https://blog.labsbell.com/blog/SkippiesPart2 selling 4.99$ shoes, strangely fun to see the inner workings of ecommerce. I dont understand how amazon sellers make any money.

I love this and want to order a couple pairs!

1. Are the branded/not branded models the same cut? Since the angle on the pictures are different it's hard to judge.

2. Why do you not have more pictures of the shoes? Since those are probably impossible to try/return I want to try and avoid a wasted purchase.

3. What import taxes can one expect ordering to the EU?

Amazon is ruthless for some product categories, with a lot of competition and thin margins.

For you a healthy margin might be 3$-6$, for others they're happy with 1$... and Amazon puts pressure for cheaper and cheaper prices to make their users happy, but they refuse to cut their margins :P
