2 Let Me Paint a Picture

OK. You live in Europe, and you want to buy something off Amazon. Of course, you want the best price.

If you are a frequent Amazon user living in Europe, chances are, you have already known the fact that among the European countries, Amazon has not only 1, but many different stores. At the time of Dec 2020, there are:

And the number probably will still increase.

If you are a frequent Amazon user living in Europe, chances are, you have also already figured out that most of the items are sold in all the markets above; they can be shipped within EU; but the prices differ, sometimes greatly.

So let me describe normally as a non-millionaire what you would do:

  1. Open amazon.de (maybe uk, es, fr, it, se, nl; depending on where you live)
  2. Search the product you want
  3. Copy the name of the product
  4. Open 6 other new tabs, for other amazon markets
  5. Paste the name you copied in step 3, to the 6 tabs you just opened and click search
  6. Switching back and forth between all the tabs for the lowest price

You probably see where I’m going with this, and yes, you are right: it is annoying to do the same thing 7 times every time you want to search something on Amazon, which probably you won’t even buy in the end, and even if you do, it may be something only cost something ninety-nine so the effort really isn’t worth it.

Well, now you are saved. Install this plugin, just a single click, and you get the best price. No fuss, no muss.

3 Known Issue

For CD/books/DVD categories, some products have multiple format, like a movie can have multiple formats like DVD, blue-ray, etc; for some products can’t parse price correctly.

4 Disclaimer

I worked at AWS professionally from Dec 1st 2020 to mid-June 2021.

Everything I said in that period about this plugin and this repo is only my personal idea, and does not represents Amazon/AWS’s opinion, and the develolpment done in that period about this plugin is completely done in my spare time outside office hours.

7 Changelog

Version 2.0 Updates

Version 1.9 Updates

Version 1.8 Updates

Since recently (c.a. Feb 2022), Amazon has changed some of its page style.

It seems not all pages are affected; although most pages are adjusted into the new style, there are indeed older style existing at the same time.

Thanks Maurice and kunder-terapi05 for reporting the bug.

Version 1.7 Updates

  1. AWS recently changed the page layout, so parsing the price must be adjusted accordingly.

  2. Currency exchange API doesn’t work any more, so now a fixed exchange rate is used. This is not ideal, but at least on the bright side, it’s slightly faster than before.

The current exchange rate being used is:

Version 1.6 Updates

Price list logic changed:
