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 😢

[@junglescout]

Thank you so much! 🧡

[@jonathandow5902]

I love you guys content and the help you provide with understanding this business... thank you for your time, effort, and consistency. You are truly appreciated.. Sincerely, The community.

Thank you! 🧡

[@jhonnyjean8704]

thank you so much for this video much love jungle scout

[@junglescout]

It's our pleasure! Glad you liked it! 😍

[@WalidFeghali]

Thanks so much for this. But why are you putting that huge shipping cost for the sellers expense when Amazon covers it with the Fulfilment fee already counted in? The fulfilment fee should cover all of the shipping and everything else, so why add it as an extra expense on our end?

[@junglescout]

We were adding the shipping costs for the FBM orders, not FBA 😉

[@WalidFeghali]

@@junglescout Ah! Makes sense. Thanks :)

[@E-comDirection]

Thanks for such a clear explanation .. much appreciated ..

You are most welcome!

[@RVS214]

Uline shipping is expensive. I would put the boxes in my cart and add in the shipping fees and divide the total by the number of boxes.

[@Mikaeelkh6n]

Hi big fan 😊

[@wilsonfelixhernandezcasado8505]

This is very useful information

[@junglescout]

We're so glad our content somehow helped you with your FBA journey! 💪

[@yogibear3511]

Hi, you forgot PPC advertising costs - which would then impact the $11 net profit greatly !

[@thejackleader]

Not to mention VAT 😂😂😂

[@iqrazrar1018]

hi thanks for nice info,, i want to ask you which software do you use to edit lectures thanks

[@pluto-uj6zn]

Hello, very nice and clear video. However, how do I proceed if I want to know my profit margin on a bundle that contains several different products ? Because I don't know what I am supposed to fill in the "Package dimensions" boxes.

[@junglescout]

The package dimension refers to the size of the box, pouch, or parcel that your item will be shipped in.

[@pluto-uj6zn]

@@junglescout Okay makes sense, thank you :)

[@7mall-gadgets]

Nice content !!

[@junglescout]

Hey! Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the content! 🙂

[@sdwivedi27]

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.

[@junglescout]

Hi! Ideally, you'll want to include it in the cost 1/3. To do that, use our Keyword tool to estimate PPC costs.

[@YesicaEzequielNunezSoria]

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]

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]

@@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]

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).

[@hernanrojas8927]

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]

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

[@hernanrojas8927]

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]

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]

​@@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?

[@mecadvusa]

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]

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.

[@mecadvusa]

[@jarekwtk9143]

Hi, if I buy a product in a wholesale, I enter the net price of the product into the calculator, right?

[@junglescout]

You may edit the item price on the calculator.

[@jarekwtk9143]

@@junglescout I meant do I enter the wholesale price net or gross into the calculator?

[@junglescout]

You should enter the actual price of what you paid for the product and add the other cost to misc.

[@FaisalHussain-i6i]

excellent video

[@MR-AK]

Thanks but Where is the cost of purchase of the item? As in my cost to purchase the item before I sell on Amazon?

[@junglescout]

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.

[@arshpreetdhindsa7561]

Hi, when will jungle scout come to Australia?

[@junglescout]

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.

[@QueenQueen-c7z]

so if you use Amazon FBA, Amazon covers the shipping fee to the customer or will you still be charged the fee? Can someone please help me with this? Thank you!

[@junglescout]

Amazon covers it!

[@wontedmiddle]

Is this OA or private labeling?

[@junglescout]

This is for Private Label.

[@gianlucaperez8214]

Hi, for products under 35 usd... do we have to pay fba shipping fees? or the customer does? as the fba calculator tells you that we have to pay and amazon doesnt say anything Please help me i am current subscriptor of jougle scout software

[@junglescout]

The FBA fees are mandatory if you are doing FBA, regardless of the cost of your product. It is based on the weight and dimensions of your product. You can check out our article here www.junglescout.com/blog/amazon-fba-fees/

[@ObaidullahAhmadzai-vl8kg]

completely understand

[@abdinaserabdullahi6703]

Why is estimated fee per sold item so high? I just made shipment plan

[@junglescout]

I suggest using the Amazon revenue Calculator to double-check the Seller Fees.

[@MarvinAlvarez-fe4fl]

i cant find the filter option, where is it ?

[@junglescout]

Are you referring to the "Filter Results" option on the Extension? If this is missing on your end, you can try to uninstall and reinstall the Extension.

[@MarvinAlvarez-fe4fl]

@@junglescout yes, I’m still waiting for my application on Amazon seller, I’m not sure if is bc of that or I can use the filter results without the Amazon seller ( still waiting to be verified) thanks

[@junglescout]

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!

[@QuotesDailyBook]

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]

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.

[@QuotesDailyBook]

@@junglescout thank you so much

[@junglescout]

You are always welcome! 😊

[@TanTran-fe7rf]

Why do not adding ‘Ship to AMZ’ fee for FBA?

[@junglescout]

I believe that the shipping going to the FBA warehouse should be incorporated with the COGS.

[@TanTran-fe7rf]

@@junglescout what do you mean by COGS?

[@junglescout]

COGS is the Cost of Goods Sold. It is the cost of procuring/sourcing the product you wish to sell on Amazon.

The profit things still confuses me. To me it seems like you spent $11.38 and only getting back $11.00. Am I seeing this the wrong way? Please help

[@junglescout]

You need to add all the expenses to come up with the amount.

[@businessev]

oh je viens de trouver la fonction dans les paramètres ....désolée je débute

[@air2ear]

How do you estimate the shipping fee per item, from supplier to Amazon warehouse?

[@junglescout]

You can get quotes from suppliers or freight forwarding companies. It will depend on the type of transportation as well as the weight and dimensions of the final package.

[@air2ear]

Thank you so much@@junglescout

[@victoriancu4409]

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]

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
