Amazon is a popular e-commerce platform, accounting for more than 40% of global online sales. Not to mention that small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) generate nearly 60% of all e-commerce sales, so more and more companies are thinking about selling on Amazon.com.
⠀
But how much does it cost to sell on Amazon?
⠀
Amazon's seller commission depends on more than 10 different factors, including the type of seller account:
- Individual sellers pay $0.99 for each item sold.
- Professional sellers-pay $39.99 per month.
Both account types pay a variable closing fee of $1.80 for each multimedia item sold, as well as a transition fee percentage that ranges from 6% to 96% for each item sold.
⠀
Amazon's additional commissions depend on the seller's order fulfillment and shipping settings.
