To cover the costs associated with cataloging and maintaining large numbers of SKUs on Amazon.com, a monthly fee is applied based on the highest number of active SKUs from the 5th–31st days of the month. The first 1.5 million SKUs that meet these criteria will not be charged the High-Volume Listing Fee. Sellers do not need to pay the fee for the first 1.5 million active SKUs per marketplace.

Examples
Let’s say you have 1,000,000 active SKUs in a given month. Your High-Volume Listing Fee would be $0 since you have not exceeded your free allowance of 1,500,000 active SKUs. However, if you have 1,600,000 eligible SKUs, you will be charged $100. This fee is calculated as $0.001 on the 100,000 active SKUs over the free allowance.
