The Psychology of Pricing: How to Set the Perfect Price for Your Amazon FBA Products
Imagine you're at a local market, looking at two mobile charger. One costs ₹499, and the other is ₹999. You might be tempted by the cheaper option, but then you wonder if the more expensive one is better. This is how pricing psychology works—it affects how we decide what to buy.
When selling on Amazon FBA, it’s important to understand how Indian customers think when they see prices. Let’s explore how you can set the right price and increase your sales.
The Magic of ₹99
Ever notice that many products are priced at ₹499, ₹999, or ₹1,999? That’s because ₹499 feels cheaper than ₹500, even though the difference is only ₹1.
For example, Priya, an Amazon seller, couldn’t sell her kitchen gadgets at ₹600. She changed the price to ₹599, and her sales went up. Just one rupee can make a big difference.
Anchoring: Comparing Prices
When people see different prices, they usually go for the middle option. If you sell a product for ₹799 and offer a premium version at ₹1,599, most customers will choose the ₹799 option because it feels like a safe choice.
Rahul, who sold phone accessories, did this. After introducing a higher-priced version, his mid-range product sold more. By showing a more expensive option, you make the mid-priced product look like the best deal.
Higher Price = Better Quality?
Sometimes, a higher price can make your product seem better. If your product is high quality, don’t hesitate to price it higher. Indian customers often think that a higher price means better quality—especially for things like electronics or skincare.
Aman, who sold organic hair oil, had this experience. When he priced his oil at ₹199, it didn’t sell well. But when he raised the price to ₹399, his sales doubled. Customers believed that the higher price meant better ingredients.
Conclusion
Setting the right price for your Amazon FBA products is not just about numbers. It’s about understanding how your customers think. By using simple tricks like the ₹99 effect, offering different price options, or creating urgency, you can influence their buying decisions.

$87,000 Opportunity by a Simple Kitchen item: Found hidden gem on Amazon
Today, I’m going to let you in on a little secret that could transform the way you think about eCommerce.
If you’re an Amazon seller or thinking about starting, finding the right product can be challenging. But what if I told you there’s a way to find profitable products with low competition that you can easily rank for? Let me share a story of how I found an incredible product using Jungle Scout and how you can do the same to start your own e-commerce journey.
Exploring Jungle Scout’s Keyword Scout Tool
I began my search by using Jungle Scout’s Keyword Scout tool, which is perfect for spotting product opportunities. I was focused on finding a kitchen board for this experiment, specifically looking for a product with both high demand and low competition.
Analyzing Amazon’s Search Volume
Heading over to Amazon.com, I typed in “kitchen board” and began reviewing the search volume. Unfortunately, the results were underwhelming. The search volume wasn’t impressive, and the competition was steep. Ranking a kitchen board at this stage would be a tough battle.
Narrowing the Search: Chopping Boards and Vegetable Cutters. I shifted my focus slightly. I expanded my search to include related products like chopping boards and vegetable cutters, but the outcome wasn’t much better. Both categories had high competition and weren’t easy to break into.
Striking Gold: Wooden Chopping Boards for Kitchens Just when I was about to move on, I stumbled upon a hidden gem – Wooden Chopping Boards for Kitchen. The search volume was strong, and most importantly, it was much easier to rank for this product compared to others in the kitchen niche.
Using Jungle Scout for Validation I used Jungle Scout to validate this product, and the data was fantastic! The tool showed high demand combined with low competition, a perfect mix for anyone looking to get into the Amazon marketplace. The best part? The average seller for this product was making around $87,000 per month in revenue. This was a game-changer.
Time to Act Finding a product like this one is the first step toward a successful Amazon business. If you discover a product with these metrics every day, your chances of success multiply. Imagine the possibilities – and now it’s your turn to do the same! Start exploring, and who knows? You might be just one step away from finding your golden opportunity.
