Audit marketplace profit. Five products with price, cost, marketplace fees, shipping, packaging, advertising and returns: [PRODUCT_ECONOMICS]. Monthly volumes: [VOLUMES]. Fee schedule as published: [FEE_SCHEDULE].

Calculate contribution per sale and per month for each product, show the arithmetic, find items that lose money after fees and returns, and test break-even at lower prices. Be clear about assumptions.

Return a table with Product, Revenue, Costs, Contribution and Verdict (red, amber, green), a score from 1 to 10 for margin health, and options to test. Fees change, so confirm them on the marketplace [VERIFY]; tax treatment is for an accountant.

Also suggest how to include returns, damaged stock and storage fees in the calculation, how to test the effect of a price change on contribution, and when to stop selling a product on the marketplace. Add a note on checking fee changes every quarter.

Then create a pricing and channel strategy model using only my numbers. Build a table with each product's price on each channel, the fees, shipping, returns allowance, advertising and packaging, and the contribution per unit and per month. Add a what-if section that shows the effect of a five percent price change, a ten percent increase in fees and a doubling of returns. Identify products to keep on the marketplace, move to my own store, bundle, reprice or drop, and express each as an option with its risks. Write a monthly review routine that updates fees and costs from statements and flags changes. Include a section on cash flow timing, such as payout delays and reserves. Describe how to communicate price differences between channels honestly. Fees and terms change often and must be confirmed with the marketplace [VERIFY]; tax treatment is for an accountant.

Treat ratios and benchmarks as rough rules of thumb that vary by industry. Ask me for the sector before comparing, and tag any benchmark you cite [VERIFY] with its source.

Contribution table (invented, per unit)
Product A: price 30; cost 12; marketplace fee 15% = 4.50; shipping paid 3.20; packaging 0.80; ads 2.10; returns allowance 1.20. Contribution 30 - 12 - 4.50 - 3.20 - 0.80 - 2.10 - 1.20 = 6.20 (20.7%).
Product B: price 18; cost 9; fee 2.70; shipping 3.20; packaging 0.60; ads 2.40; returns 0.90. Contribution -0.80. Red.
Monthly: A sells 200, contributing 1,240; B sells 150, losing 120.
What-if: raise B to 21: fee 3.15, returns 1.05; contribution 21 - 9 - 3.15 - 3.20 - 0.60 - 2.40 - 1.05 = 1.60.
