📚 Frequently Asked Questions by Category
Find answers to common questions about each of our 9 problem-focused categories — from Retail Trading to Creator Tools.
📊 Retail Trader Toolkit
What tools does the Retail Trader Toolkit include?
Our largest category with 22 extensions covering stock and forex trading — daily loss-limit enforcement, execution-quality grading against the NBBO, FXCM-specific margin and swap calculators, wash sale tracking, and tools for day trading, swing trading, and scalping specifically.
How does the Daily Loss-Limit Lockout work?
Set a daily dollar or percentage loss limit once, in a calm moment, and the extension physically blocks your trading platforms the instant your logged losses hit it. Hard-lock mode has no override until your next scheduled session reset — it's a discipline tool, not a suggestion you can click past.
Can I check if my broker actually gave me a fair trade price?
Yes — the Personal Execution Quality Scorecard (NBBO) applies the same methodology brokers use in their own aggregate execution-quality disclosures, but to your individual fills. Enter your fill and the market's NBBO at that moment, and it grades that specific trade A through F.
Are there tools built specifically for FXCM traders?
Yes. The FXCM-Specific Margin & Instrument Calculator uses FXCM's actual published contract specs rather than a generic formula, and the Swap/Rollover tool surfaces FXCM's real swap rates plus a triple-swap Wednesday alert — both built around FXCM's real published data, not industry averages.
🏛️ Broker Compliance Suite
Who is the Broker Compliance Suite built for?
This 4-extension category is a business tool for forex/CFD brokerage compliance and partnerships teams — not for individual traders. It covers marketing creative review, affiliate/IB content monitoring, multi-jurisdiction regulatory tracking, and dual-entity routing checks.
How does the Marketing Creative Compliance Scanner work?
It checks a landing page, ad, or social post against a specific jurisdiction's rules before it goes live — correct prescribed risk-warning wording, your firm's own current loss percentage rather than a stale figure, and required formatting, flagging language that implies guaranteed profits.
Am I liable for what my affiliates and introducing brokers post?
In most jurisdictions, yes — and the IB/Affiliate Creative Compliance Monitor exists specifically for that exposure. It scans partner-run content for missing risk warnings, banned bonus offers, or leverage claims not permitted in that audience's jurisdiction.
Why is this category priced differently from the others?
This suite serves brokerage businesses protecting real regulatory and revenue exposure, priced at $99+/mo as a business compliance tool rather than a personal-use utility — still a fraction of what a dedicated compliance agency typically charges.
📦 Amazon Wholesale Reseller Toolkit
What does the Amazon Wholesale Reseller Toolkit cover?
6 extensions built for the back-office side of wholesale FBA selling: suspension appeal document assembly, invoice-to-ASIN authenticity tracking, distributor account terms, brand authorization status, and 2026 FBA labeling compliance.
How does the Suspension Appeal Document Assembler help?
When Amazon flags a listing as inauthentic, it pulls the matching distributor invoice and your written explanation into the exact format Amazon's Plan of Action reviewers expect — turning a frantic email search into a same-day submission.
Can I track which distributors offer which payment terms?
Yes — the Distributor Account Terms Tracker keeps net-30/60 terms, minimum order quantities, and rebate thresholds for every distributor account in one place instead of scattered spreadsheets.
Does this connect to my Amazon Seller Central account?
No — every tool works from invoices and data you provide directly. Nothing in this toolkit connects to your live Seller Central session, keeping your account credentials entirely in your control.
🛡️ Amazon Brand Protection Suite
What does the Amazon Brand Protection Suite include?
12 extensions for brand owners and manufacturers: unauthorized-reseller monitoring, MAP compliance scorecards, counterfeit evidence organizing, gray-market source tracing, and tools for finding new qualified wholesale partners.
How do I know if a seller on my listing is actually authorized?
The Authorized Reseller Cross-Reference Watcher checks current sellers on your ASINs against the authorized list you maintain, flagging anyone selling your product who isn't on it — a lightweight version of what enterprise brand-protection agencies charge $2,000+/month for.
Can this help me build a counterfeit case for Amazon?
Yes — the Counterfeit/Gray-Market Evidence Organizer bundles timestamped screenshots, seller info, and test-buy photos into a case file formatted for Amazon Brand Registry or Project Zero submission. It doesn't file the report for you — you still submit it through Amazon's own channels.
Is "authorized reseller" status verified by ExtensionHub or by me?
By you. Every tool in this suite cross-references against the authorized-reseller list you maintain yourself — accuracy depends entirely on keeping that list current, since there's no external authority determining authorization status.
🌍 International Trade Toolkit
What does the International Trade Toolkit cover?
