Online arbitrage works amazingly well helping Amazon sellers find profitable inventory. For beginners, the learning process can seem overwhelming and tedious.
To help make this sourcing method go faster and easier, there are free and paid online arbitrage tools readily available.
Before we get to the list of tools, here is a quick overview of the complete Amazon FBA online arbitrage money making opportunity.
What Is Amazon Online Arbitrage?
Amazon online arbitrage is buying a product at a low price from one online store and selling it for a higher price on Amazon.com.
Amazon is the largest online retailer in the world with a high traffic of customers. Buying an item from an online retail store such as Walmart and selling it for a higher price on Amazon can result in major profits.
That’s more money in your pocket to help you pay bills, take a vacation, or even reinvest back into another product flip. Many people start out doing this as a hobby and scale up from there.
A lucrative online business is born once you have enough inventory selling regularly. This could even help you quit your day job. Can you imagine shopping online in your pajamas for a living?
Why Use Online Arbitrage Sourcing Tools?
- Save time finding profitable products. The right tools will help you uncover hidden gems.
- Find product deals first. Seize the opportunity to buy the best deals first before your competitors.
- Make buying decisions better and faster. Stay profitable by running all calculations first before you buy. This alone can help you save thousands of dollars in unsold inventory.
As mentioned earlier, the biggest problem with online arbitrage is just getting started in the fastest and easiest way possible.
Luckily for you, I’ve put together a huge list of my favorite online arbitrage tools that will help you save valuable time building up your inventory if you sell on Amazon.
Before you buy anything: this is a brand new and crazy industry. And software that I find reputable and trustworthy one day can ‘disappear’ the following year. So do your homework, take advantage of free trials if they’re available, test, and ask your peers for their recommendations before you spend your hard-earned money.
Are you ready to level up your ecommerce business? Are you ready to gain a competitive edge? Are you ready to finally show your friends and family this can be done from anywhere easily? Let’s get to the list!

Keepa – This Chrome extension shows you the price history of any Amazon product for free. If you want sales rank history, you’ll have to pay a monthly fee (still worth it, in my opinion.)

The Camelizer & CamelCamelCamel – These free tools are much like Keepa, but they do not show rank history. You can also use this CamelCamelCamel site to track price drops and find some pretty good deals on popular products.
