If your prices are wrong, you’re leaving easy money and easy sales on the table.


Auto-pricing in KNET is built so you can:

  • Sell faster

  • Protect your margin

  • Stop changing prices all day


Here’s the best way to use it step-by-step.

Auto-pricing in KNET is built so you can:

  • Stop changing prices all day


Here’s the best way to use it step-by-step.

Step 1: Bulk Price Change → Liquidate → Grab the First Sale


When you first cross-list a sneaker, KNET will match the lowest ask on each channel.


That’s a good start, but matching still puts you in second place if someone decides to undercut.


Instead:

  1. Go to your inventory in KNET.

  2. Use Bulk Price Change on the SKU(s) you want to move.

  3. Choose Liquidate to automatically undercut the lowest ask.


This matters most on high-velocity SKUs where buyers just click the cheapest option and check out.

Step 2: Turn On Auto-Pricing → Undercut + Minimum Payout


Once your starting prices are set, you don’t want to babysit them.


Turn on Auto-Pricing with these settings:


  1. Mode: Undercut, not match

    • Matching means you’re tied with other sellers.

    • Undercutting means you’re first in line for the next buyer.


  2. Minimum Payout Price Mode: On

    • Set your minimum payout per size.

    • This is the number you refuse to go below after all fees.

    • KNET will undercut down to that level, then stop.


This combo does the heavy lifting:

  • Auto-pricer keeps you competitive on every platform.

  • Minimum payout keeps you from selling too low.


You get speed and protection at the same time.

Step 3: Cross-List to All Channels → Maximize Reach


Once auto-pricing is set, you want as many buyers seeing your pairs as possible.


With KNET, you can list the same sneaker across:

  • StockX

  • GOAT

  • eBay

  • KICKS CREW

  • POIZON

  • TikTok Shop

  • KNET

  • KNET B2B

  • Surge

  • (and more as channels are added)


You should always:

  • Cross-list to every available channel.

  • Let Minimum Payout guard you from bad sales.

  • If a channel feels “weak” on price, you can raise the list price there and still lean on your minimum payout as the safety net.


In Q4 especially:

  • Stockouts happen

  • Prices spike randomly

  • Some channels pay more than others week to week


If you’re already live everywhere, you can catch those jumps at your target payout while other sellers aren’t even listed.

3. Manual OA = Extreme Couponing for Sneakers


Online arbitrage (OA) done right is basically extreme couponing:

  • New account offers

  • Email sign-up discounts

  • Stacked promo codes

  • Free shipping thresholds

  • Cashback portals (Rakuten, TopCashback, card issuer portals, etc.)

  • Card rewards (2–5%+)


On a lot of bricks, that stack is your margin.


Example:

  • Retail: $120

  • Sale: 20% off → $96

  • Code: extra 10% → $86.40

  • Cashback: 6% → effective $81.22

  • Card rewards: 2% → effective ~$79.60


If your net payout after KNET fees on the right channel stack is $88–$90, you’re making $8–$10 per pair on something that looked dead at retail.


Bricks rarely look sexy on the surface.


Your edge is in the stacking.

  • StockX

  • Some channels pay more than others week to week

Step 4: Monitor Weekly → Refresh and Reclaim Margin


Auto-pricing mostly moves one way: down.


It reacts to:

  • New undercuts

  • Changing asks

  • Short-term price drops


What it doesn’t do by itself is:

  • Raise your price back up when the market recovers

  • Improve placement once your listing has been sitting for a while


So you need a simple weekly routine:


  1. Check your key SKUs

    • Look at:

      • Current list prices

      • Minimum payouts

      • Recent sales


  2. Find gaps

    • If market prices have risen, but your listing is still low:

      • Raise your price

      • Or reset the listing


  3. Refresh placements

    • You can deactivate and re–cross-list a SKU to:

      • Get fresh placement on some platforms

      • Reset any “stale” listing positions

      • Nudge prices back up closer to where buyers are now


This weekly check doesn’t need to be complicated.

You’re just making sure you’re not stuck too low after a wave of undercuts.

When to Be Aggressive


Right now (especially going into holidays), this is the move:

  • Source heavy on SKUs you trust

  • Cross-list everything across all channels

  • Use:

    • Bulk Price Change to grab first sales

    • Auto-pricing + Minimum Payout to stay competitive

    • Weekly reviews to push prices back up when you can


The sellers who win aren’t the ones with the “perfect” price once.


They’re the ones who:

  • Show up on every major marketplace

  • Stay first in line for buyers

  • Protect their floor so they never panic-sell


Set your system up once, keep an eye on it once a week, and let speed + visibility do the rest.
