Amazon Fees Explained

Listing Fees
Types of Amazon Seller Accounts

Individual Amazon Seller Account:
Individual Amazon Seller Account:
- For sellers moving fewer than 41 items monthly.
- Incurs a per-item charge of $0.99 (excluding Referral Fees).
- No monthly subscription fee; operates on a pay-as-you-go model.
- For sellers moving 41 or more items monthly.

Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) Fees
Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) fees are charges incurred by sellers who utilize Amazon’s fulfillment services to store, pack, and ship their products to customers. These fees cover various aspects of the fulfillment process and are crucial for sellers looking to leverage Amazon’s extensive logistics network.
There are two main types of Amazon FBA fees:
- Fulfillment Fees: These fees cover the costs associated with picking, packing, shipping, and customer service. They depend on the size and weight of the item.
- Monthly Storage Fees: Charged for the space your products occupy in Amazon’s warehouses. The fees vary based on the volume of storage space your products utilize.
Additionally, there are other potential fees, such as Long-Term Storage Fees for items stored in Amazon’s warehouses for an extended period and Removal Fees if you choose to remove items from Amazon’s fulfillment centers.
Understanding and managing these fees is essential for FBA sellers to ensure a clear understanding of the overall costs and maintain profitability. Amazon provides detailed fee schedules and calculators to help sellers estimate costs and plan their pricing strategies effectively.
Referral Fees
Amazon’s referral fees vary by product category, and for each item sold, sellers pay a percentage of the total price or a minimum amount, whichever is greater.
For example, in the “Amazon Device Accessories” category, the referral fee is 45% or a minimum of $0.30.
Different categories have different structures, such as “Appliances – Compact,” where it’s 15% for the portion of the total sales price up to $300 and 8% for any portion above.
In most categories, there’s a fixed minimum fee of $0.30, ensuring consistency. It’s crucial for sellers to understand the fee structure specific to their product category to optimize their pricing strategy.
Additional Fees
In some product categories, there are set minimum Referral Fees, and others have multi-tiered structures.
Additionally, specific categories, like Media, may have extra charges, referred to as “variable closing costs.”
For example, products such as Books, DVDs, Music, Software, Computer/Video Games, Video, Video Game Consoles, and Video Game Accessories in the Media category incur a closing fee of $1.80.
