Selling a low cost product with AmazonFBA

Hello !

I am creating a product, and I try to find how to sell it. The product would cost between 8 to 12e, for 3,5e to create, and have the potential of multiple sales if customers like it.

Regarding AmazonFBA, by looking at costs, I don’t see this working. But looking at other products, people are selling stuffs at 10e : are they losing money ?

My case :

– The product 3,5e

– AmazonFBA, small item, France 3,31e

– Amazon commition 0,47e

– TVA 1,6 to 2,4e

Total cost : 8,88e (sell for 8e) to 9,68e (sell for 12e)

Am I missing something ? I may overestimate AmazonFBA costs, as it may be ship with other items ?

If I am correct I can :

– Upgrade my marging (difficult, not impossible)

– Sell in bundle to mutualise costs

– Sell direct, 8e + 5e port

– Be more expensive (may not be possible regarding the product)

I would really like to go through Amazon Prime with benefits coming with it, but I don’t find a solution. Do you have any insight ? Thanks !
