First book order via bol (Dutch Amazon) came in. It’s cheaper to order the books directly via our website. Bol takes 12,3%, plus €1,80. Than the VAT of 21% and shipping of €6,95 have to be deducted of the total price. Plus we have to pay 49% income tax over our profit, if we would make profit 😂. Breaking down this book “the price of tomorrow” by #[0]

€26,99 on platform bol

€4,68 VAT tax

€5,20 Bol platform fees

€6,95 Shipping cost

€1,20 packing and delivery to post office

Total left: €8,96

Cost to buy book €17,99

Loss €9,03

The price of tomorrow is going higher… The issue is that tax and platform fees are percentages, so you have to up it to €39,84 to break even. It’s completely insane.
