Why the numbers are usually worse than expected

Fees are charged as a percentage of the selling price, not of your cost. That single detail is why adding a margin percentage to your cost price undercharges you, and why a product that looks profitable on a spreadsheet often is not. Advertising is the second leak: it is priced per order, while the margin it consumes is a share of revenue, so the two move independently as you scale.

None of this is a matter of opinion. It is arithmetic, and once it is written down the decisions get easier — usually pointing at price or unit cost rather than at more volume.
