5. Crossover

- Selling-price crossover for equal profit (Channel A vs Channel B): ≈ 97,91
6. Interpretation
- Channel A leaves 1.40 more profit per unit than Channel B under these assumptions, despite a higher fee stack.
- At the current assumptions, Channel A remains more profitable until its marketplace fee reaches approximately 16.4%.
- Channel A shows 21.8% margin and 21.80 profit per unit at the entered selling price.

Key concepts
- Marketplace fee
- Platform commission usually charged as a percentage of the selling price (sometimes plus fixed fees).
- Payment processing fee
- Card or wallet processing costs — often a mix of percent and fixed amounts.
- Fulfillment fee
- Pick, pack, storage or carrier costs borne by the seller per unit.
- Advertising cost
- Sponsored placement spend as a share of selling price — treat as an explicit rate for planning.
- Return cost
- Expected loss = return rate × (selling price + processing cost). Phase A does not model marketplace-specific refunded-fee rules.
- Margin vs markup
- Margin is profit ÷ selling price. Markup is profit ÷ cost. They are not interchangeable.
- Break-even price
- The selling price where profit is zero after percentage fees and expected returns.
Informational planning tool only. Actual marketplace fees, taxes and refunds vary by country, category, plan and date. Results are not financial, accounting or tax advice. Confirm official fee schedules before decisions.
Method
All fees are user-supplied. Expected return loss is modelled explicitly. Break-even and target-margin prices use the same reverse-price algebra as International Pricing & Margin.
FAQ
Does this use official Amazon or eBay fees?
No. Phase A treats your entered rates as the source of truth. Official schedules change by country, category and plan.
Is the highest-profit channel a recommendation?
No. Labels are descriptive under your current assumptions only — not absolute marketplace recommendations.
