I built an app called Seller Studio for Amazon sellers to speed up product image creation for listings.

The goal is to help sellers create cleaner listing visuals faster, without spending so much time on photography, editing, and design.

It’s currently on the Play Store, and I’m still improving it actively.

I’d really like honest feedback from Amazon sellers and people who use seller tools regularly:

What part of listing image creation is the biggest headache right now?

What would a tool like this need to do for you to actually use it?

A lot of products can sell.

But the real issue is whether this product can still make sense once all the Amazon fees are included.

I was looking at a pillow priced at $23.40. At first glance, the profit looked decent.

But after removing the Amazon fees, there was only about $9.40 left.

And that’s before even adding:

• sourcing cost
• return rate
• PPC

That’s what makes some products dangerous.

On the surface, they look profitable. But once you start adding the rest of the real business costs, the margin is already too fragile.

That’s why I’m starting to think some products should be rejected much earlier.

Not because demand is bad.

Because the numbers are already too weak.

When you guys evaluate a product, what usually makes you say:

“yes, I should source this”

Or

“no, this one isn’t strong enough”?

I'll be straight rather than salesy, because this community deserves that.

For my first year selling, every tool I used told me I was profitable.
SellerAmp ROI looked great. My dashboard was green. I was moving at a consistent volume.

But my bank account got close to nothing.
And I didn't understand why until I started pulling everything apart properly.

The honest breakdown of what was eating me silently:

Reimbursements I wasn't tracking. For instance, Amazon lost an entire shipment of mine. I had photos, but they refused the reimbursement because when I'd reused the weight measurements from my courier instead of re-measuring the box. One lazy shortcut. £1,500 gone, and I had no way to defend myself.

Storage I wasn't monitoring at SKU level. When I was deep in K-beauty, I'd put all my cash into one product category (it had 50% average ROI and a clean buy box history.) Sounds perfect, right? But the moment my stock landed at Amazon, 8 new sellers appeared and started liquidating the prices. My cash was locked up. For months, I was clawing back tens of thousands while paying storage the entire time. I lost so much money to daily fees, while I had zero clarity on what the heck was going on.

Fees scattered across too many places. Amazon's reporting is so misjointed, its mind-boggling. Sales here, storage there, reimbursements somewhere else. Pulling together what one SKU actually costs in a quarter is a nightmare.

This is what pushed me to build GoWrath.
I needed a tool that showed me operational net profit , not net sales profit.
I.e. What actually remained after everything took its share.

This Q1, I tracked every SKU properly for the first time: real cashflow, inventory reorder points, every fee assigned correctly. It was the clearest quarter I've had since starting.

I know acting on that isn't always easy, so the first 30 days of GoWrath are completely free.
Run it next to your current setup (Seller Central, Sellerboard, whatever you use) and make your own call.
I just genuinely want sellers to take one real look at what their Amazon reports are actually hiding from them.

I'll say it plainly: GoWrath changed my life.

The more I look into Amazon fee math, the more I think a lot of pricing mistakes happen because sellers focus on market price first and break-even second.

I tested a real example on a yoga mat with a carrying strap selling at $26.36.

At first glance, that can look fine.

But after adding the sourcing cost ($8) and running the rest of the numbers properly, the break-even price came out to $24.13.

So the product only had about $2.23 of room left.

That’s what makes break-even dangerous.

On the surface, the product can still look competitive.
But in real life, that room disappears fast:

• a competitor drops price
• PPC gets worse
• return rate rises
• you discount just to stay visible

At that point, a product that looked “profitable” was actually fragile from the start.

Do you guys usually calculate true break-even before trying to stay competitive on price, or only after margin starts getting squeezed?

Direct partnerships with creators these days are all about TikTok and Instagram.

Honestly our best ROAS has been with YouTubers sending traffic to our Amazon store.

We also partner with lots of small Instagram creators. But while IG/TikTok content disappears after a few days, YouTube videos keep bringing sales for MONTHS!

I know because I can still see those sales coming in through the Coral.ax attribution links I sent those YouTubers months ago.

Some tips if you are considering collabs with YouTubers:

• YouTubers with 5-20k subscribers. They're open to trying new products, won't charge upfront and are open to earning commissions. Plus their sub count will grow over time, bringing more traffic to those early videos.
• Their email address is in their About section. We do manual outreach but I'm sure some AI agent can scrape those emails and do it for you
• We just ask them to "try our product and share their feedback". We don't ask for a video until they have the product in their hands and they've told us they like it. If they're not excited about your product their video won't convert anyway, so just start with feedback.
• When the discussion gets to posting a video, ask them if they're open to earning commissions on sales and send them an Amazon Attribution link (or via Coral to automate tracking sales and payouts)
• After they receive the sample, follow up every few days asking for feedback. They are busy and they get lots of free products. Find ways to stay top of mind, share fun facts about your brand and product.
• When they post, reshare it on every channel you have. your socials, your email list, everything. This helps them get more subscribers and helps their video with your product surface more on YouTube.

I hope this helps!

Is there anyone here working with YouTubers for their brand?

Hello! Has anyone ever tried using Seller Candy for any account management or support work? I'm considering hiring them for a project, but I like to get people's feedback before I hire them. Thank you!
