Markup versus margin

Markup compares profit to cost. Margin compares profit to sale price. A $20 item listed for $50 has a 150% markup but a 60% gross margin before marketplace fees.

Resellers use markup for sourcing rules because it starts with buy cost. Margin is better after fees because it shows how much of the sale price remains as profit.
