Frequently Asked Questions
What are Amazon referral fees?
Referral fees are Amazon’s commission on each sale, typically 8-15% of the total sales price (including shipping and gift wrap), depending on the product category. Most categories charge 15% on the first $300 and 8% on the amount above $300.
Should I choose FBA or FBM?
FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) handles storage, packing, and shipping but charges fulfillment fees. FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) lets you handle fulfillment yourself. Compare the total costs using this calculator to decide which is more profitable for your products.
Do I need a Professional seller account?
If you sell more than 40 items per month, the Professional plan ($39.99/month) is usually cheaper than the Individual plan ($0.99 per item). Professional sellers also get access to more categories and tools.
How often does Amazon change its fees?
Amazon typically updates fees annually (often in January). Always check Amazon Seller Central for the most current fee schedule before making pricing decisions.
