Electronics and electricals

Electronics on marketplaces, competitive on price and right on the rules.

Electronics shoppers compare specifications and prices in seconds, and the rules on safety, security and take-back keep growing. We keep your listings accurate and compliant and your offers competitive, so you're not losing sales to the seller next to you.

Book a 20-minute demoWhat we do
The problem

In electronics, small details decide who gets the sale.

We keep your listings complete and compliant, review pricing and competing offers and watch your account health, so you stay in contention on every product.

Same product, many sellers

Identical items attract several sellers on one listing. A slightly better price or delivery promise takes the sale.

More rules every year

Electrical safety, smart device security and take-back duties all apply, and marketplaces expect you to meet them.

Specs that cause returns

Vague compatibility or missing specifications lead to wrong purchases, returns and poor reviews.

Where to sell

The channels that suit you. And why.

Amazon

The main battleground for electronics. On shared listings, the Featured Offer goes to the most attractive offer on price, delivery and order experience.

Marketplace guide →

eBay

Strong for tech, accessories and parts, where accurate model numbers and compatibility details help buyers find the right item.

Marketplace guide →

Argos

A familiar destination for electricals. Its selective marketplace opened in 2026 with sellers including Trojan Electronics.

Marketplace guide →

Tesco

Tesco Marketplace launched in June 2024 and lists electronics among its main third-party ranges.

Marketplace guide →

TikTok Shop

Gadgets demonstrate well on video, and selected Electronics categories have a reduced 5% commission at the time of writing.

Watch out for

What makes this category different.

Electrical safety and marking

The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 cover most equipment running between 50 and 1,000 volts AC. Products need UKCA or CE marking (both accepted in Great Britain indefinitely), the manufacturer's name, postal address and a type, batch or serial number, and instructions in English.

Smart device security rules

Since 29 April 2024, consumer connectable products sold in the UK must have unique or user-set passwords, tell customers how to report security issues and publish a minimum security update period. Distributors must not sell them without a statement of compliance.

Take-back for electricals and batteries

If you sell electrical equipment, including online, you must offer free like-for-like take-back of old items or join the Distributor Take Back Scheme, and publish the details on your website. Selling 32kg or more of portable batteries a year brings a battery take-back duty too.

Competing on shared listings

When several sellers offer the same product, Amazon picks one Featured Offer (often called the Buy Box), weighing item and delivery price, delivery speed and the order experience you provide. Since 20 July 2026, offers from all sellers are eligible to be considered, so there's more competition for it.

How we help

What we do for you.

Complete, accurate listings

Model numbers, specifications, compatibility and safety information set out clearly, so buyers choose the right product first time.

Listing optimisation →

Pricing and Featured Offer reviews

We review your prices, delivery promises and competing offers and recommend changes for your approval, so you stay in contention without giving away margin.

Pricing and Buy Box →

Protection from unauthorised sellers

We watch your listings for unauthorised or lookalike sellers and use marketplace brand tools to act on them.

Brand protection →

Market and competitor insight

We track price moves, new launches and gaps in your range, so you can decide what to stock and how to price it.

Competitor insights →
FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Is CE marking still accepted, or do we need UKCA?
Both are accepted. The government has extended recognition of CE marking in Great Britain indefinitely, so you can use either CE or UKCA. You still need the right technical documentation and declaration of conformity, kept for 10 years.
Do products with lithium batteries need extra paperwork on Amazon?
Often, yes. Amazon treats many everyday products, including laptops and phones, as possible dangerous goods, and to send them to its warehouses you must provide a safety data sheet, battery test summary and exemption sheet where relevant. We help you gather the right documents before stock is shipped.
Do we have to take back old electricals?
Yes, if you sell electrical and electronic equipment. You can run your own free like-for-like take-back service or join the Distributor Take Back Scheme, and you must explain the option on your website. Since 2025, online marketplaces also count as producers for electricals they supply to UK households from non-UK sellers.
Why do we keep losing the Buy Box?
Usually it's price, delivery or order experience, the things Amazon weighs when it picks the Featured Offer. We look at all three and at who else is selling on your listings. In a free 20-minute demo we look at your products and the channels you sell on today, and show what we'd do next.
What does it cost for an electronics business?
Price-sensitive ranges need regular attention: pricing and Buy Box reviews, competitor insights and, for larger ranges, weekly optimisation and ongoing price monitoring. Costs depend on the channels you want to sell on, how many products you have and how much help you need. We give you a clear quote after a free 20-minute demo.
