Buy Box, ASIN, FNSKU, ACoS, VAT margin scheme: selling on Amazon comes with a lot of jargon. This glossary explains the 135 most important terms around Amazon arbitrage and reselling in plain English, sorted by topic. Almost every term links to the matching guide, and legal and tax terms also link to the official source. Use the table of contents to jump straight to a term. This glossary is not legal or tax advice.
Basics: Amazon, listings and metrics
Seller Central
The back office for third-party sellers on Amazon. This is where you create offers, manage stock, track orders, fees and payouts and request approvals. Step by step in How to use Amazon Seller Central.
Selling plan
Amazon UK offers the Individual plan at 75p per item sold and the Professional plan at £25 a month excl. VAT. For arbitrage and wholesale you need Professional, because only then can you win the Buy Box and use most tools. All costs in Amazon FBA costs 2026.
FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon)
You send your stock to an Amazon fulfilment centre, and Amazon handles storage, shipping, customer service and returns. FBA offers automatically carry the Prime badge. More in How to sell on Amazon without inventory.
FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant)
You store and ship orders yourself. It suits bulky or slow-moving items, but usually lowers your chances of winning the Buy Box against FBA offers. FBA or FBM? See Is selling on Amazon FBA still worth it?
Buy Box
The offer customers buy when they click Add to Basket. When several sellers share a listing, Amazon decides who gets it based on price, fulfilment method, delivery speed and seller performance, so it does not automatically go to the cheapest seller. How to win it: How to win the Amazon Buy Box.
Listing
The product page with title, images, description and bullet points. On Amazon there is one listing per product, and all sellers add their offers to it. How to create offers: Amazon Seller Central guide.
ASIN
The Amazon Standard Identification Number is a ten-character code of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies every product on Amazon. For books it usually matches the ISBN-10. You find it in the URL and the product details. More in What is an Amazon ASIN?
EAN and GTIN
GTIN is the umbrella term for international product numbers. The 13-digit EAN is the version used in the UK and Europe and appears as the barcode on the packaging. Scanner apps use it to match a product in store to the right ASIN. How EAN, FNSKU and Amazon labels fit together: Amazon barcodes explained.
BSR (Best Sellers Rank)
Shows how well a product sells compared to others in its category. The lower the number, the more sales. It changes constantly, so always look at the history rather than a snapshot, for example in Keepa: How to use Keepa for product research.
Prime
Amazon's membership with fast, free delivery. Offers with the Prime badge sell better and win the Buy Box more often, and FBA offers are Prime-eligible automatically. More in Amazon Prime: the pros and cons.
Account Health
The dashboard in Seller Central that shows whether you meet Amazon's standards on late shipments, cancellations, complaints and policy violations. Poor account health can lead to suspension. Typical mistakes in 5 Amazon arbitrage beginner mistakes.
SKU
The stock keeping unit is your own reference number for an offer. You set it yourself, and a clear SKU structure helps arbitrage sellers track buy price, supplier and purchase date. More in the Seller Central guide.
FNSKU
The Fulfilment Network SKU is Amazon's label for FBA stock. It links every unit in the warehouse to your seller account so your stock is not mixed with other sellers' units. More in Amazon barcodes explained.
Vendor Central
The portal for suppliers who sell directly to Amazon, usually by invitation. Amazon buys the stock and resells it. As an arbitrage or wholesale seller you use Seller Central instead, see the Seller Central guide.
A-to-z Guarantee
Amazon's buyer protection for orders from third-party sellers. If an item does not arrive or is not as described, customers can file a claim, and many claims hurt your account health. Buyer protection on Amazon and eBay compared: eBay vs Amazon.
Seller feedback
The rating customers give you as a seller, separate from product reviews. Good seller feedback improves your Buy Box chances, see How to win the Amazon Buy Box.
Amazon's Choice
A badge Amazon automatically gives to well-rated, well-priced products with fast delivery for certain search terms. It applies to the listing, not to an individual seller.
Variations (parent and child)
Many products come in variations such as size or colour. The parent listing groups them, and each variation has its own child ASIN with its own price and sales rank. Always check the sales of the exact variation. More in What is an Amazon ASIN?
