Example estimate
👕 Mid-tier sneakers
Buy (US): $89.00 · Weight: 1.2 kg · qty 5 · Category surcharge: ×1
Weight + size adds forwarder cost; authenticity checks matter on local marketplaces.
How we calculate
- Ship USD = max(forwarder min, weight × $/kg) × category surcharge.
- Landed local = buy + shipping + duty estimate + marketplace logistics.
- Sell price is set so that after marketplace fee you hit the target margin (~30% in the example).

Pre-buy checklist
- Re-run with your real weight and buy price — presets do not replace your invoice.
- Check comparable listings on the marketplace, not only your target margin.
- Factor returns, certifications, and lithium/liquid restrictions.
- USD FX moves — leave a buffer on exchange rate.
