Amazon jargon:

Referral fees

For every item sold, sellers pay Amazon a percentage of the total price—including item price, shipping cost, and any gift-wrapping charges—or a minimum amount, whichever is greater. Referral fees are in addition to selling plan fees.
FEES

Category Referral Fees

Referral fees vary by category, as listed below. Some products in certain categories may require approval prior to listing. Your product’s fee category may not be the same as the category that appears on the Amazon retail site.

Additional FBA options exist for nonstandard items, like small and light products and dangerous goods.
When you fulfill orders yourself, Amazon charges shipping rates based on the product category and shipping service selected by the customer, and then passes the amount on to you in the form of a shipping credit.
Sellers with the Professional plan set their own shipping rates (except for books, music, video, and DVD products, see credit table below). When a customer buys your product, you receive a credit from Amazon that matches the shipping rate. Keep in mind that the referral fee is calculated from the total sale price, including the item price, shipping cost, and any gift-wrapping charges.
Sellers with the Individual plan use Amazon’s set shipping rates for all products. Individual sellers have to ship orders at the set rates even if the shipping credit is less than total shipping costs, so it’s important to price items in a way that makes sure you'll earn a profit.

Shipping credits for books, music, videos, and DVDs

Amazon charges customers the following shipping rates for books, music, video, and DVD products. Sellers receive the same amount in the form of a shipping credit. This applies to sellers in the Professional and Individual selling plans.

Other costs

As you think about the full cost of selling in Amazon stores, be sure to consider additional selling expenses you may incur, and other optional programs designed to help you increase sales.

Additional selling fees

Inventory fees
If you store inventory in an Amazon fulfillment center—available to sellers who use FBA or Multi-Channel Fulfillment—in addition to monthly inventory storage fees, you may incur other fees, such long-term storage fees and removal order fees.
Rental book service fees
If you offer textbook rentals, expect to pay a rental book service fee of USD$5.00 for each rental.
High-volume listing fees
When you have a high volume of active, non-media listings that have not sold in 12 months, we charge a monthly fee of USD$0.005 per eligible listing to cover cataloging costs. We waive this fee for the first 100,000 listings.
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 USD$5.00 or 20% of the referral fee.

Optional programs

Advertising
Attract customers from the time before they even realize they need your product to the time they’re purchasing it. Amazon Advertising use a cost-per-click, auction-based pricing model, meaning you set the maximum amount that you’re willing to pay when a shopper clicks your ad.
Fulfillment by Amazon
Amazon takes care of your shipping, returns, and customer service. Specialty FBA programs like FBA Small and Light, Subscribe & Save for FBA, FBA Dangerous Goods, Multi-Channel Fulfillment, and FBA Export help you remain competitive and pay only for the services you use.
Inventory placement service
By default, when you send inventory to an Amazon fulfillment center, you may have to send your inventory in multiple shipments, each directed to a different receive center or fulfillment center, based on the products you're shipping and where you are shipping from. By having your inventory spread across multiple fulfillment centers across the country, customers who buy your product may receive it faster than they would if your inventory was located farther away.

Our inventory placement service allows you to send all of your eligible inventory to a single receive center or fulfillment center. When the shipment arrives, we then split up your inventory and send it to different fulfillment centers for you. A per-unit service fee applies.
Amazon-partnered carrier program
Amazon-partnered carriers offer discounted rates when you send inventory to an Amazon fulfillment center.
Premium account services
Premium account management and other services are available to help craft your business plan, offer personalized coaching and training, and provide information to help you grow your sales on Amazon.
