How to Access the Pricing Rule Tab
Log in to AccelerList.
Click Settings on the left sidebar.
Click the Listing tab at the top.
Click the Pricing Rule sub-tab.
What This Page Does
The Pricing Rule tab lets you set your default automated pricing formula. This means AccelerList can price your items based on a rule you choose instead of requiring you to manually calculate each price.
These pricing defaults apply when listing items unless you override them inside a batch.
Fields on the Pricing Rule Page
1. Pricing Rule Type
This is the first dropdown on the page.
Example shown:
Price
This field tells AccelerList what kind of pricing method to use.
For most users, this will stay set to Price, meaning the system will calculate the listing price based on the rule and value you choose below.
2. Price Value
This is the number field below the first dropdown.
Example shown:
5
This field is the amount that will be used in your pricing rule.
What this means depends on the comparison rule and whether you choose:
$ for a fixed dollar amount
% for a percentage amount
Example:
If you enter 5 and choose $, that means 5 dollars
If you enter 5 and choose %, that means 5 percent
3. Dollar or Percent Selector
This is the small selector on the right side of the value field.
Options:
$
%
This tells AccelerList whether the value you entered should be treated as:
a fixed dollar amount
or a percentage
Example:
$5 Higher Than Buy Box
5% Higher Than Buy Box
4. Pricing Comparison Rule
This is the second dropdown on the page.
Example shown:
Higher Than Buy Box
This field tells AccelerList what reference point to use when pricing your listing.
Available options shown in the screenshot include:
Higher Than Buy Box
Prices your item above the current Buy Box price by the amount or percentage you entered.
Example:
If Buy Box is $20
Rule is $5 Higher Than Buy Box
Your price becomes $25
Lower Than Buy Box
Prices your item below the Buy Box price by the amount or percentage entered.
Example:
If Buy Box is $20
Rule is $5 Lower Than Buy Box
Your price becomes $15
ROI
ROI means Return on Investment.
This pricing rule bases your price on your desired return compared to your buy cost.
Example:
If your buy cost is $5
You want a certain ROI percentage
AccelerList will calculate a selling price based on that target return
This is useful for sellers who want to price based on profitability rather than market price.
Profit Margin
This rule prices the item based on the profit margin you want to make.
This is useful if you want your pricing to meet a target profit level after costs and fees.
Higher than Lowest FBA Offer
This prices your listing above the lowest FBA offer currently on Amazon.
This may be useful if you do not want to compete directly with the lowest FBA seller.
Lower than Lowest FBA Offer
This prices your listing below the lowest FBA offer.
This can help you stay more competitive with FBA listings.
There may be other options in your account depending on your setup, but these are the ones visible in the screenshot.
5. Price When Data is Unavailable
This is the field at the bottom of the page.
This tells AccelerList what price to use if the pricing data needed for your rule is not available.
Example:
If Buy Box data cannot be found
Or if there is no lowest FBA offer available
AccelerList will use the fallback price entered here
This is important because it prevents pricing errors or blank prices when market data is missing.
Example of How This Works
Using the example shown in the screenshot:
Pricing Rule Type: Price
Value: 5
Unit: $
Comparison Rule: Higher Than Buy Box
This means AccelerList will price your item at:
Buy Box Price + $5
If the Buy Box is $18, your listing price would become $23.
How to Set Your Pricing Rule
Go to Settings > Listing > Pricing Rule.
In the first dropdown, leave or select Price.
Enter your pricing amount in the number field.
Choose whether that value should be $ or %.
Select the comparison rule you want to use, such as:
Higher Than Buy Box
Lower Than Buy Box
ROI
Profit Margin
Higher than Lowest FBA Offer
Lower than Lowest FBA Offer
Enter a fallback value in Price When Data is Unavailable.
Click Save new defaults.
Important Note
These are your default pricing settings for future listings. If you change pricing inside a specific batch, that change will only affect that batch and will not update the default pricing rule here.
