Short description

CoG (Cost of Goods) is the purchase price ArbitrageOne uses to calculate your profit. By default the system uses the values from your recorded purchases. For SKUs without a purchase entry — e.g. from old stock or Sellerboard imports — you can store the CoG here manually.

Page layout

Notice at the top

By default, calculation uses the purchase prices for which a purchase has been recorded in A1. If no purchase exists for an SKU, the values stored here are used as the purchase price.

  • Add — manual entry per SKU
  • Batch Upload — upload CSV with SKU → price
  • Sellerboard Import — tutorial link for migration

Step-by-step: Set a single CoG

Step 1: Find the SKU

Use the DataTable search field at the top left to find the SKU.

Step 2: Add

Click Add (or the edit button in the row) and enter SKU, ASIN, purchase price (net) and prep fee (net). Via + Add row you can enter multiple SKUs in one go.

Step 3: Save

Saving applies the value immediately to all future profit calculations.

Step-by-step: Batch upload

Step 1: Prepare CSV

Create a CSV with the columns seller_sku;cost. The decimal separator is a dot (e.g. 12.50).

Step 2: Upload the file

Click Batch Upload and choose your file. You’ll see a preview before the values are applied.

Step 3: Apply

Confirm — existing entries are overwritten, new ones are created.

Important notes

  • Values from Record Purchase take priority over manually stored CoGs. Recorded purchases don’t overwrite the manual value, they are used directly.
  • CoG is stored in the currency of your home marketplace.
  • Sellerboard migration: export the SKU/CoG list there as CSV and use the batch upload.

Common issues

Issue: “My CoG is ignored in ProfitTracker.” Solution: A recorded purchase probably exists for the SKU — it takes priority. Check your purchases or delete the wrong entry there. Issue: “Batch upload throws an error.” Solution: Often the wrong separator or a comma as the decimal separator. Check the format with a text editor.
