The repricing engine now takes product condition into account when evaluating competitors. A listing for a "Used - Very Good" product will no longer be compared against sellers offering brand-new items, unless you explicitly choose to allow it.
Why condition matters
On Amazon, the same product page can have offers in different conditions: New, Renewed, Used - Like New, Used - Very Good, Used - Good, and Used - Acceptable. A new item and a used item are not really competing for the same buyer. Repricing against a used offer when you are selling new (or vice versa) leads to unnecessarily low prices or missed sales.
Two filtering modes
Each repricing strategy now has a "Competitor Filter" setting with two options. "Same condition" means the engine only considers competitors whose item condition matches yours. If you are selling New, only other New offers are factored in. "Any condition" means all offers on the product page are considered, regardless of condition. This is the more aggressive option and can be useful if you want to beat every seller on the page.
Where to configure it
The condition filter is part of the strategy editor. When you create or edit a repricing strategy, you will find "Competitor Filter" in the pricing configuration section. The default is "Same condition," which is the safest option for most sellers. You can change it per strategy, so some strategies can be strict about condition while others are more aggressive.
How it affects pricing decisions
When the engine runs a repricing cycle, it fetches all the competing offers for each listing and then filters them by condition (if "Same condition" is selected). The target price is calculated only from the remaining offers. Pricing Activity shows which offers were considered and which were filtered out, so you can verify the engine is working as expected.
