patterns in US stores. A single product can be different, so check its Keepa history or ask the assistant.

Shop online from home

Look for products to resell without going to the store. Open a sale page, and when something looks good, type its name in Step 1 and tap Look it up.

Pick a category. Each button searches that store for "clearance", or for a word you type (like rollback, sale, a brand, or a product).

Is it in stock at my store? How many?
  • In the Walmart, Target, Home Depot or Lowe's app, pick your nearby store. The product page shows if it's in stock there. Home Depot and Lowe's often show how many.
  • Stock online can be wrong, so call the store before a long drive.
  • Buying online: add shipping, and check the sales tax. Many sites ship free over a set amount, so buying more at once can lower the cost.

My items

Your scans, with what you paid. Tap one to open it.

Other costs

You can leave every box here empty. Empty boxes use an estimate, so the profit already includes them. Type a number only when you know your real cost: it replaces the estimate and changes the profit right away. Each box only counts for the marketplaces named in it.

When can I find my real costs?
  • Shipping to the customer: before you buy, even in the store. Open Pirate Ship (USPS, UPS) or fedex.com on your phone, type the box size, weight and a ZIP code far from you, and you'll see the price.
  • Sending to the warehouse: after you buy. When you create the shipment in Walmart Seller Center (WFS) or Amazon Seller Central (FBA), it shows the shipping price for the whole box before you pay. Divide it by how many items are in the box.
  • Months until it sells: a guess. Items that sell every day: 1 month. Slow sellers: 2 to 3 months. Look at how many sellers there are and the sales rank.

Tip: buy one first, find the real costs, type them here, then buy more if it's still green.

One box for all three, because you pay the same carrier (USPS, UPS or FedEx) no matter where the order came from. eBay doesn't store or ship items for you, so eBay is always "I ship".

Other costs to keep in mind

These are real costs of selling, but they aren't in the profit above because they depend on how you run your business, not on one item. Keep a little extra profit to cover them, especially when you start out.

CostWhen you pay it
Amazon selling planOnly if you sell on Amazon. Professional plan is $39.99 every month no matter how much you sell. Individual plan has no monthly charge but costs $0.99 for each item you sell. Walmart has no monthly fee. eBay has none unless you choose to open an eBay Store.monthly or per sale
Boxes, tape, bubble wrapWhat you use to pack orders or your warehouse boxes. Usually $0.25 to $1 per item, more for glass, frames or big items. Buying supplies in bulk lowers this.each item
Prep and labelsFor WFS and FBA, each item may need a barcode sticker, a plastic bag, or bubble wrap before it goes to the warehouse. Labels cost a few cents each. If you pay the warehouse or a prep center to do it, it's usually $0.20 to $1 per item.each item

Help & AI assistant

Ask anything about this product, the fees, or how to use the app. The assistant sees the numbers on your screen.

Quick answers
  • The profit changed for the same product? Check the size and weight. Scans estimate them, so measure once and the app reuses your numbers.
  • It says "Not finished"? Fill in both prices, the size and the weight.
  • Walmart won't let me send it to WFS? Look in Seller Center → Catalog → Activity Feed (error report) and Pending Review for the reason.
  • Problem with your Walmart account or a shipment? Open a case in Seller Center → Help → Contact Seller Support.

The assistant can make mistakes. Double-check important numbers in Seller Center.

My settings

Prep center

Count it for:

Use the fee for one item: prep, labels, bags, and their shipping to the warehouse if it's included. Leave empty if you prep it yourself.

Brands I can't sell

When a scan finds one of these brands, it warns you in red.

Sales tax is your state plus your county or city. Florida is 6% plus a local surtax (Miami-Dade is 7% total). Search "sales tax rate" and your ZIP code if you're not sure. These settings stay on this phone.
