Profit Hunter: search suppliers, filter products, and send links to Flow Lister
Learn how to turn search terms into a filtered list of supplier products and send them to Flow Lister in one click.
On this page
Profit Hunter is DropFlowLister's product research tool. You give it product titles or keywords, and it searches a supplier, filters the results by price, reviews, rating, and more, and collects the best matches. You can then send the links to Flow Lister. Some older buttons call it "Product Hunter".
Key points
- Suppliers: Amazon, AliExpress, or Walmart. You can also add AliExpress and Walmart results to an Amazon search.
- Fast filters: Price, reviews, rating, delivery days, Amazon's Choice, Best Sellers, and more.
- Protection built in: VeRO brand and keyword filters, restricted words, and duplicate protection.
- One page per term: Profit Hunter reads the first page of supplier results for each term. This keeps supplier blocks low.
- One-click transfer: Transfer → eBay Flow Lister sends your results straight to Flow Lister.

Search settings

How to review your results
The Results table shows the image, title, price, reviews, rating, sold count, and product ID for each product.
To narrow results:
- Click Filter.
- Set Min $, Max $, Min Rev, Max Rev, or Min Sold.
- Click Apply.
Click Sort to change the order. Use the page buttons and the per page menu (25, 50, 100, or 200) to move through results.
How to send results to Flow Lister
To send them:
- Click Transfer → eBay Flow Lister.
- Wait for "Collected products successfully pushed to eBay Flow Lister. N new links added."
- Open Flow Lister, apply your store, and click Start.
To copy links instead, click Export Links, then Copy All.
Tip: Clear or transfer old results before a new search. If results are already waiting, Profit Hunter asks you to Continue (keep them and add new ones) or Cancel (stay and transfer them first).
Tips and limits
- Use specific terms. "stainless steel garlic press" finds better matches than "kitchen".
- Keep threads low on Amazon. Supplier blocks come from the supplier, not from DropFlowLister.
- Profit Hunter doesn't use listing credits. Only listings use credits, so Profit Hunter searches are never charged.
