How the two fees work

The referral fee is a percentage of the sale price, 15% for most categories with a $0.30 minimum. The FBA fulfillment fee is a flat amount based on shipping weight and dimensions, and it is the number sellers most often get wrong.

Amazon also charges monthly storage, inbound placement fees, and a referral fee on any shipping charged to the customer.

Fulfilment fees scale with the box, not the price

A $30 item and a $300 item can carry the same FBA fee. On your own store you choose the fulfilment cost instead of inheriting it.
