Sample analysis: how a quote changes after real FBA costs

This example shows why a product that looks profitable at first glance can change once Amazon fees, shipping, PPC, refunds and first-order cash are included.

Example scenario

Example quote: Outdoor Backpack

This example starts with a quote that can look attractive at first glance: buying at $8.50 and selling at $37.99 appears to leave margin. SKUReady checks whether that margin still holds after real costs are added.

Estimated selling price

$37.99

Supplier cost / EXW

$8.50 per unit

Shipping to Amazon

$2.20 per unit

Target ACoS

18%

First order

500 units

SKUReady then adds Amazon fees, FBA costs, PPC, refunds and first-order cash to see whether the quote still makes sense before placing a PO.