Bundles and multipacks
A bundle combines several products in one offer, a multipack contains several units of the same product. Quantity and contents must match the listing exactly, or you risk complaints. More in Wholesale on Amazon.
Condition
Amazon distinguishes New, several Used grades and Collectible, among others. In arbitrage you almost always sell new items in unopened original packaging. More in Amazon retail arbitrage.
Amazon as a seller
When Amazon itself sells on a listing, the Buy Box is often hard to win for third-party sellers. Many sellers avoid these products or check in the price history how often Amazon goes out of stock. How: Keepa guide.
Number of sellers
How many sellers currently offer a product. More sellers mean more competition for the Buy Box, but also show the product is easy to source. Scanner apps show it instantly, see best Amazon scanner apps.
Monthly sales
Many product pages show how often an item was bought in the past month. Together with sales rank and number of sellers, this helps you estimate how many units you can sell. The ProfitGo browser extension shows the estimate right on the page.
Price history
How the selling price has moved over weeks and months. It shows whether today's price is normal or just a short spike, and it is one of the most important checks before every purchase. More in the Keepa guide.
Seller verification
Before you can sell, Amazon verifies your identity and business, for example with ID, a bank statement and a video call. The process in the Seller Central guide.
Business models
Arbitrage
Buying branded products where they are cheap and reselling them on Amazon for more. Your profit is the price difference minus all fees. All models compared: Amazon arbitrage vs private label.
Online arbitrage
Arbitrage with stock bought from online shops. It scales well with software, and we recommend around €10,000 starting capital, or the equivalent in pounds. Everything in the Amazon online arbitrage guide. Why starting online pays off: Start with online deals.
Retail arbitrage
Arbitrage with stock bought in store, for example at Argos, Boots or Currys. The best way to start, from around €5,000. More in Amazon retail arbitrage.
A2A (Amazon to Amazon)
Arbitrage between Amazon marketplaces: you buy on one Amazon marketplace and sell on another for more, for example buy in Germany, sell in the UK. More in the A2A guide.
Wholesale
Buying larger quantities directly from wholesalers, distributors or manufacturers. More predictable than arbitrage and with clean invoices, but with minimum order values. More in Wholesale on Amazon and Find your first wholesale supplier.
Private label
A manufacturer makes a product that you sell under your own brand. You control design, packaging and price, but carry high capital and advertising risk. We do not recommend it for beginners. Why: Amazon arbitrage vs private label.
White label
A standard product a manufacturer offers to many sellers, each selling it under their own brand. Faster than private label, but interchangeable, because competitors have the same product. The difference explained in arbitrage vs private label.
Dropshipping
A supplier ships the product directly to your customer after the sale. Only allowed on Amazon under strict rules: you must be the seller of record, and having another online retailer ship to your customer is prohibited. Why we recommend FBA instead: How to sell on Amazon without inventory.
Flipping
Informal term for buying and quickly reselling for profit. On Amazon it usually means arbitrage. More in Amazon arbitrage vs private label.
Sourcing
Finding profitable products and the right suppliers. Good sourcing is the biggest success factor in arbitrage. Practical tips in The most important sourcing tips.
KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing)
Amazon's self-publishing platform. You publish e-books and paperbacks, Amazon prints on demand and pays you royalties, with no inventory. Everything in the Amazon KDP guide.
Alibaba and AliExpress
Two platforms of the Alibaba Group. Alibaba connects you with manufacturers for large quantities and is the typical source for private label, AliExpress sells smaller quantities to consumers. Neither matters much for arbitrage with branded goods. Compared in Alibaba vs AliExpress.
Reselling
Selling finished branded goods for a profit, the umbrella term for arbitrage and wholesale. Unlike private label, you sell other companies' brands. All models compared: arbitrage vs private label.
Lead (deal)
A specific product that is cheap enough in a shop to resell on Amazon for a profit. You find leads yourself with software or buy them as lists. Tools compared in Best online arbitrage tools.
