Your item's cost and currency are required in order to set your Min and Max prices with the Profit or ROI calculation.
Setting Cost / Currency on Individual Listings
The cost and cost currency fields in the edit listing box allow you to enter the cost for your SKU and set the appropriate currency.
In order to set the currency, the dollar amount you enter into the cost field must be greater than 0. Negative amounts will not be used.
Additional Cost
You’ll also see a field labeled Additional Cost. This is a separate value from the base Cost and is designed for other expenses like shipping or packaging. Like Cost, it’s:
Applied at the SKU level
Included in profit calculations and formula-based min/max prices
Editable individually or in bulk via CSV uploads
This gives you more flexibility in managing your margins without inflating the base product cost.
Setting Cost / Currency in Bulk
You can also use templates to update your cost/cost currency. The cost and cost currency columns are included in the "All Available Fields" and the "Set or Update Cost" templates. Cost values that do not have a currency specified will be exported into these templates as USD.
IMPORTANT:
If you have a cost specified in your file but no currency set, the file will fail.
If you upload a file that has currency indicated, but not cost, the currency codes will not be applied to your listings.
