Before starting to sell a product on Amazon, it’s very important to understand all the fees by using an Amazon FBA Fee Calculator!
In the product research phase, it’s super helpful to be able to quickly calculate your potential ROI and make an educated decision on what products to sell. Using Amazon FBA Calculators will give you a break down of all the fee’s
The main Amazon Fee’s are :
- Selling on Amazon
- Referral Fee – this is the fee that Amazon charges to essentially “bring” you the customers
- Variable Closing Fee – this fee is only charged when selling certain media items like cds, dvds, books and other similar products. The fee will vary depending on the specific product sold
- Amazon Fulfillment Fee’s
- Monthly Storage – the fee Amazon charges for your product to be stored at the fulfillment warehouses
- Fulfillment Fee – this is what Amazon charges to handle all the pick, pack, returns, refunds, handling, customer service and everything else that comes along with getting your product to the customer
