FBA cost structure:
Product purchase cost (gift) (packaging cost) (quality inspection fee), logistics cost (supplier warehouse – port logistics cost) (port of origin – port of destination logistics cost) (port of destination – destination warehouse logistics cost);
Amazon commission (15% of sales), co-location fee (0.3 USD 2.1 RMB)
The giveaways, packaging costs, quality inspection costs in this can be added if available, and ignored if not.
Product purchase cost
This product purchase cost is our final purchase price after tax, and this purchase cost is subject to change.
After we have certain sales volume, we can negotiate with the factory for a lower purchase price, thus reducing our costs.
Here we recommend a pricing idea: start with a 15% profit margin.
We use high quality products with the mid-range market price range, with a relatively low profit margin to occupy the market, after the sales volume to negotiate a lower purchase price with the factory.
