Planning to sell across Europe? Pan-European Fulfilment by Amazon and Fulfilment by Amazon European solutions enable thousands of businesses to reach millions of Prime customers all across Europe in a faster and more cost-effective way.
When you fulfil your orders yourself, Amazon charges shipping costs 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 costs (except for Books, Music, Video and DVD products, see credit table below). When a customer buys your product, you receive the shipping cost in credit from Amazon. Bear in mind that the referral fee is calculated from the total sale price, including the item price, shipping costs and any gift wrapping charges.
Sellers with the Individual plan use Amazon’s set shipping costs for all products. Individual sellers have to ship orders at the set rates even if the shipping credit is less than total shipping costs. It is, therefore, important to price items in a way to ensure that you earn a profit.
Shipping credits for Books, Music, Videos and DVDs
Amazon charges customers the following shipping costs for Books, Music, Videos and DVDs. 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
When calculating the full cost of selling in Amazon stores, be sure to consider additional referral fees you may incur, and other optional programmes designed to help you increase sales.
Additional referral fees
Inventory fees
If you store inventory in an Amazon fulfilment centre—available to selling partners who use Fulfilment by Amazon or Multi-Channel Fulfilment—in addition to monthly inventory storage fees, you may incur other fees, such as long-term storage fees. over-limit fees and order removal fees.
High-volume listing fees
The high-volume listing fee will only apply if you exceed 2 million SKUs in a given month, and it will be applied to your highest number of SKUs above 2 million at any time during that month. For each active non-media SKU over 2 million, a fee of €0.0004 per SKU will apply.
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 €5.00 or 20% of the applicable referral fee.
For example, if you refund a customer the €10.00 total sales price of an item in a category with a 15% referral fee, your refund administration fee will be €0.30 (€10.00 x 15% referral fee = €1.50).
