Product pricing examples help ecommerce sellers avoid choosing a price from cost alone.
Example one: A product costs 24 to buy and sells for 60. Shipping, payment fees, packaging, and average support cost add 11. Profit is 25 before ads, so the margin is 41.67%.
Example two: The same product is discounted to 48. Costs still total 35. Profit falls to 13 and margin becomes 27.08%. The discount looks like 20%, but the profit reduction is much larger.
Example three: A product costs 40 and the seller wants a 45% margin before ads. The selling price needs to be based on total variable cost, not only product cost. If shipping and fees add 12, the cost base is 52, and the target price is 94.55.
