A little info please

[GrannyT]

I have a well established Amazon account (in its second year) and it has never really done much more than pay the monthly subscription and return a little profit - all my energies have been on EB.

I am having trouble working out how much it will cost me to sell items on Amazon as I am about to ramp it up a bit.

The items are appox £150 plus £20 shipping

I expect to sell 10 - 30 items per month

Assuming therefore a gross sale of £170 (including shipping) how much will I finish up with in my bank account per sale?

Apologies if this is a simple question that I should already know the answer to but any help would be appreciated

It is on the UK platform and it is a stealth account

My own q is

The Amazon fees (percentages) are different in different categories. In the US, anywhere from 8% to 15%. The higher risk Amazon thinks the category is, the closer to 15% the fee shall be. So you need to know the category your item is in before you can figure out your gross. Shipping fees are not charged Amazon fees and are added on after the fees are deducted from the transaction, which is why they refer to it as a "shipping concession".

what is the catagory?....

Start to do the listing on amazon just before you confirm it it will tell you exactly the amount you will get, after fee's you dont need to confirm the listing to do this

I deleted the inane content of the rest of your post.

May I remind you this is against forum rules.

Not even remotely funny any longer.

Despite repeated requests to stop, you have not.

Start now.

If you click EDIT it tells you what you will make after amazon fees. So all you have to do is subtract shipping and BAM. That will be your gross

Read and understood. Glad you got your answer GTran.

Hi
Completely off the subject but does anyone know if you can set up an Amazon account with a mobile number?

Thanks

[rsot]

Should make a new post for this Optimus but what is the problem? Can't you just put the phone number when you make seller page?

[rsot]

@Optimus, sorry if I was not clear - yes I have been able to.

Yes i know i am so sorry i am new on here and i must say it took me a while to work out what i was doing! I think i have managed it now...

I was just basically about to set up an account and i wondered if Amazon only let you set up an account if you have a landline number. I dont have one i have a mobile only.
