How Much Profit Amazon Toys Seller Get In Amazon?

This article original from TonySourcing.com by Tony

Recently quite a lot of client ask me is it a good idea to register an account to sell online/amazon? how is it the profit situation for other seller sales?

Below we do a research, to check how much profit for bestseller get in Amazon sale.

How I calculate it is:

Total profit=Unit profit X sale Quantity

Unit Profit = Sale price – Amazon commission – FBA fee – shipping fee to FBA warehouse- FOB price

#1  I random find out 3 bestseller toys(top 100) in Amazon(2017.Sep.12th).this 3 items we just mark it A, B, C

ITEM A

ITEM B

ITEM C

For A, sale in 11.49  (3,938 reviews)

For B, sale $14.97  (4,905 reviews)

For C, sale $ 8.49  (634 reviews)

#2 we sourcing those 3 items in China toys Market, it cost me 4 hours to get price and packing detail then make quotation list.This price is factory price in China.

#3 count inland charge/unit.

One 40ft container = 68CBM, inland charge it is around 6,500RMB(1,000$)

For A,QTY in container = 68CBM / 0.24CBM(carton volume) X 36pcs(carton pack)=10,199pcs,because it need to pack with pallet,some space will be wasted ,so final load QTY will be around 8,640pcs

this cost including container loading fee, China custom declaration fee,

container transportation fee from factory to Ningbo port (export port in China).

So inland charge/unit = 0.12 $/pcs

#4 all cost from Ningbo port to Amazon FBA warehouse.

This cost including sea freight from Ningbo to USA import port(here set as Dallas port ), customs clearance fee, transport fee to Amazon FBA warehouse.this cost = 37,000RMB(5,692$)

So Average shipping fee to FBA warehouse = 5692$/8640pcs=0.66$

#5 Amazon service fee + delivery fee.

(I use this link: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/hz/fba/profitabilitycalculator/index?lang=en_US)

Selling in amazon fee:1.72$

FBA fee: 4.79$

Amazon service fee + delivery fee For A item = 6.51 $/unit

---

Now,Profit/unit= $11.49- $2 – $0.12 -$0.66 – $6.51= $ 2.2

For this item,it get 3,938review (till 2017,Sep.15),it sale around 262,533(around 1-2 % buyer will leave review.)so,this seller make profit 262,533 order X $2.2 = 577,572 $!!

is it that surprise you?

Now, we can see, 19 %  ($2.2/$11.49)profit for A item.

B Item: 2.05$ unit profit, 13.6% profit, total profit = 2.05$ X 327000 order = 670350$

C Item: 1.55$ unit profit, 18% profit, total profit = 1.55$ X 42266 order= 65512.3$

Above it is info for reference only.

Toys supplier it is quite important for the seller, mostly they buy toys from China.
