Do not list items in the Everything Else category that 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, and not all categories may be within scope for Amazon.com.au at launch.

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 8% Referral Fee, your Refund Administration Fee will be $0.16 ($10.00 x 8% Referral Fee = $0.80).
