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.
FEES
Category Referral Fees
Sellers pay a referral fee on each item sold. For all products, Amazon deducts the applicable referral fee percentage calculated on the total sales price. The total sales price is the total amount paid by the buyer, including the item price and any delivery or gift wrapping charges.

* Storage fees are based on the daily average volume (measured in cubic metres) for the space your inventory occupies in Amazon fulfilment centres.
Additional inventory storage fees apply to products classified as dangerous goods, and for units that have been stored in an Amazon fulfilment centre for more than 271 days (surcharge for old stock in storage).
In addition to monthly storage fees, you may be charged a surcharge for warehouse usage if certain you meet certain criteria and your warehouse utilisation rate is more than 26 weeks. The latter is calculated based on the ratio of your daily average volume of inventory in cubic feet divided by the average daily shipping volume in cubic feet over the last 13 weeks.
When you fulfil orders yourself, Amazon charges shipping rates based on the product category and shipping service selected by the customer, and then passes the amount on to you in the form of a shipping credit.
Sellers with the Professional plan set their own shipping rates (except for books, music, video, and DVD products, see credit table below). When a customer buys your product, you receive a credit from Amazon that matches the shipping rate. Keep in mind that the referral fee is calculated from the total sale price, including the item price, shipping cost, and any gift wrapping charges.
Sellers with the Individual plan use Amazon’s set shipping rates for all products. Individual sellers have to ship orders at the set rates even if the shipping credit is less than total shipping costs. So, it’s important to price items in a way that makes sure you'll earn a profit.
Shipping credits for books, music, videos, and DVDs
Amazon charges customers the following shipping rates for books, music, video, and DVD products. Sellers receive the same amount in the form of a shipping credit. This applies to sellers in the Professional and Individual selling plans.

Other costs
When calculating the full cost of selling in Amazon stores, be sure to consider additional selling expenses you may incur, and other optional programmes designed to help you increase sales
Additional selling fees
Inventory fees
If you store inventory in an Amazon fulfilment centre—available to sellers who use FBA or Multi-Channel Fulfilment—in addition to monthly inventory storage fees, you may incur other fees, such long-term storage fees, excess inventory fees and removal order fees.
High-volume listing fees
The high-volume listing fee is charged only if you list more than two million SKUs in a month. It is then charged for the highest number of SKUs over two million available this month. For each active non-media SKU over 2 million, a fee of €0.0004 per SKU will apply.
Refund administration fee
If you refund a customer for an order for which you have already received payment, Amazon will refund you the amount of the referral fee you paid for the item(s), minus the applicable Refund Administration Fee, which is the lesser of €5.00 or 20% of the applicable referral fee.
For example, if you refund a customer the €10.00 total sales price of an item in a category with a 15% referral fee, your Refund Administration Fee will be €0.30 (€10.00 x 15% referral fee = €1.50).
For example, if you refund a customer the €10.00 total sales price of an item in a category with a 15% referral fee, your Refund Administration Fee will be €0.30 (€10.00 x 15% referral fee = €1.50).
Optional programmes
Advertising

Frequently Asked Questions

How are Amazon FBA fees calculated?
FBA fees, or management fees, are calculated per item based on the category and size/weight of the item, and the channel in which it is sold. They cover the costs of storing your items in Amazon fulfilment centres, picking, packaging, shipping after purchase, and customer service.
These fees are charged per calendar month for all items stored in Amazon fulfilment centres. Based on the fulfilment channel used, you can get an estimate of your revenue (both of total sales revenue and per unit sold) using the FBA Revenue Calculator for specific items listed on Amazon.

What is an FBA Calculator?
The FBA Calculator is a preview tool that you can use to check and compare the estimated revenues for all the fulfilment options available for the products that you have listed on Amazon and registered for Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA). You can enter the expected total sales volumes to estimate total revenues, check the estimates per unit sold, and also compare fees and profitability between the different fulfilment methods.
What is the difference between Amazon fees and FBA fees?
Amazon fees refer to the total fees that all sellers must pay to list and sell products on the Amazon website. This includes the referral fee, which is a percentage of the total price of your product excluding tax. It is charged for each item sold and vary by category.
Depending on your selling plan, you may also incur a per-item fee or a monthly fee. For example, the Professional selling plan incurs a monthly subscription fee that also offers users a number of benefits.
In addition to this, certain sellers may also have to pay additional referral fees, either for premium services or marketing, or for other reasons. More detailed information about these fees is available on this page.
By contrast, FBA fees are only charged for products that you have listed under this particular service. They are calculated per unit based on the category, size, and weight of the item and include the costs of storing, picking, packing, and shipping your products with Fulfilment by Amazon. If you have opted for this service, these fees will be charged in addition to the other Amazon fees mentioned above.

How much does Amazon charge to store products?
Sellers must pay a monthly inventory storage fee (storage fees) for the space occupied by all items stored in Amazon fulfilment centres. This is calculated based on the average daily inventory volume, which is measured in cubic metres in Europe.
The fee per cubic feet/metre varies by calendar month — it is lower from January to September, and a slightly higher amount is charged for the busy months at the end of the year from October to December. The exact amount also depends on the category your product falls into and on its dimensions (size).
There is a separate tariff for storing objects that are classified as dangerous goods.
