Your channel is a hidden gem, Its like jeff bezos behind jungle scout himself... awsome video, so much knowledge. Trust me i bought so many courses before for amazon, marketing, accounting and finance, but i end up being more confused, the information you guys give in 10-60 mins videos is incredible. I wish i find this channel when i was 20-25 now im 32 lol 😢

Thanks for a good video but what rules should we consider for estimating PPC Costs to include in our total costs. PPC costs would greatly affect those margins and in fact, I am in the red due to these costs after considering the rule of thirds. Appreciate your help.

Hi @Jungle Scout To clarify the cost of goods sold I need to put the price of the Alibaba Product + shipping = would that sum be the value?

@junglescout 3 ай бұрын

That's right! The cost of goods should be the total cost of acquiring your product

@hernanrojas8927 3 ай бұрын

What I was doing was putting it separately in cost of good sold I put the price of the Alibaba supplier and in estimated Shipping cost I put what the shipping cost per unit (towards the account by dividing the shipping value from the Alibaba supplier by the units ) Now I know I have to add it up and put that result directly into Coast of Goods, is that correct? Another question is it correct to choose "Amazon optimized shipping splits" to have a more real value? Because when I create the shipping plan, Amazon sends my products to different warehouses. Many thanks for your help and clarify!

@junglescout 3 ай бұрын

Correct! You need to add all the shipping and manufacturing costs when calculating the Cost of Goods. When it comes to shipping your product, you should be able to consolidate the shipment so that all the products are send to a single warehouse

@hernanrojas8927 3 ай бұрын

@@junglescout I'm sorry to ask this again, but I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. When you said add all shipping and manufacturing cost, do I use the value all together (product+shipping) in "Goods Cost" or each value separately in "Cost of goods" and "Estimated shipping cost"? selecting Amazon optimized shipment splits. I will use as an example: Item price $6.5 A product whose cost is $0.42 $0.28 per unit and shipping from Alibaba is $0.14 per unit Scenario 1: In the calculator I am going to calculate it separately "Cost of goods" and "Estimated shipping cost" and it gives me: NET PROFIT IS $1.66 NET MARGIN 25.49% Scenario 2: In the calculator I am going to calculate everything together for the cost of the product $0.42 in "Cost of goods" and it gives me: NET PROFIT $2.08 NET MARGIN 31.96% The variation is 6.47% and can affect decision-making. A product that leaves me above 30% is not the same as one that is below apliying rule of thirds. What is the scenario that I really should take when calculating the products?

@YesicaEzequielNunezSoria 2 ай бұрын

Hey @JungleScout quick question. In the video when you reach the 33% margin your net profit is $11.00 but your cost of goods is $11.38. Doesn't that mean you're really losing $0.38 per item sold? If not, can you clarify why?

@junglescout 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for getting back to us about this, Net profit means that this is your take home pay after all the expensed and FBA fees including the COGS.

@YesicaEzequielNunezSoria 2 ай бұрын

@@junglescout so if I understand correctly, in the example of the video you'd be earning $11 on top of all the costs INCLUDING the COGS. So, to put it in other words, the money amazon will pay you back will be enough to re-purchase another item of $11.38 (cost) and you'll still have $11 left as earnings. Sorry if this is a silly question, just want to make sure I understand and don't mess up on my first purchase.

@junglescout 2 ай бұрын

That's correct. Amazon will release the total amount of your products minus all the Amazon fees. This means you'll receive the profit plus COGs you added (as part of the total pricing).

@mecadvusa Жыл бұрын

When trying to reach the 33% profit. Do you guys consider advertising costs in this formula or is this evaluation just strictly the cost of Goods & Shipping only?

@junglescout Жыл бұрын

It is good if the Advertising cost is already included, but generally, in the beginning, while in the product research phase, we are just including the landed costs.

You can determine your COGS or Cost of Goods Sold once you have an official quote from your supplier and the shipping quote. You can enter that under "Other Cost" in the Amazon Revenue Calculator.

@junglescout Жыл бұрын

Jungle Scout supports the Australia marketplace; however, we are limited to seller features now. You can access the Supplier Tracker, Review Automation, Sales Analytics, and Manage Products. We are not yet set up for product research this time for other marketplaces. Every marketplace behaves differently, so we need to develop algorithms for each store and category and consider specific sales velocity.

Supposed you list a product on amazon at $20 FBA and when a customer buy it the product so they will pay $20+$6 (shipping cost). My question is Amazon will deducted the shipping fees from customer($6) or will charged seller from$20 ? As the customer pay $6 for shipping too. Please explain to me. thanks

@junglescout 10 ай бұрын

For FBA, sellers do not have to pay for shipping, handling, or packaging. It is already covered by the FBA seller fees deducted from you. Shipping fees are shouldered by the buyer and are remitted to Amazon.

Please note that the filter for Seller type is not for 'user' but for 'products'. So if you choose the FBA/FBM filter in the Extension, it will only show you products where the Buy Box owner is either the FBA or FBM seller. If you choose Amazon, then it will display listings where Amazon owns the Buy Box. Hope this makes sense!

Isn't "Net" profit in this context a bit misleading? Wouldn't pre-marketing/tax profit be a more accurate way to describe the margin from this calculator? It leaves out two of the highest expenses for an Amazon seller: Marketing and Taxes. The taxes may cost more than the product itself if you are paying 30-37% in self employment income tax on your profits. Net Profit should be the money that hits your bank account at the end of the fiscal year. Marketing should have its own line in the calculator. If you don't know how much marketing cost you can tolerate, your entire business can go to zero in the span of 2-3 months and you lose everything.

@junglescout Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback! Marketing expenses, Taxes, and other costs can also be accounted towards your Net Profit calculations. You can add this to your "unit costs" or "miscellaneous cost" on the Amazon Revenue Calculator. sellercentral.amazon.com/hz/fba/profitabilitycalculator/index?lang=en_US