Sourcing groups
Paid communities that send the same leads to many members at once. The risk: many people buy the same deal and the Amazon price crashes. Your own Price Alerts with fixed rules avoid that.
Brand direct
Buying directly from the brand owner instead of through wholesalers. It brings the best prices and clean invoices, but usually requires an established business. How to approach suppliers: Find your first wholesale supplier.
Amazon Renewed
Amazon's programme for refurbished products with its own quality requirements. Sellers need approval, see the ungating guide.
Amazon Warehouse
Amazon's offers for used and returned items, often heavily discounted. Of limited use for arbitrage, because you usually cannot resell them as new. Track prices with Keepa price alerts.
Niche
A clearly defined product segment with its own audience, such as spare parts or collectibles. Niches often have less competition but also less demand, and some sell better on eBay, see eBay vs Amazon.
Seasonality
Demand swings over the year, for example toys before Christmas or garden products in spring. Price history and sales rank over twelve months show it clearly, see the Keepa guide.
Clearance
Discounted end-of-line stock in shops, a classic source of arbitrage deals, especially in store. More in Amazon retail arbitrage.
Cashback
Part of the purchase price you get back through cashback sites such as TopCashback or Quidco, or through credit cards. In online arbitrage, cashback can noticeably lift your margin. More in the online arbitrage guide.
Discount codes and vouchers
Discounts that shops give via codes or newsletters. They often turn a tight deal into a profitable one. More in Start with online deals.
Stacking
Combining several discounts, such as a sale price, a voucher and cashback. Many of the best online arbitrage deals come from stacking. More in the online arbitrage guide.
Numbers and calculations
Margin
The share of the selling price left as profit after all costs. Formula: margin = profit divided by selling price times 100. Example: selling price £30 excl. VAT, buy price £18 excl. VAT, Amazon fees £7.50. Profit £4.50, margin 15%. Arbitrage sellers in our community typically work with 10 to 15%. Run your own numbers with the Amazon FBA calculator.
ROI (return on investment)
Profit relative to the money invested. Formula: ROI = profit divided by buy price times 100. In the example above, £4.50 profit on £18 spent is a 25% ROI. ROI shows how hard your money works, margin shows how much of revenue is left. ProfitGo calculates both automatically.
Referral fee
The commission Amazon keeps on every sale, usually 7 to 15% of the selling price depending on category. All fees in Amazon FBA costs 2026.
FBA fee
The per-unit fulfilment fee for FBA, based on size and weight. According to Amazon, many low-priced products qualify for reduced low-price FBA rates. Details in Amazon FBA costs 2026.
Storage fees
Monthly fees for the space your stock takes up in Amazon's warehouse. They depend on volume and are higher in Q4. How to keep them low: Sell on Amazon without inventory.
Aged inventory surcharge
An extra charge for stock that sits in Amazon's warehouse for a long time, formerly called long-term storage fee. One more reason to only buy what sells within a few weeks. Strategies in Sell on Amazon without inventory.
Break-even
The selling price at which all costs are covered and you make neither profit nor loss. If the current Buy Box price is below your break-even, do not buy. Calculate it with the Amazon FBA calculator.
Cash flow
The flow of money through your business. In arbitrage, cash is usually free again within a few weeks, in private label it is often tied up for months. More in arbitrage vs private label.
COGS (cost of goods sold)
The cost of the goods you sold: buy price plus extras such as shipping to the prep centre. The basis of every profit calculation. More in the Amazon FBA calculator.
MAP (minimum advertised price)
A minimum price a manufacturer sets for advertising, common mainly in the US. In the UK and EU, fixing resale prices is generally prohibited under competition law, but manufacturers may issue recommended retail prices.
Landed cost
The real cost per unit until it reaches Amazon: buy price plus shipping, prep and labelling. It is the honest basis for margin and ROI, see the Amazon FBA calculator.
Excluding and including VAT
Prices including VAT contain the tax, prices excluding VAT do not. If you are VAT-registered, always calculate with prices excluding VAT, or you will overestimate your profit. More in the Amazon FBA calculator.
