## Common questions

### How much does Amazon take from a $100 sale?

$15.00 in Home and Kitchen, leaving you $85.00. That is the referral fee only — FBA pick, pack and storage are charged on weight and size, not on the price, and are not part of this figure.

### How much does Amazon take in seller fees?

The referral fee runs from 5% to 45% depending on the category, across the 38 categories Amazon prices. Most categories also carry a minimum of $0.30 per item, and Amazon charges whichever is greater — never both.

### How do I estimate my Amazon selling fees?

Take the item price, the shipping you charge and any gift wrap — Amazon states that base itself, and sales tax is not part of it. Multiply by your category's referral rate, then compare the result with the category minimum and keep the larger of the two. Add $0.99 per item if you are on the Individual plan.

### Does Amazon charge a referral fee on shipping?

Yes. Amazon says the fee applies to the list price, the shipping costs and any gift-wrapping charges. Sales tax is the one thing it leaves out — which is the opposite of how eBay charges, and why the two answers differ on the same sale.
