You would never imagine that many Taiwanese cross-border sellers who are selling well on Amazon are losing a lot of profit because they neglected to calculate the cost accurately! As an e-commerce entrepreneur, you need not only good products, but also a clear cost structure analysis.
In the previous post, we talked about "A Newbie Seller's Guide to Calculating the Cost of Opening a Store", which gives you a preliminary understanding of Amazon's store opening costs. This post will take you one step further and analyze the complete cost structure from manufacturing to selling, helping you to accurately grasp the flow of every penny.
What's most striking is that many sellers who have had extensive experience in traditional manufacturing have fallen down in the cross-border e-commerce arena. Why? Because from the OEM mentality to brand management, the entire cost structure has changed dramatically. In addition to the manufacturing cost of the product itself, we also need to consider marketing, logistics, platform commissions and other costs.
Amazon official provides a powerful tool especially for Taiwan sellers - Cost Profit Calculator. This Excel tool can automatically calculate the detailed cost structure and percentage just by filling in a few basic information. For example, did you know that Most categories of sales commissions fall between 8-20%, and logistics costs are divided into headway and tailway, each calculated in a different way.
What's even cooler is that this calculator also helps you compare the cost difference between FBA and self-delivery, so you can make the most informed choice. Want to know how to properly use this powerful tool? I'm going to walk you step-by-step through how to fill out all the information you need to make your cross-border e-commerce journey a little less complicated.
