Many sellers look only at product cost and selling price, then discover their margin is much lower after fees are added. A better check includes shipping, packaging, payment fees, marketplace commissions, and any promo cost.
The result is a more realistic profit number. That matters because a product that looks strong in a spreadsheet can become weak once fulfillment is included.
If you want a quick check, start with the selling price, then subtract every cost tied to the order. After that, compare the remaining amount to revenue to see whether the margin is still healthy.
