Core selling fees

Referral fees

For all products, Amazon deducts the applicable referral fee percentage calculated on the total sales price, excluding any taxes calculated through Amazon tax calculation services. The total sales price is the total amount paid by the buyer, including the item price and any delivery charges or gift wrapping charges. Referral fees vary by category.

Monthly subscription fee

The Professional Selling Plan is a monthly subscription service that provides a suite of tools and benefits, including bulk listings, Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS), automated pricing, advanced business reports, customizable shipping rates, and eligibility for top placement on detail pages.

Per-item selling fees

Sellers with an Individual selling plan pay a per-item fee for each item sold in the Amazon store, in addition to any other applicable fees.

Closing fees

Media items are charged a closing fee for each unit sold, in addition to any other applicable fees.

Core FBA fees

FBA fulfillment fees

The FBA fulfillment fee is a per-unit fee charged to fulfill items to buyers for purchases on Amazon. The fee varies depending on the item’s category, size, and weight.

Monthly inventory storage fees

Amazon charges monthly inventory storage fees for the space that your inventory occupies in fulfillment centers. Storage fees are based on the daily average volume, in cubic feet, as measured by the unit size when properly packaged.

Long-term storage fees

Inventory that has been in a fulfillment center for more than 365 days is charged a monthly long-term storage fee in addition to the monthly inventory storage fee. Long-term storage fees are assessed using an inventory snapshot on the 15th of each month.

FBA disposal order fees

Disposal fees are charged per item when you request that Amazon dispose of items in your FBA inventory. You can also remove inventory from a fulfillment center by submitting a removal order. For more information, go to Remove inventory (overview).
