If you’re doing this by hand, you’re likely copy-pasting URLs, opening tabs, manually recording prices, and hoping nothing breaks. That’s where automation steps in. The Manual Way (And Why It Breaks) Manually tracking product prices across a marketplace like Amazon is a task best suited for machines....
