Referral fees

Amazon charges a referral fee for each item sold. The amount depends on the product category. Most referral fees are between 4.5% and 15%.

Fulfillment fees

The cost to ship your orders depends on whether you Easy ship your orders using Amazon logistics, use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), or self-ship your orders on your own.

Other costs

Some sellers may incur additional fees (such as long-term storage fees) or pay for optional programs like advertising or premium account services.

Getting paid and paying fees

When you set up a seller account, you’ll provide a credit card number and a bank account. Amazon proceeds from any sales will be deposited into your bank account (pre-deducting the fees). Any additional charges not covered by seller balance will be charge on the credit card.

Amazon jargon:

Referral fees

For every item sold, sellers pay Amazon a percentage of the total price—including item price, shipping cost, and any gift-wrapping charges—or a minimum amount, whichever is greater. Referral fees are in addition to selling plan fees.

Fulfillment or Shipping Fees

Fulfillment fees depend on whether you plan to ship products yourself, or use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) to handle your logistics and offer shipping for your products.

Self-Ship fulfillment fees

Amazon does not charge any Self-ship fulfillment fees, but you will incur cost for shipping for your orders through a 3rd party carrier of your choice.

Easy Ship fulfillment fees

You will be charged a weight handling fee for products delivered by Easy Ship based on the size of the item. First determine the size tier for your product (standard or oversize). Once you know the product’s size tier, use the fee tables below to determine which fee will apply.

Product Size Tiers

Standard-size versus Oversize: A standard-size item is one that, when fully packaged, weighs 12 kg or less and does not exceed:
· 45 centimeters on its longest side
· 34 centimeters on its median side
· 26 centimeters on its shortest side
Any item exceeding these dimensions is considered oversize. Any item not exceeding these dimensions, but weighs more than 12kg will also be considered oversize.

FBA Monthly Inventory Storage fee

Storage fees are charged for all units stored in an Amazon fulfilment center based on calendar month and your daily average volume (measured in cubic feet). The cubic feet of any unit will be based on the unit's size as properly packaged and ready for dispatch to customers in accordance with the FBA Program Policies. Amazon will be entitled to make its own measurement of the cubic feet or weight of any packaged unit or representative sample thereof and in the event of any conflict between such measurement and information provided by the seller, Amazon's measurement will govern.

Inventory Storage fees are charged on a monthly basis and are typically charged sometime between the 7th and 15th day of the month following the month the fee applies to. For example, if you want to see the Inventory Storage fee you paid for January, refer to the February settlement report that includes the transactions from 7-15 February.
Cost per cubic foot per month
2 AED
Calculating Cubic Feet from Centimeters
Multiply length x width x height in centimeters to get the volume. Divide the volume by 28,316.84 cubic centimeters (30.48cm x 30.48cm x 30.48cm = 28,316.84), which is the equivalent of 1 cubic foot. Example: A Unit measuring 47cm x 12cm x 10cm divided by 28,316.84 = 0.199 cu. ft.
Additional inventory storage fees apply to products classified as dangerous goods, and for units that have been stored in an Amazon fulfillment center for more than 365 days (long-term storage fees).

Other costs

As you think about the full cost of selling in Amazon stores, be sure to consider additional selling expenses you may incur, and other optional programs designed to help you increase sales.

Additional selling fees

Inventory fees
If you store inventory in an Amazon fulfillment center—available to sellers who use FBA—in addition to monthly inventory storage fees, you may incur other fees, such long-term storage fees and removal order fees.

Optional programs

Advertising
Attract customers from the time before they even realize they need your product to the time they’re purchasing it. Amazon Advertising use a cost-per-click, auction-based pricing model, meaning you set the maximum amount that you’re willing to pay when a shopper clicks your ad.
