Amazon jargon:
Referral fees
All sellers (regardless of plan type) pay a referral fee on each product sold. For all products, Amazon deducts the applicable referral fee percentage calculated on the total sales price. The total sales price is the total amount paid by the buyer, including delivery and any gift wrapping charges. There is no minimum or maximum referral fee. Referral fees are in addition to selling plan fees.
FEES
Category Referral Fees
Whether you prefer to be an Individual or Professional seller, you’ll pay a referral fee with every sale you make on Amazon. As you can see below, these referral fees depend on the category and price of the product you sell.

Does Amazon Australia have any additional fees?
As well as your selling plan and referral fees, it’s worth considering the costs of any optional fulfilment, storage and advertising services you choose to use. Our handy revenue calculator makes it easier to compare fulfilment options and Amazon seller fees for different products.
How often will I be charged online seller fees?
This depends on whether you choose to sell with an Individual plan, which applies per item sold, or a Professional selling plan which has a monthly fee. The appropriate referral fee will apply each time you sell a product. Other costs such as advertising or storage costs will apply as these are incurred.
How do you handle sales tax and other taxes?
Sales tax will depend on whether you’re selling products within Australia or internationally. Australian GST applies to most items sold on Amazon.com.au and we will apply GST if it is relevant to the sale.
