Per-item fees

Professional Selling Plan: no per-item fee
Individual Selling Plan: $1.49 fee for each item sold

When your item sells, Amazon collects the amount paid by the buyer (including the item price and any shipping, gift wrap, or other charges). Amazon platform shipping rates apply to media products (books, music, video, DVD) sold by Professional Sellers, and to all products sold by Individual Sellers. Only Professional Sellers can offer gift wrap.

See Shipping Credits by Category for a table of Amazon platform shipping rates.


Shipping Fees (Fulfilling Orders)

When you fulfill orders yourself, Amazon platform shipping rates apply to media products (books, music, video, DVD) sold by Professional Sellers, and to all products sold by Individual Sellers. We charge these shipping rates based on the product category and shipping service selected by the buyer, and then pass the amount on to you.View Shipping Credits by Category.
