Amazon Fees. I can't believe I was so stupid for years not knowing that in addition the the 15% commission which is fair and the $.99/ book fee which is fair but that there also is a fee called " Variable Closing Fee of $ 1.35 per book. " So for every book you sell you pay them a fixed fee of $.99 and $1.35 = $ 2.34 plus 15% of the selling price. If you had a book for sale for $ 2.50 you would pay $2.34 + 15% or $.37 for a total of $2.71 so you lose $.21 cents!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Information Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) |

Variable Closing Fees Charged to Seller on all Amazon Books:
Amazon Payments automatically transfers your earnings to your checking account every 14 days. No separate Amazon Payments fees are assessed on Amazon Marketplace sales. For individual sellers, if your item doesn't sell within 60 days, the listing is closed and you pay nothing. We will confirm via e-mail that your listing has ended, and will include instructions about how to relist your item. If you're a Pro Merchant seller, your listings will remain on the site indefinitely unless they sell, you remove them, or you cancel your Pro Merchant subscription. Amazon.com reserves the right to charge sellers a fee for poor seller performance. Performance may be determined by metrics such as excessive refunding (e.g., for stockouts), high rates of A-to-z Guarantee claims filed against the seller, and credit card chargebacks on Amazon Payments transactions. Amazon.com will communicate any fees and specific performance requirements to the seller prior to charging the seller's account. Pricing Currently you can sell items in four categories at Amazon Marketplace--New, Refurbished, Used, and Collectible. Please check our Condition Guidelines. You may list items at any price you feel is fair, regardless of the Amazon.com price or list price, so long as it adheres to our General Pricing rule; however, only items priced at or above the list price (MSRP) or $10, whichever is greater, are eligible for listing as Collectible books, music, or other media products. Media items priced below $10 or list price may not be listed as Collectible. General Pricing Rule: By our General Pricing rule, you must always ensure that the item price and total price of an item you list on Amazon.com are at or below the item price and total price at which you offer and/or sell the item via any other online sales channel. Our pricing terms are defined below: The item price is the amount payable by a customer, excluding shipping and handling, as it appears when you list an item. The total price is the amount payable by a customer as well as all terms of offer/sale. This includes all of the following:
(Note: The total price does not include discounts, sales, rebates, or other promotional offers you attempt to make available through Amazon Marketplace but which we do not honor or support.) |

7What
does it cost to sell on Amazon Marketplace? With Amazon Marketplace, it is free to list items. You only pay a fee when your item actually sells. When your item sells Amazon takes out a commission of 6% to 15% (depending on the type of product sold). On top of that they will also take out an additional fixed fee of $0.99 (unless you have a Pro Merchant Subscription, in which case the fixed fee is waived). When your item sells, Amazon will also take out a variable fee (called a "Closing Fee") depending on the type of product sold, it's shipping method and it's weight. |
