Online arbitrage is not about getting lucky once. The sellers who win long-term are the ones who build a repeatable sourcing system, stay consistent, and focus on deals that keep working over time.
That’s exactly why we’ve shipped a feature many of you have been asking for:
Profitability by period: Current, 30d, and 90d
In the Online Arbitrage module, you can now choose profitability periods:
- Current
- 30d
- 90d
This makes it much easier to answer two important questions:
- Is this product profitable right now?
- Has it been profitable consistently, not just today?
How period selection works
You can select one period or multiple periods:
- If you select one period, we show products that are profitable in that period.
Example: choose 30d to find products that have been profitable across the last 30 days. - If you select multiple periods (for example, Current + 30d + 90d), we return products that are profitable in all selected periods.
This is one of the simplest ways to filter for consistency and reduce time wasted on “one-day wonders.”
Why this matters for online arbitrage sellers
Most sourcing mistakes happen when sellers only look at a single moment in time.
A product might look profitable today, but:
- The price may be temporarily high,
- Amazon may just be out of stock,
- Competition may be unusually low,
- Fees or buy box might shift back quickly.
Being able to check profitability across Current / 30d / 90d helps you identify deals that are more likely to hold up in real sourcing.
Updated results UI (earlier improvement)
Alongside this feature, we also refreshed the results UI to make fast decisions easier.
In the results view you can quickly see:
- Profit and ROI
- BSR / sales rank metrics
- Price and sales rank charts
- A clear indicator showing whether the product is profitable in each selected period
This reduces the time it takes to scan results and shortlist winners.
What we show in the new video
To make it easy to start using this workflow, we recorded a short walkthrough video showing:
- Opening the Online Arbitrage module
- Selecting retailers (example: Walmart and Target) and a category (example: Toys & Games)
- Applying saved filter presets (ROI, profit, sales rank/BSR, exclusions)
- Selecting Current / 30d / 90d periods
- Understanding how “profitable in all selected periods” works
- Checking eligibility directly from results (single or bulk)
- Using Favorites and Blacklist to keep your feed clean
- Opening the product on Amazon and validating the final decision using the Arbitrage Hero Chrome extension

A simple sourcing routine to use this feature
If you want consistency, keep it simple:
- Pick 1–2 retailers and 1–2 categories
- Use one saved preset
- Select Current + 30d + 90d to surface consistent deals
- Shortlist, verify eligibility, and validate on Amazon with the extension
- Repeat daily, even for 20 minutes
Online arbitrage is persistence plus a system — and this update makes the system faster.
