QUICK ANSWER
SellerBoard is the right profit tracker for UK Amazon FBA at ~£15-20/month. Cleaner daily P&L than Inventory Lab, better UK VAT handling, accurate FBA fee tracking within ~2% of Amazon's actual deductions. Three mistakes UK sellers make: (1) not setting per-SKU COGS correctly so 'profit' includes false margin, (2) not flagging VAT-inclusive vs exclusive on supplier costs, (3) ignoring the return-rate alert thresholds. Set those up properly and SellerBoard becomes the truth source for daily decisions. Verdict: 4.6/5.
What SellerBoard is
SellerBoard is a focused FBA profit tracker. It connects to Seller Central via official API, pulls every order, refund, FBA fee, referral fee, advertising spend, and storage charge, and renders a daily/monthly P&L by SKU.
It does not do listing creation (use Seller Central or H10), shipment building (use Seller Central or Inventory Lab), or repricing (use Ascent or BQool). It does one thing well: tell you whether you're making money, by SKU, by day, in real time.
Where SellerBoard wins
Daily P&L accuracy
FBA fees, referral fees, advertising spend, and refunds attributed correctly per-SKU per-day. Most other tools aggregate to monthly buckets; SellerBoard gives you the daily slice. Critical when you're trying to spot a SKU that started losing money 4 days ago.
UK VAT handling
You can flag VAT-inclusive vs exclusive on supplier COGS. SellerBoard then nets VAT correctly on profit calc and gives you VAT-payable / VAT-recoverable figures by month for your accountant. Most US-built tools (Inventory Lab in particular) handle this poorly or not at all.
Return rate analytics
Per-SKU return rate trended over weeks/months. Alert thresholds firing when a previously-stable SKU starts seeing 8%+ returns. This is genuinely critical — per the operator intel from our UK FBA intel, returns are the most ignored profitability killer.
Mobile app
Useful on the go. Check daily profit before bed. Some competitors are desktop-only.
Cost
~£15-20/month is materially cheaper than Inventory Lab's ~£40-50.
Where SellerBoard falls short
Listing creation / shipment building
Doesn't do these. Use Seller Central or Inventory Lab. Some UK operators want one tool that does it all; SellerBoard isn't that.
Multi-channel
Amazon-only. If you're selling on eBay, Etsy, Walmart UK alongside Amazon, SellerBoard only tracks Amazon.
UI is functional, not polished
The interface looks like a 2018 SaaS dashboard. Not ugly, but not winning awards. Inventory Lab and Helium 10's reporting are slicker. Doesn't matter if you're using SellerBoard once a day.
The three set-up mistakes UK sellers make
Mistake 1: COGS not set correctly
SellerBoard cannot guess what you paid. If you don't upload COGS per SKU, the "profit" figure shows revenue minus fees minus advertising — it ignores what the inventory cost. The result: every SKU looks profitable. The fix: bulk CSV upload of COGS, refreshed every time you receive new shipments at different prices.
Per FieldsOfProfit's UK FBA cost-update intel: "Amazon is ripping you off if you don't update costs often." Same applies to SellerBoard.
Mistake 2: VAT flag missed on supplier costs
If you bought £100 of inventory at Tesco (VAT-inclusive) and entered £100 as COGS without flagging VAT, SellerBoard treats the whole £100 as cost. In reality your VAT-recoverable portion is ~£16.67. Net true cost ~£83.33. Profit per unit looks lower than reality, profit decisions are skewed conservatively. Fix: flag every COGS entry as VAT-inclusive or exclusive.
Mistake 3: Return rate alerts ignored
SellerBoard surfaces SKU return-rate spikes. If you ignore them, you'll discover a 14% return rate on a SKU only after it's tanked margins for 6 weeks. Configure email/Discord alerts for any SKU exceeding 8% rolling 30-day return rate.

The verdict
SellerBoard is the right UK FBA profit tracker. Cheaper than Inventory Lab, better UK VAT handling, daily P&L granularity, and reasonable mobile app.
Set up COGS, flag VAT, configure return-rate alerts, and SellerBoard becomes the daily decision substrate for your business. Skip those steps and the data is unreliable — the most common mistake UK FBA beginners make.
