Your Repricing Configuration generates a Repricing Script for Soloist to use when Auto-repricing your inventory. It is advisable that while reading this page you have the Repricing Configuration open to aid in following the sections. The script generated will be based on parameters you enable by checking the corresponding box next to any of the options in the following sections:
Pre-exclusions
- Are you repricing only your Books? Only CD's? Perhaps you only want your FBA items repriced? Make your selection in the drop-down menus and check the corresponding box to tell Soloist what inventory to look at.
Exclusions
- Tell Soloist any particulars to leave off the list of items it's allowed to Reprice by excluding items based on a variety of parameters including:
- Pattern match: Select a field to use for a Keyword Match from a drop-down menu, then enter the text to use for the Keyword Match in the box below the drop-down menu.
- Set up advanced rules for your Pattern Matching
- Prices: Select both above and/or below a set price range.
- Condition: New, Used, or Collectible. Condition Classes are not used in this section.

- Drop your price by a set amount based on a specific position in the list of comparisons.
- Average your price based on the number of comparisons and their position.
