Platform Analyses

MarginIndex publishes independent analyses of e-commerce platforms and selling models.
Each analysis focuses on where margins are created — and where they silently disappear.

  • Break-even

    Where selling stops making economic sense.

  • Platform fees

    Published fees and fee stacking across platforms.

  • Hidden costs

    Operational and indirect costs often left out of calculations.

  • Margin pressure

    Price competition, returns, and structural pressure on profit.