Sell-through rate
How quickly your stock sells, often measured as the share of units sold per month. A high sell-through rate keeps storage fees low and your capital moving. More in The most important sourcing tips.
Inventory turnover
How many times a year your capital runs through buying and selling. Fast-moving stock with a moderate margin often earns more over a year than slow stock with a high margin. More in Is Amazon FBA still worth it?
Tied-up capital
Money sitting in stock that has not sold yet. The longer stock sits, the longer your capital is tied up, the biggest difference between arbitrage and private label, see arbitrage vs private label.
Price war
When sellers on a listing keep undercutting each other until hardly any margin is left. Typical for products many sellers found at the same time. More in 5 Amazon arbitrage beginner mistakes.
Ungating, law and compliance
Ungating
Amazon's approval to sell a restricted brand or category. You usually need invoices from manufacturers or authorised distributors from the last 180 days. Everything in the Amazon ungating guide.
Restricted brands and categories
Brands and categories you can only sell after approval. Many of the most profitable arbitrage brands are among them, see the best brands for online arbitrage.
Exhaustion of rights
The legal basis for arbitrage. Once a brand owner has put genuine goods on the market with their consent, they can be resold. In the UK this covers goods first sold in the UK or EEA, in the EU only goods first sold in the EEA. More in the ungating guide. EU legal basis: Regulation (EU) 2017/1001.
Grey market goods
Genuine goods first sold outside the relevant region and imported without the brand owner's consent. Exhaustion does not apply, so reselling them can infringe trade mark rights. What to watch when buying: ungating guide.
IP complaint
A complaint from a rights holder about alleged trade mark, copyright or patent infringement. Several IP complaints put your account at risk, which is why experienced sellers avoid brands known for them. See also 5 Amazon arbitrage beginner mistakes.
Brand Registry
Amazon's programme for brand owners. It gives control over the listing, A+ Content and protection against abuse, and requires a registered or, depending on the office, pending trade mark. Trade mark costs in arbitrage vs private label.
Hazmat (dangerous goods)
Products classed as dangerous goods, such as items with batteries, aerosols or perfume. For FBA they often need a review with a safety data sheet before you can send them in. A practical example with perfume: Qogita review.
GPSR
The EU General Product Safety Regulation, in force since December 2024. It covers labelling and a responsible person in the EU, applies when you sell into the EU and Northern Ireland, and mainly affects brand owners and importers. More in arbitrage vs private label. Official text: Regulation (EU) 2023/988.
Registering your business
If you regularly buy to resell for profit, you are trading and must register with HMRC, for example as a sole trader or as a limited company. What Amazon asks for at sign-up: Seller Central guide.
Transparency
An Amazon programme where brands put a unique code on every unit. Products in the programme can only be sold with valid codes, so they are usually off-limits for arbitrage. More on restricted brands in the ungating guide.
WEEE
Rules for waste electrical and electronic equipment. Anyone selling electrical goods must make sure the producer obligations are met. Details in the WEEE numbers guide. Official UK guidance: GOV.UK on electrical waste.
Invoice requirements
For ungating and complaints Amazon asks for invoices, usually from manufacturers or authorised distributors from the last 180 days. Name and address must match your Seller Central account, and till receipts are usually not enough. Details in the ungating guide.
Authorised distributor
A wholesaler officially supplied by a brand. Their invoices are the key to many approvals. An example of a sourcing platform with such invoices: Qogita review.
LOA (letter of authorisation)
A letter from a brand or distributor authorising you to sell its products. It can help with approvals and complaints, see the ungating guide.
Selective distribution
Under certain conditions, brands may prohibit their authorised retailers from selling on online marketplaces. The EU Court of Justice confirmed this for luxury goods in the Coty case in 2017. It explains why some brands are especially strict on Amazon. Judgment: CJEU, case C-230/16.
Authenticity complaint
A claim from customers or brands that a product is not genuine. You then have to prove with invoices that it is original, or you risk suspension. Which invoices count: ungating guide.
Account suspension and plan of action
For violations, Amazon can suspend your account or individual listings. In a plan of action you explain the root cause, the fix and prevention to get reinstated. Typical triggers in 5 Amazon arbitrage beginner mistakes.
