In order for PPP to deliver accurate calculations it is important to tell it what to consider when it is churning out the numbers.

It will certainly impact the Min & Max Automation results, but also the profit and ROI calculations shown in the Inventory page.

In the Account tab, go to Break Even Fees in the Calculation Settings to set up the fees and costs that Profit Protector Pro should consider when repricing.

The fees and costs to be entered are those specific to a business, not the fees that Amazon apply to any sales made. Profit Protector Pro automatically pulls them directly from Amazon.

In each box enter applicable costs per unit, for example the Prep Fee might be charges from a prep centre, or the cost of an employee. The Bundle Prep Fee could include any additional packaging cost, or what a prep centre charge for bundling items.

The Shipping Cost is the cost associated with sending products into Amazon FBA through either their shipping partner, or any other shipping company. For MF sellers this should be left blank, or use it to input the average cost of shipping items manually if they don’t want to use the Extra Fee box for this.

Extra Fees can be entered as either a monetary value or a percentage.

For UK sellers, the UK VAT selection will be key to accurate results.

Those on the Flat Fee Scheme should select this, otherwise Standard Accounting (for VAT-registered businesses) or Non VAT Registered depending on the status of the business.

Sellers from the US can select Not Applicable.

The VAT Exempt options should only be changed to Exempt by sellers who have applied, and been accepted into, the Amazon Fees VAT Exemption Scheme.

The ROI Method will determine what fees and costs Profit Protector Pro will take into account in their calculations.

Each method includes or discounts fees and costs depending on how a seller wishes to account for them.

Most UK sellers choose Method 4 as it results in the closest to the final ROI and profit might be for a product. US sellers are usually advised to choose Method 5.

If any changes are made, be sure to click on Save Changes at the bottom of the page to apply them.
