What's a Good ROI?

  • 100%+ ROI: Excellent — keep sourcing this product
  • 50-100% ROI: Good — viable but watch your margins
  • 30-50% ROI: Marginal — only for proven winners
  • Under 30% ROI: Skip — too risky for new products

Pro Tips for Amazon Sellers

  • Always add 10-15% buffer for unexpected costs (returns, storage, fees)
  • Advertising costs are higher for new products — budget 20-30% for the first 3 months
  • Your profit margin should be at least 25% to be sustainable
  • Don't forget about the cost of your time and any tools (Helium 10, Jungle Scout, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main Amazon FBA fees?

Referral fee (15% average), FBA fulfillment fee (USD 3-5 per unit), monthly storage (USD 0.87/cubic foot), and long-term storage for items over 365 days.

What profit margin is good for Amazon FBA?

25-35% net margin is healthy. Below 15% is risky — one fee increase or return spike can make you unprofitable.

Optimize packaging size, use FBA Small and Light if eligible, remove slow-moving inventory before long-term storage kicks in, and consider Seller Fulfilled Prime for high-AOV items.
