Common Mistakes to Avoid
⚠️
Including promoted fees in profit
Promoted listings are an additional % fee on the sale price on top of FVF.
⚠️
Not accounting for actual shipping cost
Free shipping isn’t free — include the carrier cost you pay.
⚠️
Ignoring refunds and returns
Budget 2–5% of sales for returns and refund processing.
