Selling on Amazon Fee Schedule
Monthly subscription fee
- Professional selling plan: $49.95 per month*

*If you expand to sell in other stores using merged accounts, you will pay the equivalent of USD 39.99 per month, split proportionately across each country or region in which you have an active listing and charged separately in each local currency. You can downgrade at any time. For more information, go to Monthly subscription fee FAQ and Merging accounts (previously referred to as Linking accounts).
Selling fees
When your item sells, Amazon collects the amount paid by the buyer (including the item price, any shipping, gift wrap, or other charges), as well as taxes and customs duties to the extent specified in the applicable Tax Policies.
Referral fees
All sellers (regardless of plan type) pay a referral fee on each product 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 delivery and any gift wrapping charges. There is no minimum or maximum referral fee.
To find the fee category of a product, go to Manage inventory and do the following:
- Enter the SKU or ASIN of the product into the Search box.
- Click the value in the Estimated fees per unit sold column.
- Click the info icon next to the Referral fee value to view the fee category of the product.
Referral fees vary by category, as listed below.

¹The Everything Else category is available to sellers for products that do not clearly fit within existing categories. Do not list items in the Everything Else category that appropriately fall appropriately within another category. Amazon may add new categories from time to time and new categories will be subject to their own referral fees, as specified.
Sellers may require approval from Amazon before listing in some product categories.
Fixed closing fee
Professional selling plan: No fixed closing fee
Individual selling plan: $0.99 per item sold
Other closing fees
All sellers (regardless of plan type) also pay a closing fee of $1.00 per media item that is sold. Media categories are Books, Video & DVD, Music, Software, Video Games & PC Games, and Video Game Consoles.
Refund administration fee
If you refund a buyer for an order for which you have already received payment, Amazon will refund you the amount of the referral fee that 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 buyer the $10.00 total sales price of an item in a category with an 8% referral fee, your refund administration fee will be $0.16 ($10.00 x 8% referral fee = $0.80).
