How can I calculate handling, packaging and storage costs depending on my product weight and measurements? I tried to use FBA revenue calculator, but my product is not listed on Amazon, so it was not find. Who will help? Thx

    Sometimes this is hard to calculate because it won't calculate If Amazon is not currently selling the product. What I do in this situation is let's sag for example I am getting this product for 30 bucks I probably would sell it for 90 dollars because amazon will probably take around 30% and probably a little more especially if its oversized.

      Find the closest possible match and then run it through the calculator...that will at least get you pretty close to a match.

      I won't say you should ignore storage fees, but they are pretty minimal overall. I have a lot of products in FBA and my charges are a drop in the bucket.

      And what if I list on eBay instead of Amazon? Should I take 10% ebay fees, 2.9% paypal, and 15% FBA? (because amazon fees are like 15%)

    Use a similar product and do an estimate. You won't get an exact amount until you have your product listed on Amazon unfortunately.

    One of the things I do when I find a brand new product for amazon is I enter all the information in and send it to the warehouse and once it gets there I may lower or raise the price depending on if its selling or not.I always say 30% in amazon because I have sold some stuff that gets charged close to 30% so I always like to think on the high side. As for eBay there fees are a lot lower but you also have to deal with shipping each item to the customer and during peak seasons that could be a full time job on its own.