ODR (order defect rate)
Measures negative feedback, A-to-z claims and chargebacks relative to your orders. Amazon expects it to stay below 1%, and it also affects the Buy Box, see How to win the Amazon Buy Box.
Packaging EPR
Extended producer responsibility makes businesses report and pay for the packaging they place on the market, with separate rules for electrical goods and batteries. Whether you are affected depends on your size and role. Official UK guidance: EPR for packaging on GOV.UK. If you sell into the EU, Amazon may ask for EPR numbers there too.
UKCA and CE marking
Marks with which the manufacturer confirms a product meets UK or EU requirements, for example for electronics or toys. Important mainly when importing and for private label, see Alibaba vs AliExpress.
Product liability
Liability for damage caused by defective products. It mainly falls on manufacturers and importers, which is why private label and direct imports are legally riskier than reselling branded goods. More in arbitrage vs private label.
Expiry-dated products
Products with a best-before or expiry date, such as food or cosmetics. Amazon requires a minimum remaining shelf life on arrival, so check the date before you buy. How prep centres handle it: Amazon FBA prep centres.
Tax and accounting
VAT number
Your VAT registration number. Many wholesalers only supply VAT-registered businesses, and storing stock in EU countries requires VAT registrations there. More in Amazon Pan-EU vs EFN.
Reclaiming input VAT
As a VAT-registered seller you can reclaim the VAT on your purchases, as long as you have a proper VAT invoice. Without one you quickly lose 20% of your margin, see the VAT trap in eBay vs Amazon.
VAT margin scheme
A special scheme for second-hand goods: VAT is only charged on the difference between buying and selling price, and the invoice shows no VAT. For you as a buyer that means you cannot reclaim input VAT. Official guidance: VAT margin schemes on GOV.UK. Why this matters when buying on eBay: eBay vs Amazon.
OSS (One Stop Shop)
An EU scheme for declaring VAT on distance sales to consumers in other EU countries in one place. Relevant once your cross-border sales to EU consumers exceed €10,000 a year. More in Amazon Pan-EU vs EFN. Official information: European Commission OSS portal.
VAT registration threshold
In the UK you must register for VAT once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in a rolling twelve months. Registering voluntarily earlier can make sense for arbitrage, because it lets you reclaim input VAT. Official rules: VAT registration on GOV.UK. Run the numbers in the Amazon FBA calculator.
Reverse charge
For certain services from abroad, the customer rather than the supplier accounts for the VAT. That is why some fees from foreign service providers arrive without VAT and you declare it yourself. More on cross-border selling in the A2A guide.
Import VAT and customs
Since Brexit, goods bought in the EU and brought into the UK are imports: customs declarations and import VAT apply, and duty can apply depending on the origin of the goods. Factor these costs into every cross-border deal, see the A2A guide.
Bookkeeping
Arbitrage creates a lot of paperwork: purchase invoices, Amazon settlements and fees. Clean, ideally automated bookkeeping saves time and trouble with HMRC. How: Amazon bookkeeping made easy.
Accountant
At the latest when you use Pan-EU, OSS or several marketplaces, an accountant with e-commerce experience pays off. Which obligations arise: Amazon Pan-EU vs EFN.
Logistics and shipping
Fulfilment centre
An Amazon warehouse where your FBA stock is stored, packed and shipped. Amazon assigns the destination when you create a shipment. How FBA works: Sell on Amazon without inventory.
Prep centre
A service provider that receives, checks, labels and packs your deliveries and sends them to Amazon, usually for a fee per unit. That way you never have to handle the stock yourself. Services and costs in Amazon FBA prep centres.
Pan-EU
Pan-European FBA spreads your stock across warehouses in several EU countries so customers there get fast delivery. It requires VAT registrations in the storage countries. Compared with EFN in Amazon Pan-EU vs EFN.
EFN (European Fulfilment Network)
Your stock sits in one EU country, and Amazon ships from there to other EU marketplaces for a cross-border fee. Since Brexit it no longer covers shipments between the UK and the EU. Costs and rules in Amazon Pan-EU vs EFN.
