Amazon scratchpad8/3/2023 This is a curious case, because in the BuyBox a used product is listed, which is even significantly more expensive than the cheapest new product! When comparing all offers, it is remarkable that the BuyBox winner product is the cheapest product available per Amazon Prime. The price of 229.00 €, which is the main price on the product page, is delivered by the API as the lowest new price. This time it is also delivered as the cheapest price in the used price summary (at the bottom of the screenshot). The main price for a new product is set at 229,00 €.Īt the same time, the Amazon Scratchpad displayed the price in its product box at 198,00 €.Īgain, the used price seems to be the main price used by the API.

Here are a few examples: Example 1 Product Page To show that this is not a problem of the ASA2 logic, I analyzed the situation with Amazon’s own scratchpad and found that it shows inconsistent and misleading prices compared to the product page. Sometimes the best price for used products is delivered or the cheapest price that can be found in the list of all new prices. For this there is a main data record in the API result in the “Offers” section, which so far has reflected this buy-box price (for the experts: at least if the value “IsBuyBoxWinner” was true).Īt the moment, however, for some products this entry for the main price no longer matches the one on the product page. Usually this is the best price for a new product. The most interesting one is the price that is listed in the “buy box” on the product page. The API provides different types of prices.
