UNDER THE HOOD

What happens behind the scenes

01

Behind the scan

We crawl your public listings, normalize MPNs and titles, and build a category map of your inventory. No API keys, no OAuth — just a public URL. Most stores finish in under 60 seconds.

02

Behind the matching

For every listing we identify 3–5 real competitors using MPN exact-match, fuzzy title matching, and category clustering. Each rival is scored by threat level: price gap, sell-through, and stock signals.

03

Behind the alerts

We re-scan your competitors multiple times per day. When a price moves, stock changes, or a new listing appears in your category — you get an email with the context you need to act.

USE CASES

Three scenarios you'll recognize

Catch a price war early

WITHOUT RIVALYST

A top-3 competitor drops $40 on your best seller at 11pm. By morning you've lost 8 sales.

WITH RIVALYST

Smart Alert hits your inbox at 11:04pm with stock signals — they're clearing inventory, not pricing forever. Hold your price.

Spot a stockout window

WITHOUT RIVALYST

Two competitors quietly run out of a $200 item. You don't notice for 4 days and miss the buy box.

WITH RIVALYST

Stockout alert + restock ETA fires within hours. Raise your price by $15, sell faster, recover margin.

Avoid a copy-cat

WITHOUT RIVALYST

A new seller lists 12 of your exact MPNs at -$5. You react manually a week later.

WITH RIVALYST

New listing alert flags them on day one. We score their threat level and recommend whether to ignore or undercut.

SCOPE

What Rivalyst is — and isn't

What we do

  • Public eBay listings (US, UK, DE, AU, CA)
  • Price changes, stockouts, restocks, new listings
  • MPN + title-based competitor matching
  • Daily monitoring with up to 1 year history
  • Email alerts and weekly recap digest

What we don't

  • Amazon, Shopify, Etsy (eBay-only by design)
  • Auction-only listings (we focus on Buy It Now)
  • Account access or auto-repricing
  • Listing creation or order management
  • Anything that violates eBay's seller policies

QUESTIONS

Common setup questions

Do I need to install anything?+

No. Rivalyst is browser-based. No extensions, no apps, no integrations. You log into the dashboard from any device.

How accurate is competitor matching?+

MPN-matched competitors are ~99% accurate. Title-matched competitors are reviewed by you in the dashboard — you can dismiss any that aren't real rivals.

Will eBay penalize me for using Rivalyst?+

No. We only access public listing data — the same data anyone can see by browsing eBay. We never touch your account.

How often do you re-scan competitors?+

Multiple times per day for active competitors. Price-sensitive categories (electronics, fashion) get scanned more frequently than slower-moving categories.

What if my store has 5,000+ listings?+

We handle large catalogs without issue. The initial scan takes 2–4 minutes for 5k+ listings; daily monitoring runs in the background.
