Good ol’ Amazon FBA FEES

Started in January. Just wanted to see what it took and felt like to receive a check from Amazon for $1K after 2 weeks of selling. I hit that mark but received only $300+.

1. $4.00 for promo and rebates????
2. 4 returns. First time ever. One complaint was they had an undeliverable address???? 3.$400 for Account Level Reserve. Supposedly getting back 4/2.
3. Subscription fee
4. $10 “other”
5. Is there a number you can call to speak to a seller rep? Called main Amazon and they said no.

So realistically you would have to make almost $1500 in 14 days to receive a $1k check (if your products are selling). So instead of shooting for $71 per day of profit, it is $107 per day. Most importantly, How much money do you have to spend to reach that amount? I don’t feel comfortable spending more than $500. Will update later how much I spent. Honestly didn’t check. Just curious on others’ thoughts about this?
