How much does it cost to do cross-border e-commerce on Amazon? Cost details

Amazon is the world's largest cross-border e-commerce platform, with a wide market coverage, mainly in Europe and the United States. It has a huge consumer base and generally high per-customer spending. How much does it cost to do cross-border e-commerce on Amazon?

About 50,000 yuan, the cost details are as follows:

1. Independent network, IP and computer equipment

This is where you just need to pay. The specific amount depends on each seller's IP plan. For example, if you have a dedicated network cable, the cost is ￥1000-￥2000/month, and the cost of a VPS is ￥100-￥300/month.

Regarding the flexibility of store operations, I generally recommend that students use the latter. This way, as long as there is internet and electronic equipment, the store operations can be completed, which is convenient and practical.

2. Third-party financial collection account

When we use a third-party payment account, it is free to register an account, but when withdrawing money, we need to pay the corresponding withdrawal fee. For example, the fee rate of a general payment platform is 1%-1.2%, which should also be taken into account. Our operating costs.

3. Amazon store monthly rent

When we open an Amazon store as a professional seller, we need to bind our dual-currency credit card. If the store is successfully activated, Amazon will deduct $39.99 for store rental. As long as we are still in the professional seller plan, Amazon will pay this fee monthly, which will be deducted and displayed in the bill of the settlement center.

4. Commission for pending sales

Selling products on the Amazon platform requires a certain commission. After the seller places an order, Amazon will automatically deduct this money. The commission rate varies depending on the product category in the store, and is generally 12%-15%.

5. Amazon Sales Commission

Sellers sell products on the platform, and Amazon charges a certain percentage of commission for each sale. The percentage also depends on the product category, generally between 8% and 15%.

6. Repayment Fee

This fee refers to the fee for transferring money back to domestic bank cards after receiving payment from Amazon in the United States. Since domestic bank accounts cannot directly receive US dollars, they need to be exchanged through a third party (Lianlian Payment, Pianying, etc.), and the third party will charge a certain percentage of handling fees during the exchange process. Different platforms will charge a certain percentage of handling fees. There are different rates.

Generally speaking, it takes about 50,000 yuan to do cross-border e-commerce on Amazon. The first is the equipment cost, followed by the monthly rent of the Amazon store, sales commission, collection fee, repayment fee, and advertising fee.
