Fixed cost per unit, if you know itMercado Libre charges a per-unit cost on cheap items — around $25, $30 or $37 by price band, and nothing from $299. Those figures are corroborated from independent sources rather than published by Mercado Libre, so if your own account shows something different, put it here and it replaces ours.I buy inventory tax-freeTick this if you do not pay tax on the stock you buy — with a US resale certificate, for example. Purchase tax then comes out of every figure below. Most individual resellers do pay it; most registered companies do not.Sales tax you pay on purchases (%)Whatever rate you actually pay when you buy inventory where you buy it.
