What breakeven percentage should we set in AutoDS? Why so high?

What breakeven percentage should we set in AutoDS? Why so high?

Serge recommends 17% for Aliexpress sourced items. In reality,  the ebay + PayPal fees are generally no more than 15%- this depends on if you have a store, store level, what country you are in, conversions...
Serge recommends taking extra precaution because there are often extra fees in Aliexpress (due it not being PayPal to PayPal) and because shipping can add on $1-2. This way, you are always getting your preferred profit- and perhaps even a little more. 

For those who are venturing into dropshipping from Amazon (which we don't recommend), Serge recommends setting it at 18%.
