Illustrative calculation. Marketplace statements and the seller cost model remain the source for actual values.
Confirm the commission base
Check whether the marketplace applied the rate to the expected sale amount and whether returns or corrections changed the period result. Use statement rows, not only the current tariff page.
Add the costs around the commission
Logistics, storage, penalties, advertising, tax and product cost can turn a seemingly acceptable commission into a negative product result.
Investigate the largest difference first
Sort deductions by amount, open the statement detail and verify the date, SKU and operation type. Correct mapping or cost inputs before changing the price.
Frequently asked questions
Is a low commission enough for a product to be profitable?
No. Profit also depends on logistics, returns, advertising, tax, storage and product cost.
Why can the commission differ from a simple rate calculation?
The statement may contain returns, corrections, different operation types or a different calculation base.
