Net Profit
What you actually made after every cost.
Net profit is the real money you keep after subtracting every cost from your sale: the platform fee, your cost of goods (COGS), and your shipping cost. This is the only number that actually matters — gross revenue and gross profit both overstate what you made.
Example
You sell a jacket for $45 on eBay. eBay takes $6.28 (13.25% + $0.30). You paid $8 for the jacket and $5 to ship it. Net profit = $45 − $6.28 − $8 − $5 = $25.72.
