The core

What it comes down to.

Your main question

Which product earns after commission, advertising and returns, and does the account stay healthy?

What has to stay in balance

Sales per marketplace against stock at Fulfilment by bol and FBA.

What you steer on

Profit per product and marketplace.

Why, and what next

Ask through to the cause.

Questions from your kind of business, across your systems.

Should this product sit at the marketplace's fulfilment, or do we ship it ourselves?

  1. What does marketplace fulfilment cost per unit sold, including storage?
  2. How long has the stock been there, compared with sales per day?
  3. What does shipping it yourself do to the buy box and delivery time?

What you do: Choose per product, and pull back slow-moving stock.

Why is a product selling less while price and stock are right?

  1. Did the rating drop, and for what reason: quality, size, delivery or packaging?
  2. Are customers asking more questions than for similar products?
  3. Do we still have the buy box?

What you do: Improve product information or packaging, and take the cause to the supplier.

Are we getting back what the marketplace owes us?

  1. Which units were lost or damaged in marketplace fulfilment?
  2. Does the commission invoiced match the rate and category?
  3. Which claims expire soon?

What you do: File claims on time and dispute settlements that don't match.
