Turning fees into profit
The referral fee is only part of the picture. You also pay the FBA fee for the item's size and weight, and VAT changes the maths a lot: VAT-registered sellers remove 20% output VAT from the price but reclaim VAT on stock and fees, while non-registered sellers keep the full price but can't reclaim the VAT Amazon adds to its fees.
The free spreadsheet does all of this per product, and the MarginMate browser extension does it on the Amazon product page.
