Calculation

1. Seller revenue is $50; fulfillment is $15 + $1 + $4 = $20.
2. Transaction fee: $50 × 6.5% = $3.25. Processing: $50 × 3% + $0.25 = $1.75. Listing: $0.20.
3. Attributed advertising: min($50 × 15%, $100) = $7.50.
4. Profit = $50 − $20 − $3.25 − $1.75 − $0.20 − $7.50 = $17.30.

Result: $17.30 estimated profit.