7 extensions for import/export businesses: sanctions screening, Letter of Credit discrepancy checking, an Incoterms explainer, multi-supplier landed-cost comparison, certificate requirement checks, and ISF deadline tracking.
Does the Denied-Party Screener guarantee sanctions compliance?
No — it's a screening aid using the free public Consolidated Screening List. A match is a starting point for real due diligence, not a legal compliance guarantee, given OFAC's strict-liability standard on sanctions violations.
Can this tell me the real cost of a supplier quote?
Yes — the Multi-Supplier Landed-Cost Normalizer accounts for different Incoterms across competing quotes, since a lower unit price under EXW can end up more expensive than a higher DDP price once freight and duty are included.
What is the ISF Deadline Tracker for?
US ocean imports require a 10+2 Importer Security Filing before the vessel departs the foreign port — a frequently missed deadline for smaller, less frequent importers specifically. This tracker keeps that date visible against your actual shipment schedule.
💼 Small Business & Freelancer Toolkit
What does the Small Business & Freelancer Toolkit include?
6 extensions: scope-creep tracking for freelance disputes, vendor contract cancellation-window scanning, merchant processing fee auditing, 1099 threshold tracking, chargeback evidence bundling, and local SEO citation consistency checking.
How does the Freelancer Scope-Creep Tracker help with billing disputes?
It watches for phrases like "just one small thing" in your project threads, timestamps them, and builds a dated log — so when a client claims a feature was always in scope, you have a specific, dated record instead of relying on memory.
Can I tell if I'm being overcharged on card processing?
Yes — paste your monthly statement's total volume, fees, and transaction count into the Merchant Processing Fee Reality-Checker and it calculates your true effective rate, flagging it against typical rates for your business type.
Does this connect to my bank or accounting software?
No — every tool works from numbers and documents you enter directly. None of these extensions require connecting to your bank, payment processor, or accounting platform.
💰 Consumer Money & Shopping Toolkit
What does the Consumer Money & Shopping Toolkit include?
Our second-largest category with 13 extensions: shrinkflation tracking, a fake-discount verdict score, coupon-stacking calculators, warranty tracking, a secondhand theft-registry checker, insurance renewal alerts, and DeFi tools.
How does the Fake-Discount Verdict Score work?
Instead of leaving you to interpret a price chart, it gives a plain verdict — "this sale price is actually 8% higher than the 90-day average" or "genuine discount, lowest price in 6 months" — based on real historical pricing data.
Can I check if a used bike or tool is stolen before buying?
Yes — the Secondhand Item Theft-Registry Checker cross-references a serial number against registries like BikeIndex and flags it if reported stolen, a basic check most buyers don't know exists.
Is the DeFi Impermanent Loss Calculator connected to my wallet?
It reads your position using your public wallet address only, which is safe to share — it never requires a private key or wallet-connection permission.
🏠 Real Estate Investor Toolkit
What does the Real Estate Investor Toolkit cover?
4 extensions deliberately built around gaps that generic cap-rate calculators don't cover: off-market seller-motivation signals, short-term rental regulation checks, real rent-vs-comps comparisons, and 1031 exchange deadline tracking.
How does the Off-Market Seller-Motivation Signal Finder work?
It scans public records — permits, code violations, tax delinquency, probate filings — for distress signals on properties before they're ever listed, rather than analyzing already-listed properties everyone else is running cap-rate math on.
Is the Short-Term Rental Regulation Checker always current?
It's built around currently published local ordinances, but STR regulation is one of the fastest-changing areas of local law — always verify directly with the city before finalizing a purchase decision.
Can this tool file my 1031 exchange paperwork?
No — the 1031 Exchange Deadline Tracker keeps your 45-day identification and 180-day closing deadlines visible against your actual dates. Your Qualified Intermediary remains the party actually executing the exchange mechanics.
🎨 Creator & Online Seller Toolkit
What does the Creator & Online Seller Toolkit include?
Our smallest, most focused category with 3 extensions: sponsorship rate benchmarking for creators, an FTC disclosure compliance checker, and a supplier reliability score aggregator for dropshippers.
How does the Sponsorship Rate Benchmarking Tool help me negotiate?
It compares a brand's offer against typical CPM and engagement-rate benchmarks for your follower count and niche, giving you a concrete, defensible number to counter with instead of just a feeling that an offer seems low.
Is the FTC Disclosure Checker legal advice?
No — it's a pattern-matching check against commonly required disclosure practices and placement, not a substitute for legal counsel on your specific situation.
Why isn't there a "find winning products" dropshipping tool?
That category is already heavily served by established players like AutoDS, Zendrop, and Sell The Trend. This toolkit deliberately targets the adjacent, less-covered problem of supplier reliability instead of competing head-on in a saturated space.
