What is an Amazon fee audit tool?

An Amazon fee audit tool pulls your referral fee, fulfilment fee, and storage costs per ASIN and compares them against your current price, so you can see your real margin instead of an estimate. This one also tracks competitor prices alongside your own and flags when a fee change has quietly eaten your margin.

How is this different from Amazon's own fee calculator?

Amazon's calculator checks one ASIN at a time and forgets it the moment you close the tab. This tool tracks every ASIN you add over time, watches competitor prices next to yours, and gives a HOLD, RAISE, CUT or DANGER call instead of a raw number you have to interpret yourself.

Does it need access to my Seller Central account?

No. You add products by ASIN and price, and the tool pulls public fee and competitor data. There is no API key or Seller Central login required to run an audit.

How often should I audit my Amazon fees?

Amazon changes referral and fulfilment fees several times a year, often with only a few weeks notice. Re-check any ASIN close to breakeven monthly, and re-check your full catalog whenever Amazon announces a fee update.

What does a HOLD, RAISE, CUT or DANGER call mean?

HOLD means your price and margin are healthy and need no action. RAISE means competitors are priced higher and you have room to increase price without losing the buy box. CUT means a competitor has undercut you and you risk losing sales. DANGER means fees or competitor pricing have pushed your margin close to or below breakeven.

Can an Amazon fee audit catch a margin problem before it shows up in my P&L?

Yes. Fee and competitor-price changes hit your margin weeks before they show up as a revenue drop in your profit and loss statement. An audit that checks fees and competitor prices continuously flags the drop in margin the week it happens, not the month you notice lower payouts.

Does this work for FBM listings as well as FBA?

The core margin math works for both. FBA audits include the fulfilment fee and storage cost on top of the referral fee; FBM audits swap those for your own shipping and handling cost, so the breakeven and HOLD/RAISE/CUT/DANGER logic still applies.
