Decoding the Electronics Amazon Sales Rank Code

September 28, 2017 By Stephen Smotherman 28 Comments

Most resellers rely on Sales Rank when making purchasing decisions. For reasons known only to Amazon, the category of Electronics often does not provide a category wide sales rank. Many times when scanning an Electronics product, a scouting app (like Scoutify) will return a sales rank of 0 or N/A (Not Applicable). In almost all