Remote Fulfilment
A programme that lets you sell from your FBA stock into other countries, for example between the UK and the EU, without storing stock there. Which markets are worth it: Amazon's fastest-growing EU regions.
Multi-Channel Fulfilment (MCF)
Amazon ships orders from other channels such as eBay or your own shop directly from your FBA stock. Everything in Amazon MCF explained.
Returns
With FBA, Amazon processes customer returns, checks the item and either restocks it or marks it unsellable. Returns that are no longer as new often sell on eBay, see eBay vs Amazon.
Q4
The fourth quarter with Black Friday and Christmas, the strongest sales period of the year. Storage fees and check-in times rise at the same time, so experienced sellers plan early. Our free Q4 Ungating Playbook shows the 50 brands worth unlocking.
IPI (Inventory Performance Index)
A Seller Central score for how efficiently you manage FBA stock, for example excess stock and sell-through. A good score helps your storage capacity. Tips in Sell on Amazon without inventory.
Capacity limits
Amazon sets how much stock you can send to FBA each month. Keep an eye on your limits in the Capacity Manager, especially before Q4. How to plan: Sell on Amazon without inventory.
Seller Fulfilled Prime
You ship orders yourself but get the Prime badge if you meet Amazon's strict delivery and reliability standards. More on Prime in Amazon Prime: the pros and cons.
3PL
Third-party logistics: an external provider that handles storage and shipping for you. A prep centre is a specialised type of 3PL. More in Amazon FBA prep centres.
Shipment plan (Send to Amazon)
The Seller Central workflow for creating an FBA shipment: choose items and quantities, pack boxes, print labels and book the delivery. Step by step in the online arbitrage guide.
Prep requirements
Amazon's rules for preparing FBA stock, such as labelling, bags with warning labels or protective packaging for fragile items. Mistakes lead to extra fees or rejected units. More in Amazon FBA prep centres.
Receiving (check-in)
When the fulfilment centre accepts and records your shipment. Only then is the stock sellable, so check that all units were received correctly. Correct labels help, see Amazon barcodes explained.
Excess inventory
More stock than you can sell in the foreseeable future. It drives up storage fees and reduces your capacity. Countermeasures in Sell on Amazon without inventory.
Removal and disposal orders
A removal order gets stock back from the FBA warehouse, a disposal order has it disposed of. Both cost fees, but are often cheaper than long-term storage. All fees in Amazon FBA costs 2026.
FBA reimbursements
If Amazon loses or damages stock in its warehouse, you are entitled to a reimbursement under Amazon's policies. Check reimbursements regularly, because claims have deadlines. Related messages land in your inbox, see Amazon Message Center.
Liquidation
Selling excess stock to liquidators instead of removing or disposing of it. You only recover a fraction of the value, but save further storage fees. How to avoid getting there: Sell on Amazon without inventory.
Advertising and marketing
Sponsored Products (PPC)
Amazon's pay-per-click ads for individual products in search results and on product pages. Essential for private label, usually unnecessary for arbitrage because the listing already has traffic. Why ad costs make private label risky: arbitrage vs private label.
ACoS and RoAS
Two advertising metrics. ACoS = ad spend divided by ad sales times 100. RoAS = ad sales divided by ad spend. An ACoS of 20% equals a RoAS of 5. Ad costs by business model: arbitrage vs private label.
A+ Content
Enhanced product descriptions with images, comparison charts and a brand story, only available to brand owners in Brand Registry. More in arbitrage vs private label.
Backend search terms
Hidden keywords in a listing that customers do not see but Amazon search uses. The character count is limited, so avoid repetition and competitor brand names. Mainly relevant for private label, see arbitrage vs private label.
Lightning Deals
Time-limited promotions on Amazon's deals page, for a fee. They bring a lot of short-term visibility, but only pay off with enough margin.
Amazon Vine
A programme where selected reviewers receive new products for free and review them, only for brand owners in Brand Registry. Details in Amazon Vine for FBA sellers.
