This is a really great feature… a nice step in a good direction. But for me, a small manufacturer/seller, the big hangup in global selling is global shipping. Ebay has solved this problem for their sellers and Amazon would be wise to look hard at this and try to adopt some form of it for their sellers. I would jump right on board with Amazon Global selling if it was done like this and I think many others would too. Otherwise, I stay out of it because of shipping. So, here’s how Ebay does it… The Ebay website calculates the international shipping and handling cost and adds the merchant’s domestic shipping fees (if any) to that. The customer pays the combined fee in checkout. Ebay pays the merchant the item price plus their domestic shipping charge and sends the merchant an order for the items to be shipped to their international shipping hub in c/o the customer. The merchant ships to a centralized Ebay international shipping hub in the USA. Ebay handles the international end of the shipping and sends the order directly to the customer from their hub, wherever they may be on Earth. It works perfectly and it is so simple. Make shipping small orders easy for your sellers and all your sellers will be Global sellers! If Ebay can do it, so can Amazon, right? Currently, we direct international customers to our Ebay listings because it’s so easy. It would be nice to be able to do the same with Amazon.

Completely useless for most of us. We have to make money, something Amazon does not know how to do. All you want to do is turn everything into a commodity business where no one makes money and you own the monopoly.
This is another waste of resources

I don’t comprehend why Amazon is not offering the one simple feature even I could program.
Minimum price is not based on some fixed margin, pulled out of thin air. It’s the result of a bunch of variables, like cost of goods sold, cost of shipping to FBA, etc, but most importantly, the fees Amazon charges in the event of a sale. These vary greatly, based on volume of the item, and category. If you have a volatile inventory, like tons of used media with mostly single units, it’s impossible to calculate this factor manually and individually. Amazon knows exactly what that fee is, in advance, and they provide the data in their API. However, there is no way to utilize this information without a third party inventory or repricing management application. This crucial info is sheepishly displayed as part of the column “Estimated fee per unit sold” in inventory management, but there is no column “estimated profit”. So if you mass update (minimum) prices, you still have to go through the inventory line by line and make a manual assessment. Ridiculous!
How difficult is it to set a global variable, like: Minimum price is desired profit margin (seller set) + cost of goods sold (seller set) + shipping to FBA per unit (seller set) + estimated storage costs (calculated by Amazon) + AMAZON CLOSING FEES for the individual unit (calculated automatically by Amazon).
That kind of feature would be newsworthy, and is long overdue. Mass updating a table? That’s the most basic feature any data management system comes with. How long has Amazon been doing this? 25 years?

I think you’re all lucky if the Global Seller pages work for you at all, my Europe works but my Japan is completely broken and seems unfixable. Customer Support has told me no one has actually worked on Global Seller support issues for almost 2 years (may or may not be misinformation on the part of the agents - who knows).
