    No. When I tried to dip our companies toes into Amazon the numbers did not make sense. There was only a flat like $6 allowed for shipping costs. Yet my minimum cost to ship was about $18 at the time. So I had to add a further $12 minimum to the sell price. Which kept us competitive price wise. But the second I got orders that were a little further away the cost to ship would jump and it would chew away the profit.

    Add in the products I had on there are a bit niche and 95% of the sales were at Xmas it really was not worth the headache so I shut it down. Hindsight it was the correct move because now there are several main sellers doing the same products and they are doing it WAY cheaper than I ever could. Im not even sure how they manage to sell that cheap as their cost cant be any cheaper than mine is.
