How is the monthly rent calculated?

Amazon's tiered pricing gives sellers a corresponding preferential rate based on their net sales* in the past 12 consecutive months, and is automatically updated every month. The higher the net sales, the lower the rate.

1. Store monthly fee Amazon sellers are mainly divided into two types: individual sellers and professional sellers. Professional sellers have to pay a store monthly fee, for example, the fee for the North American site is $39.99/month. Individual sellers have to pay an order sales fee, which is $0.99/order. The fees for other sites are subject to the site's charges.

2. Product sales commission: Different Amazon product categories will also charge a commission of 8%-15%, depending on the category.

3. Withdrawal fee: If the seller withdraws cash, the withdrawal fee rates deducted for different withdrawal methods are also different. You can find out what the withdrawal fee rates of each receiving account are.

4. Product shipping costs Sellers who open stores on Amazon worldwide need to ship goods abroad, which will incur a shipping fee. The specific cost depends on factors such as the mode of transportation, destination, and transportation company. You can consult the logistics company about the charging standards.

5. Storage fees For storage, you can choose Amazon FBA or a third-party overseas warehouse, which requires storage fees. FBA storage fees are divided into basic storage fees, long-term storage fees and delivery fees. The charging standards for basic storage fees are also different. For example, in the off-season from January to September, the fee is US$24/month/cubic meter, and in the peak season from October to December, it is US$84/month/cubic meter. Long-term storage fees refer to the fees for storage for more than 180 days. The fee for 180-365 days is US$122/month/cubic meter, and the fee for more than 365 days is US$244/month/cubic meter. For third-party overseas warehouses, the cost is cheaper than FBA, and the services provided are also more; you can choose the FBA transit method to save a certain amount of fees.

6. Delivery Fee You can choose to have Amazon deliver or have a third-party logistics provider deliver, which will incur a certain delivery fee. For example, if Amazon delivers, the delivery fee for items under 1.8 catties is about $5, and there will be an additional fee for items over 1.8 catties.
