Amazon Selling Fee Structure
Our standard selling fees provide you with access to a package of Amazon tools
and services. They’re divided into two basic types: selling plan fees and
referral fees.
In addition to selling fees, you might have added costs if you use certain
optional tools and programs like Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) or Amazon Easy
Ship. Ultimately, you get to control the cost of selling in the Amazon store
by selecting the programs, tools, and services that are right for your
business.
Note: All listed fees are displayed excluding applicable VAT. We will
additionally apply VAT to all fees displayed.
This is depending on the fulfilment channel you use

FBA Monthly Inventory Storage fee
Storage fees are charged for all units stored in an Amazon fulfilment centre
based on calendar month and your daily average volume (measured in cubic
metres). The cubic metres of any unit will be based on the unit’s size as
properly packaged and ready for dispatch to customers in accordance with the
FBA Programme Policies. Amazon will be entitled to make its own measurement of
the cubic meter or weight of any packaged unit or representative sample
thereof and in the event of any conflict between such measurement and
information provided by the seller, Amazon’s measurement will govern.
*Unless otherwise stated, all fees are in South African Rand (ZAR) and do not include applicable taxes, such as VAT. As fees are subject to change, please check Seller Central for the most up-to-date information

- Weight-based handling fee will be calculated on whichever is greater of actual weight or volumetric weight.
- The total for each parcel is rounded up to the nearest weight range.
- Amazon considers dimensional weight in kilograms = (length x width x height in centimeters) ÷ 5,000.
- Fees will be calculated for each order, adding the parcel weight to the product weight.
- The maximum length of parcel is 175 cm, with a maximum girth of 419 cm (girth = 2height + 2width).
- The calculation of fees for Selling on Amazon will not change for Amazon Easy Ship programme sellers and will continue to apply normally to your orders.
