What does the crossed out price mean?
Below the image of every item, there are 2-prices, one in green colour which is the current item’s price. The other price in grey colour that’s crossed out, is the item’s old price or original price. In other words, when you see an item with two different prices, it means that the item is on sale. The sale price or reduced price will be in green colour while the crossed out price in grey colour is the item’s original price.
What does the Price Margin mean?
In every item details page, below the image of the item, the Price Margin indicates the difference between an item’s sale price or reduced price or increased price and the item’s original price. In other words, for example wen you see the price $3 in green colour, and $4 original price in grey colour crossed out. The Price Margin will be $1. The larger the price margin of any item, the better the sale of that item. The lower the price margin, the sale price of that item is poor. When you see any item with a higher Price Margin, that is an item with a good sale.
