Hey Mods and Fellow Sellers,I have a hypothetical question regarding submitting sourcing costs in order to navigate submitted costs that are being denied because they &quot;fall outside the normal range&quot;.We sell refurbished electronics, which is a wildly volatile commodity in terms of price fluctuation, so the values of these items naturally decrease over time.It seems that the Sourcing Cost Portal automatically will reject a cost which comes in higher than a certain percentage of what a seller would net after fees if the item is currently being sold for on Amazon.com.However, due to rapid market fluctuations we sometimes sell things at a loss or at par without a profit just to liquidate it. Say are fine with accepting what we would net on a Sale on Amazon.com, but the Amazon Estimate is much lower than that. We only have invoices that show a cost that is too high and if that cost is entered it would get quickly rejected.Are we allowed to enter a cost lower than the invoice amount (but higher than the Amazon Estimate) so that it gets accepted? For Example:Item A is Selling for $299.00Our Cost is $275.00, and we have an invoice for $275.00, but we know that if we enter $275.00, it will automatically get rejected, but the Amazon estimate is $200.00 and that is way too low.Can we Enter $250.00 as the Sourcing Cost and upload the invoice for $275.00? Will the $250.00 Sourcing Cost Get Approved?

Sourcing Cost - Hypothetical Question

Greetings <forums-mention id="2c0709e6"></forums-mention>,My official guidance is that the entered cost value should match the value on your proof-of-value document. If your cost changes, you can submit a cost update for an FNSKU at any time. However, we’ll monitor the frequency of submissions for each FNSKU. Submissions may be declined if we observe a pattern of frequent updates for the same FNSKU. For additional information and proof-of-value document requirements go to <a href="https://The entered cost value should match the value on your proof-of-value document.
