Break-Even Setup Tutorial

‍

Goal: Learn how to correctly set up your break-even percentage in ZIK Analytics to ensure your profit calculations are accurate and include all eBay fees and taxes.

‍

✅ Insight: Your break-even percentage represents the total costs deducted from each sale — including eBay fees, payment processing, and taxes — so ZIK can calculate your real profit margins accurately.

‍

1. Setting Break-Even in Advanced Settings

‍

Go to Management Panel → Advanced Settings.

‍
Then click the Source Website tab on the right.

‍

Here, you’ll see your:

‍

• Break-even calculation
  ‍
• Source website (supplier)
  ‍

Adjust your break-even value (e.g., 12.9%) and click Save.

‍

2. Setting Break-Even in Quick Settings

‍

You can also update it faster from Quick Settings.

‍
Scroll down to the Break-even field, enter your new percentage, and click Apply Changes.

‍

✅ Tip: Keeping both Quick and Advanced Settings updated ensures consistency across all tools in ZIK.

‍

3. Using the eBay Fee Calculator

‍

To determine your correct break-even rate, open the eBay Fee Calculator inside ZIK Analytics.

‍
It shows:

‍

• eBay fee (typically 12.9%)
  ‍
• Payment processing fee ($0.30 automatically included)
  ‍
• Optional taxes or additional costs
  ‍

✅ Example:

‍
If your eBay fee is 12.9%, setting 14–20% as your break-even gives a safer margin, especially if you sell in the U.S. where seller taxes apply.
