After calculation the profit margin shows in negative

Hi Everyone
My question is about VAT.
Registered with 20% VAT but when I find a product and after getting sourcing price and calculate the profit margin it becomes negative can someone explain to me the reason or I am doing some mistake in calculation.

You have taken the net sales price - £6.55
minus the fba fee - £3.58
and then minus the gross cost price £3.20 instead of the net cost of £2.67
