## Detailed Description (shows on listing page)

Stop guessing your margins. OnBuy Profit Calculator gives UK sellers an instant breakdown of profit, ROI, and margin — using OnBuy's published fee categories and VAT-on-fee structure.

WHY SELLERS USE THIS

Whether you're dropshipping, reselling, or running a white-label brand on OnBuy, knowing your real profit before you list a product saves you from costly mistakes. This calculator does the maths for you in seconds — including looking up a product directly from its OnBuy page.

KEY FEATURES

✓ Look Up Any OnBuy Product
Paste an EAN, OPC code, or OnBuy product link — or simply open the calculator while viewing a product page and it auto-fills the sell price and category for you.

✓ OnBuy Fee Categories
Built-in category fees — Standard (15%), Consumer Electronics (7%), Large Appliances (7%), Games Consoles (8%), Beer/Wine/Spirits (10%), Tools & DIY (13%), Jewellery (20%)

✓ VAT-on-Fee Calculation
If you're VAT registered, the calculator correctly adds 20% VAT on top of OnBuy's commission — verified against real OnBuy seller order data.

✓ Instant Results
See your Net Profit, ROI %, and Margin % the moment you enter your source price, with a clear Good / Normal / Low / Loss verdict.

✓ Fee Guide Reference
Tap any category in the built-in Fee Guide to instantly load that rate into your calculation.

✓ Calculation History
Your last 20 calculations are saved automatically — click any past entry to reload and adjust.

✓ 100% Private
No accounts, no sign-ups. Calculation history is stored locally in your browser. The lookup feature reads OnBuy product pages only when you choose to use it.

WHO IT'S FOR

— OnBuy dropshippers sourcing from Amazon, eBay, or AliExpress
— Resellers calculating margins before listing
— Anyone running a multi-channel UK e-commerce business

IMPORTANT NOTE
This calculator provides estimates based on OnBuy's published fee categories. Category detection from a product page is automated and may occasionally not match the exact fee OnBuy charges for that specific listing — always check the "Sales Fee" on your OnBuy Seller Central listing page to confirm before relying on these numbers for business decisions.

No fluff, no ads, no tracking — just a fast calculator built specifically for OnBuy's fee structure.

## Permission Justification (for submission form)

**storage**:
"Used solely to save the user's calculation history and current draft locally on their device using chrome.storage.local. No data is transmitted anywhere."

**tabs, scripting, host_permissions (onbuy.com, google.com)**:
"Used to read publicly visible product details (price, category, title) from an OnBuy product page when the user pastes an EAN/OPC/URL to look up a product, or when the user opens the extension while already viewing an OnBuy product page. A Google site-search is used as a fallback only when OnBuy's own search does not find a match for the entered code. No personal browsing data is collected or transmitted."
