Pricing Profiles - Margin Per Channel

If we want to price a product at 30% margin on Amazon, but want to price the same product at 20% margin on eBay as 30% makes us uncompetitive we don’t have the ability to do this as there is only one 'margin token' per product. So using a pricing profile would mean it would have to be 30% the only alternative is hard coding 20% rather than using the ‘margin token’ - the issue with this is nearly every product we sell will be a different margin and we use decimals (eg 80.5% margin) so we’d need to create a profile for each one which would be an huge task. If you had a margin field stored within the listing screen instead/as well as the product screen eg ‘eBay Margin’ then we’d be able to create a pricing profile for each channel and then set margins per listings. This would enable us to then price differently across different marketplaces where we might be competitive at 20% margin but not at 30%. Example pricing profiles: ((([PrioritySupplierCost]) * (1 + ([Ebay Margin] / 100)) + [PackagingCosts] + [ShippingCost]) * (1 + ([TaxRate] / 100))) * (1 + ( [ChannelFees] / 100)) ((([PrioritySupplierCost]) * (1 + ([Amazon Margin] / 100)) + [PackagingCosts] + [ShippingCost]) * (1 + ([TaxRate] / 100))) * (1 + ( [ChannelFees] / 100)) ((([PrioritySupplierCost]) * (1 + ([Shopify Margin] / 100)) + [PackagingCosts] + [ShippingCost]) * (1 + ([TaxRate] / 100))) * (1 + ( [ChannelFees] / 100))

I was promised this would be implemented overt a year ago when we signed up and find it hard to believe that they think the same margin could possibly apply to the different sales channels which have different fees. Additionally how can it be possible to use the inbuilt Amazon repricer without either taking into account the different fees and having a setting for "min" and "max" margin?
