Sellers often lose margin through small costs that are easy to miss: payment fees, marketplace commission, shipping gaps, advertising spend, returns, packaging, and tax reserves. This page gives a quick planning model in USD so you can compare products before listing or scaling ads.
SEO-ready pricing workflow
- Enter a realistic sale price and landed product cost.
- Add shipping cost, ad cost per order, and a return reserve.
- Check whether net margin stays positive after fees and tax reserve.
- Compare the same product across related marketplaces and countries.
Profit planning example
A handmade product can have strong gross margin but weak net margin once packaging, free shipping, offsite ads, and remake or refund risk are included.
Common margin mistakes
- Treating free shipping as free to the seller.
- Ignoring paid ads or offsite ads.
- Forgetting packaging and production waste.
- Not separating labor-heavy products from scalable products.
