Live profit calculator
Referral fee, fulfilment fee, storage, prep, inbound freight and your unit cost, resolved into net per unit, ROI and margin. Change the buy price and every number moves with it.
Know what a unit is worth before you reach the register.
Sourcing is a series of yes-or-no decisions made in eight seconds, standing in an aisle, with a queue behind you. MobyScan answers the only question that matters in that moment — what is actually left after Amazon takes its cut — and answers it with your real costs, your fee schedule and your own buying rules.

Every seller who has taken a loss on a pallet knows the feeling: the numbers looked fine until the fees showed up. MobyScan moves that discovery forward to the aisle.
No tabs, no switching apps, no mental arithmetic while somebody waits for the shelf behind you.
Referral fee, fulfilment fee, storage, prep, inbound freight and your unit cost, resolved into net per unit, ROI and margin. Change the buy price and every number moves with it.
Every deduction is a named line with its size tier and weight band, not a single lump labelled “fees”. When a unit is unexpectedly thin, you can see exactly which line did it.
Sales rank and price over weeks and months, with the drops that indicate real sales marked. A single rank number tells you almost nothing; the shape of the line tells you nearly everything.
Brand gating, hazmat, meltable, adult and condition restrictions checked against your own selling privileges — because a restriction that applies to another seller is irrelevant to you.
A local catalogue lives on the device, so lookups stay fast in warehouse dead zones and thrift-store basements. Scans queue quietly and sync the moment you have signal again.
Set minimum ROI, minimum net, maximum rank and maximum sellers on the listing. The screen turns green or red on its own, so a tired brain at hour six makes the same decision it made at hour one.
The whole point is that this fits inside the pause between picking a unit up and putting it back down.
Phone camera, Bluetooth ring scanner or laser wedge — whatever you already carry. Type an ASIN, UPC or ISBN if the barcode is scuffed.
Any deviceNet, ROI, rank and restrictions land together. The colour tells you the answer before you have finished reading the numbers.
Green or redClearance sticker, coupon, quantity break: change the buy price and the whole calculation follows in real time.
Live recalculationApproved units join a buy list with cost, source and quantity attached — ready for MobyLister when you get back.
Buy list → MobyListerMost scanning apps show you a profit figure and ask you to trust it. MobyScan shows the arithmetic line by line, because the line you disagree with is the one worth arguing about — and because a fee you can see is a fee you can plan around.
Everything downstream inherits the cost, source and date captured at the moment you scanned it.
The buy list becomes a listing batch — no re-typing ASINs, no lost notes.
Your real landed cost becomes the floor price, so repricing can never go under it.
Approved quantities flow into the inbound shipment plan.
Cost basis follows the unit into your books, so profit per SKU is real.
A bad buy costs you twice: once at the till, and again in storage nine months later.
MobyScan exists to make the second cost impossible — by making the first decision honest.
Most sellers start here, because sourcing is the decision that sets everything else in motion.
MobyScan on its own, for a single seller account — choose Standard or PRO. PRO grade includes unlimited devices, the offline catalogue and all rule settings.

Once you are scanning hundreds of units a trip, a Bluetooth ring scanner is faster and easier on the wrist; MobyScan pairs with most ring and laser models, and you can switch between camera and scanner without changing anything in your settings.
Yes. MobyScan keeps a local product database on the device, so lookups stay fast in basements, back rooms and warehouse dead zones. Scans and decisions queue on the phone and sync as soon as you are back on a signal, so nothing is lost if you finish a trip offline.
The referral and fulfilment fees come from the fee schedule that applies to your account and the product’s category and size tier, not from a generic average. The two inputs that are genuinely yours — prep cost and inbound freight per unit — you set once, and we would rather you set them slightly high than slightly low.
It checks your own selling privileges, which is the part that matters: brand gating, hazmat, meltable and condition restrictions differ from seller to seller. If your account can list it, MobyScan says so; if approval is required, you see that in the aisle rather than at check-in.
Yes. ISBN lookups, condition grades and media-specific rank data are supported, and MobyScan is happy to be used purely as a book scanner. Condition notes set here carry through to MobyLister when you list.
No. Scanning is unmetered on every plan — the monthly limits in the plans apply to turnover, stock items and automated actions, not to lookups. Scanning a thousand units and buying four of them is a perfectly normal day.
Yes, subject to the seat count on your plan. Each buyer signs in with their own login, and the buy list shows who scanned what, which matters the moment you start sending people to different stores.
It joins a buy list carrying its cost, source, date and quantity. MobyLister turns that list into listings, MobyShelf builds the inbound shipment and MobyPoint keeps the cost basis for your books — all from the record created when you scanned it.
Every tool here reads and writes to the same catalogue, so turning another one on adds a capability rather than another login. Open any of them to see what it does.
