Thanks so much and love you for sharing Calculator and also explaining about fees. For a starter like me, I thought I bought an item for 0.30 and sell it on Amazon for $5.00, I thought I can make huge profits but after watching your video now I can calculate each product. Love you and whoever god u follow bless ur family.

It’s not 1/3 in most cases. It’s over 50%. They steal 50% of your revenue. If your COG is say $3 and you sell for $19.99 via FBA, your GP is barely $6. Not many products can have a COG of $3 with a selling price of $19.99. There are 2 groups making bank in this e-comm model, Amazon and China based sellers.

The fees go up significantly if your product is no longer in the Small Standard tier. If you stay within small standard, the profit margin is around 1/3 like I stated in the video.

Thank you for this incredibly insightful video, we have been trying to figure out all the fees so this helps! Do you have any new videos on inventory management? Also, just a thought - you mention how storage fees are higher during Q4 and to properly plan so you don't have excess inventory. However, with our supplier, we realized they shut down for Chinese New Year so we'll probably need more inventory arriving in November/December to make up for that 1-2 month loss during the beginning of the following year. Thoughts on this?

Thank you for your videos! I have several questions. I’ve been selling for about a year now. #1 is there any way to not be charged a removal fee when an item has to be removed due to customer damage? #2 How can sellers be better protected when Amazon loses or miscounts inventory? I have sent many packages that were triple counted and included a packing slip and they still claim 1-5 units are missing. It doesn’t happen all the time but it makes me super weary to send in large quantities of items, also if they claim items are missing can you get reimbursed for the new placement fee since it’s per unit? #4 do you know of any additional insurance sellers can buy when shipping items in the the FBA warehouse that protects us against “lost or damaged” items?

Just a comment: I got about 10 of my products returned by customers, my products were made of good quality. I have no idea why they got returned. Thank you for all you do for all of us.

Might as well do fbm & store our own inventory. It's less expensive. Members in my family do it with their own businesses ( not Amazon ). This all looks so complicated just to do.

@CrescentKao

In most cases, that's not true. If you do FBM, you have to handle all the of the logistics from taking orders, packaging, prep, printing labels, shipping and handling, customer support and returns and refunds. And you have to buy all of the shipping and packing material. With FBA, for a small fee, Amazon takes care of all of it and you don't have to store your inventory at home or at warehouse. This goes over it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nH9kl86NfL2ZftI.html

Great video--thank you. I'm wondering if you know where those "placement fees" show up on the unified transaction report in the payments dashboard? Meaning what are they labeled under? Being able to isolate those fees for analysis on whether turning that feature on and off would be nice to know for determining if speed is worth the extra LTL fee/shipment. Thanks in advance!

@CrescentKao

I'm glad you found value in the video! You're not going to find that fee on any reports if you haven't already used it. The fee starts at $0.30/unit. Just do the math yourself and decide if it's worth it or not.

​@@CrescentKao Gotcha. Thanks for the response. Let me rephrase. I've been selling on amazon FBA for quite some time. I use the Unified Transaction report to export all of my financial data, monthly. I haven't been able to track down where those transfer fees are located. Do you know how those show up on that statement?

Another question, if I have inventory that is moving consistently, how do they track which inventory is new vs long term storage if all of the product labels are the same? I just want to make sure they aren’t charging fees that are unnecessary since I know they like to do that

@CrescentKao

3 ай бұрын

They don't physically track each individual unit. If you sent in 10 units and 9 didn't sell for 365 days and you send in 10 more units, you still have 9 that are 365 days old and will get charged long term storage on those 9.

Can you explain fees for the individual account why is Amazon charging me 6.55 twice a month. I thought there were no hidden fees in the individual account.

So if I sent my inventory to one warehouse I have to pay a fee for this? And if I choose to split my inventory to more than 1 warehouse, my manufactured will charge me more for the shipping and I must to choose the best option?

@CrescentKao

Hello. Yes, as I explained in the video, turning on the Inventory Placement Option has a per unit fee. You don’t get to choose to split the shipment or not, Amazons system makes that choice for you depending on what your shipping in and how many.

Why does FBA charge me fees in the individual account when I had to wait 3 weeks for Fba to add my inventory for sale. They charged me 6.55 when I first sent in shipment and now they charging me another 6.55 tomorrow. But since June 9th until now I was unable to sell anything because they took 3'weeks to stock inventory.

Any money you owe is always deduced from your revenue first. If your revenue doesn't cover the balance owed, Amazon will debit the balance from your credit card.
