Costs are important in configuring profit and determining min/max prices using a formula or profit-based strategy setting. Though costs are not a necessity to reprice your listings, we highly recommend adding them as without them we will be unable to calculate profit on orders or show the profit you will be making your current price.

Costs are required if you are to use any of our calculated min/max strategy settings such as: Profit-based, Fixed-profit, ROI-based, or Formula-based min/max methods.

Costs are also essential when analyzing your profits. By adding costs to your account, you will be able to see how much of your revenue is profits. This information will give you insight into whether you need to adjust your min/max prices, invest in more inventory, and generally how well your business is doing.

You will be able to see all your profit information in on your Dashboard, listings page, and the Analytics section of your account. Here you will also find sales data, buy box information, and recommendations.

Manually: You can set costs on the listings page by clicking the pencil (edit) icon under the Actions column. From there, you will be able to add the cost within the listing control panel.

Be sure to include the correct cost currency as well to make sure any calculations using that cost are performed correctly.

Uploads: Our upload templates allow you to edit information in bulk through spreadsheets rather than individually. We offer various types of templates that can be downloaded within the Uploads page of your account.

To set your costs via our templates, you can use either the All Available Fields or the Set or Update Costs template. When entering your costs via an upload it is important to include both the cost and the currency for that cost to make sure your upload processes without errors.

Bulk Edit: On the listings page, you can start to take bulk actions on items by selecting either a single checkbox on the left side of a given listing or by selecting the empty checkbox at the top of the listings table to select all items on that page. After doing this, you can select the option at the top to bulk edit costs.

Integrations: Many of our supported Integrations allow you to have your integrator automatically send costs over to our system. For a list of supported integrations you can check our Integrations page or our Help Center Integrations section for more detailed information on each integration.
