What is the Expenses Page?

The Expenses page is where you log costs that aren’t tied to a specific item — your business overhead. Things like shipping supplies, marketplace fees, storage rent, and software subscriptions all live here. Without logging expenses, your profit numbers only reflect cost of goods vs. revenue. Adding expenses gives you the real bottom line: net profit.

Why Expenses Matter

Most resellers underestimate their true costs because they only track what they paid for items. But your actual margins are thinner once you factor in:
  • The tape and boxes you ship with
  • The 12.5% fee StockX takes
  • The storage unit you rent
  • The apps you pay for monthly
Selly subtracts everything you log here from your gross profit to show you the real number.
