(13.3) Using Amazon’s Revenue, Sales Volume & Cost Estimation Tool

Using Amazon’s Revenue, Sales Volume & Cost Estimation Tool

Eazyppc welcomes you to the lesson ‘Using Amazon’s Revenue, Sales Volume & Cost Estimation Tool’ – you should read and fully understand the previous lessons, as Eazyppc uses terms and concepts that were explained in earlier posts.

Below is Amazon’s description of this estimation tool (Official Amazon Source):

• ‘The Fee and Economics Preview report provides estimated fees based on historical data and Amazon’s demand forecast to help you estimate future fees and optimize the unit economics of your products at the MSKU level for up to 30 days in the future. The report output includes estimated data for Sales, supported Fees, supported Ads, Per-Unit costs, and Net Proceeds. Data used to generate estimates in this report can be up to 24 hours old.’

In other words:

• The Fee and Economics Preview report provides estimated fees — based on historical data and Amazon’s demand forecast — to help you estimate future costs per product unit (MSKU) for up to the next 30 days.
• The report output includes estimated data on Sales, Fees, Ad costs, Per-Unit costs, and Net Proceeds.
• The data used to generate the estimates in this report may be up to 24 hours old.

-> Best use case: The longer a SKU has been selling, the more accurate the data will be.

Accessing the tool:

• Sellers go to Seller Central > Menu > Inventory > Manage all Inventory > Click on any Child-SKU > SKU Economics Report

In the downloaded CSV file, Amazon provides estimates for the time period selected by the Seller (in the example image, the next 30 days).
