    "context": "The fee stack is why price point matters so much on Amazon. Fixed fulfilment fees make products under $20 structurally hard to run profitably, while the same absolute fee on a $60 product is a much smaller share of revenue. Most sellers who fail on margin chose the price point wrong, not the product.",
    "methodology": "Fee figures reflect standard-size 2026 US FBA rate cards and 15% referral in common categories. Advertising and returns are typical operator averages, not Amazon-published fees.",
