Fee rate sources
The profit and fee calculators prefill marketplace rates so you get a realistic answer before touching a single field. Prefilled is not the same as trustworthy — so this page lists every rate we use, where it comes from, and when we last checked it. Rates marked “needs your check” could not be verified against a public official page (typically because the exact figure sits behind a seller login) and are labeled accordingly in the calculator too.
Every rate is an editable input: if your category, country or seller tier differs, type your own number and the calculation updates instantly. Changes to this table are recorded in the rate update log.

Verification policy
- Rates are re-checked against their official pages on a rolling basis; anything older than 180 days is flagged internally for re-verification.
- We only cite platform-owned pages as primary sources. Where a figure lives behind a seller login (like Amazon’s exact FBA rate card), we say so instead of laundering a third-party number as official.
- Spotted a stale rate? The fastest fix is telling us — the correction and its date will appear in the update log.
