You can see this in the Avon Earnings Chart below. This is not a simple task. This is optional and the Avon representative's choice. I highly recommend charging this due to the costs you will incur over and above just the product cost. Selling Avon is like owning your own business. You pay Avon for the products you sell, and keep the difference between what you pay Avon and how much you sell the products for.
But, like any other business, you have expenses incurred from running your operation. You can't just look at the commission alone to answer the question "Is selling Avon worth it?
Those cute little booklets of Avon products actually have to be paid for. You can order them in packs of The more you buy, the cheaper each pack costs.
Every brochure you hand out that doesn't result in an order is losing you money. If you are going to sell perfumes, lipsticks, or foundation, you will need to have samples. If you don't, you are probably going to have a lot of returns which you have to pay to ship back.
Return costs vary depending on what the samples are, but they can get costly. Also, you are going to need sponges, q-tips or something else to use with your samples if they are not one-use size.

Avon recruits tons of women by advertising their percent commission rate. While this is true in the portion of the sale sense, it is not the whole scene.
The examples are going to be on the generous side. I am not going to include gas costs since everyone gets a different gas mileage. I am also going to assume that you will be delivering all of your order by yourself. This means it does not include cost to hire people to deliver orders, put up flyers, etc.
This will be up to you. However, I can almost guarantee that if you are selling enough Avon products to make a decent profit, you are not going to be able to handle it all on your own. Keep that in mind as you look at the figures. You order and hand out 20 brochures. You deliver each order yourself in a delivery bag.
You order and hand out 40 brochures. You order and hand out brochures. Selling Avon seems to be focused on becoming leadership and selling a lot of product.
Looking at the numbers makes me think that it is just not worth it for the little man or woman. If you decide to start selling Avon, I highly suggest you look at it as starting your own business, not just a side job. For selling Avon to be worth it, you need to build your business up and recruit others below you. To be truly successful, you are probably going to have to hire people to make deliveries, put up flyers, or anything else to expand your customer base.
To get your customer base to expand, you are going to have to invest in your Avon business. This means flyers, business cards, promotional events, renting booths at conventions, you name it. More customers means a higher earnings percentage commission but it also means more hours spent, more gas used, more brochures to buy, more samples to buy, more delivery bags to buy, and more lackeys to hire. Selling Avon is just like opening up your own store.
When products arrive from Avon, simply deliver them to your customers with the next brochure. Lastly, you deliver the product to your customer and collect the remainder of their payment!
