Set a payout floor for each pair before repricing

Use the pair’s purchase record, any costs you include in your pricing policy, and the minimum return you will accept. Keep this calculation tied to one size and one physical unit.

First, record the pair’s cost basis. Use the amount you paid and apply your own consistent method for any other costs. Then add your required return. The result is the minimum net payout you will accept for that pair.

Minimum payout = recorded cost basis + required return.

For example, if your recorded cost basis is 100 and your required return is 20 in the same currency, your minimum payout is 120. This is an example calculation, not a claim about marketplace fees or likely profit.

Keep the floor as a payout amount, not a listing price. A listing price and the amount paid to you can differ after marketplace deductions. Don’t use one marketplace’s listing price as another marketplace’s payout.

For the exact style code and size, compare the payout estimate on each marketplace where you may list the pair. Check that the condition, selling route, currency, and any displayed deductions match your intended listing.

Use the same unit and currency for every comparison. If a marketplace shows a price rather than a net payout, don’t treat it as take-home money. Check the platform’s current fee details yourself, then calculate the expected payout using your own records.

A price comparator can help compare marketplace payouts by size, but you still need to confirm the selected route and inputs. A market signal is a reference point, not a reason to lower your floor.

If the expected payout is below your floor, raise the listing price if the marketplace allows it, choose another eligible route, or leave the pair unlisted. If the expected payout is above the floor, record the floor and the pricing route you checked.

Use this workflow for each pair before enabling unattended repricing:

1. Input: Open the owned unit’s record. Check its style code, size, condition, ownership, and recorded cost basis against the physical pair and purchase record. Correct any mismatch before pricing.
2. Calculate: Add your required return to the recorded cost basis. Save the result as the minimum payout for that unit, using the currency in which you track its cost.
3. Compare: Check the exact size and intended selling route on each eligible marketplace. Verify the displayed price or payout, currency, condition, and any deductions you can confirm.
4. Decide: If a route cannot meet the floor, don’t set a lower floor just to chase its market price. Choose another route or keep the pair off that listing.
5. Test: Set the repricing floor for the relevant listing, then review the displayed rule and current price manually. Confirm the floor matches your unit record before leaving the rule unattended.

Bricker Mode can reprice eligible listings within configured payout limits. Automation can apply the rule; it cannot decide whether your cost basis or required return is correct. Check those inputs yourself first.

Review a repricing change against the pair’s saved floor and the marketplace route. If the payout estimate falls below the floor, pause or adjust the rule rather than approving a lower minimum.

Several linked listings may represent the same owned unit. Their count is not the number of pairs you own or the number committed to sales. Reconcile confirmed, unfulfilled sales against owned units, then verify sibling-listing cleanup after a sale.

A completed payout, invoice, shipment, or proof of delivery does not make a sold pair available again. Restore availability only after a confirmed cancellation or a return you have physically received and checked.

Keep a manual review for changed costs, changed route assumptions, and exceptions the automation cannot resolve. At your next stock review, check that each active floor still matches the unit’s recorded cost and your current return requirement.
