Hello Sellers,

I’ve recently crossed ₹50,000 in sales on Amazon, but I’ve noticed that I’m barely earning anything in terms of actual profit. After accounting for Amazon fees, shipping, ads, returns, and other expenses, my margins seem to have vanished completely.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Product Cost + Packaging

Amazon Fees (Referral, Closing, FBA/Shipping, etc.)

Sponsored Ads (ACoS is high)

Returns/Refunds

Miscellaneous costs (GST, pickup issues, etc.)

Despite a decent sales volume, the net earnings are negligible, or in some cases, I’m even at a loss.

Can experienced sellers please share:

Tips to reduce costs or optimize margins?

How to manage advertising with a better ACoS?

Tools or strategies to track actual profit?

Any hidden fees or cost areas I might be missing ? I would appreciate any suggestions or resources that could help me move from just “selling” to actually “earning.”
