Geography

United Kingdom — Amazon.co.uk + eBay.co.uk + supporting marketplaces

Data Coverage

SKU pricing, Buy Box ownership, FBA stock, seller-level data, MAP compliance

Actowiz Solutions delivered cross-marketplace pricing intelligence for a UK consumer electronics brand — tracking Amazon.co.uk and eBay.co.uk SKU pricing, Buy Box ownership, third-party sellers, and MAP compliance across 2,400+ SKUs.

Client Overview

The client is a UK-headquartered consumer electronics brand with strong presence on Amazon UK, eBay UK, Argos, and Currys. With Amazon UK and eBay UK collectively accounting for ~40% of UK online sales, real-time marketplace intelligence was business-critical.

Unauthorised third-party sellers and counterfeit listings — particularly on eBay UK — were the brand's biggest channel-management concern.

Business Challenges

Amazon UK Buy Box Dynamics

Buy Box ownership shifted hourly across 2,400+ ASINs; manual monitoring was infeasible.

eBay UK Unauthorised Sellers

Counterfeit and grey-market listings on eBay UK damaged brand trust and authorised dealer relationships.

FBA UK Stock Signals

OOS events triggered Buy Box loss; early warning required continuous PDP monitoring.

Cross-Platform MAP Enforcement

Below-MAP listings appeared on both Amazon and eBay, with seller IDs needed for retailer escalation.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

Monitor Buy Box ownership across 2,400 Amazon UK ASINs
Detect unauthorised sellers and counterfeit listings on eBay UK within 2 hours
Capture FBA UK stock signals and Prime eligibility
Track MAP violations with seller ID evidence
Deliver structured data into the client's repricer and alerting stack

Actowiz Solutions Approach

UK-Specific Crawl Infrastructure

Built dedicated crawlers for Amazon.co.uk and eBay.co.uk using residential UK proxies and UK-specific session management.

Buy Box & Seller Extraction

Parsed Buy Box winner, all FBA + FBM offer-listing sellers, prices, and shipping ETAs from each ASIN's offer page every 30 minutes.

eBay UK Listing Engine

Continuous monitoring of eBay UK listings against the brand's authorised seller allow-list; unknown sellers triggered hijacker alerts within 2 hours.

MAP Enforcement Pipeline

Real-time price-vs-MAP comparison across both platforms; violations captured with screenshot evidence, seller ID, and timestamp.

Real-Time Delivery

REST API + webhook delivery into the client's Slack, BI dashboard, and automated repricer.
