When should I bring in repricing/PPC automation tools instead of doing it manually?
Below roughly 20-30 SKUs across one or two marketplaces, manual bid and price management is genuinely fine and cheaper than a tool subscription. Once you're managing dozens of SKUs, multiple marketplaces, or you're regularly losing the Buy Box to price-matching competitors, a repricer like RepricerExpress or a PPC automation layer like Perpetua starts paying for itself in time saved and Buy Box win-rate recovered. Set clear pricing floors before you automate anything, a repricer that isn't margin-aware will happily race you to zero profit.
